On My Way 2 School - Dave East

Report cards kept me in trouble, that shit’ll break your mood

I was just in homeroom with him, this nigga made the news?

Fightin', givin' different addresses, they made me change up schools

Walkin' through the halls next to my opps, that was a dangerous move

Nice in ball, all the girls liked me, guess you could say I’m cool

Had love for a few of my teachers, but I just hated school (I hated it)

Either it was that or I just hated rules

I even was cool with the lunch ladies that would make our food (Yeah I was)

Brand new JanSport, the cops stopped me on my way to school

Like, «Go to class or come with us,» funny how life’ll make you choose

On my way to school

I seen everything on my way to school

I seen niggas die on my way to school (Die)

Just tryna stay alive on my way to school

On my way to school

You got a whip to drive, they gon' say you cool

Both eyes red, I got high on my way to school

Hope I don’t end up dead on my way to school

Tried to cut through the projects, got robbed on my way to school

His mom needed help, he got a job, like, why stay in school?

His best friend just dropped out, he had some H to move

You got your pops, he ain’t seen his father, he can’t relate to you

His cousin pumpin' coke in the lobby and he been watchin' him

His Mama wasn’t affordin' them Jordan’s, he like, «I'm coppin' 'em»

His crew said, «Fuck school,» he rather go hit the block with them

He tryna get a dollar, his mom made it, ain’t no stoppin' him (No)

He fell out with his man, he noticed he been with the opps and them (Opps)

He ain’t been to class in three weeks, this nigga wildin'

Heard about the island, that shit sound more excitin' than school

Couldn’t give a fuck about a test, he tryna Prada his shoes (Red stripes)

On my way to school (On my way)

Seen 'em about to raid my buildin' on my way to school

Pack on me, tried to make a killin' on my way to school (Right)

My life might’ve been different if I’d have stayed in school

On my way to school (On my way)

Nike’s and Adidas on my way to school (Either or)

You ever seen a homicide on your way to school?

(Boom!)

You never seen your homie Mama cry on your way to school (Never)

Mr. Brewster, you’re always in the hallway, get to class

But I ain’t goin' to math today, yo I’m bored, I’m failin' that shit anyway

How does detention sound before basketball practice?

I ain’t took none of them tests, I ain’t do none of the homework,

not one of them shits, so ain’t no point in even goin'

You got me in this shit mad early in the mornin', I’m doin' good in all my

other classes

I’m boutta get up outta here, word

Just keep hanging out in the hallways, Brewster, you’ll see, never gonna amount

to shit

Never gonna amount to shit

Fuck outta here, man, whatever, man

They ain’t teach me shit in here anyway

These teachers is broke, I’m goin' to the NBA

Fuck this school shit

You better hope basketball works, Brewster
