Now the topic here is special,
something more than any other jam you ever heard before,
it goes out to little shippies,
always act a fool,
old school,
new school,
true school rules,
a period of time of ding-dongs and pockeyes,
sumis,
toras,
palas,
jazz,
and batas,
yellow school buses and spidey tupperwares,
crocodile singlets and scuba underwears,
black and yellow tube beads and funky pencil boxes,
erase the trace with rubbers,
those with letters on it,
while Mrs. Lee burned a blackboard with white chalks,
hoping a future later you would walk the right walk,
lend your ears if your eyes hate so much,
listen to the teacher,
no buts,
more what,
something kids won't understand,
but I'm a grown ass man and understand the plan,
stay in school.
Pre-school to high school,

Ay yo my sneaks be fly,
cross color whitey slacks,
tailor made army green,
slightly baggy,
my shirt freshly pressed on my chest be the crest,
if I ain't top student I'm for sure best dressed,
this is me form 5,
SMSU 96,
I stream which means I did accounts and kinda mix,
and with numbers I was weak,
history my favorite subject,
and languages was something I always excelled at,
to the canteen we would run when the recess bell rung,
and although the food sucked that's where we had the most fun,
got our homework done,
yo the girls always helped and I always
played dumb so the girls would always help,
school is learning baby steps to walk but life,
interlude to the outside world,
that's right,
and the friends you made remain fam for life,
so make the right choice and be wise,
stay in school.
