PRE-CHORUS
Why you wasting time
Hitting over drive when you should be in school
Kids are dropping out, Mama’s crying loud
Please don’t be that fool

CHORUS
I know, I know, that you need to focus
But your circumstances are bringing you down
I know, I know, that you can be amazing
You are your only champion, do your best and be great

VERSE 1
How do you expect to pass if you keep on skipping class?
I know it’s hard to chase dreams
When teachers are breaking you down
Everybody wanna go up, but can you hold it down
I know it seems like teacher’s hate
But they don’t want us to boost up the unemployment rate
Regardless of what people say, you your only obstacle
Stay down and chase your dreams, because anything is possible
(Facts, anything is possible, anything is possible, anything is possible)

VERSE 2
You want to build yourself up, go to school boy
Education is the key, I’m talking true joy
Want to get the information, build a reputation
Want to make it to the top, to the top
And you can do it all, realize what your worth is
Take the book, take the pen, write it down
What you really want to accomplish
Treat the lady right, treat the girl right
Keep their smiles going, no abuse, no hurt, that’s a true man

PRE-CHORUS
Why you wasting time
Hitting over drive when you should be in school
Kids are dropping out, Mama’s crying loud
Please don’t be that fool

CHORUS
I know, I know, that you need to focus
But your circumstances are bringing you down
I know, I know, that you can be amazing
You are your only champion, do your best and be great

VERSE 3
Getting palpitations in public, no mediation
Y’all just documenting, next thing I’m on your highlight reel
While getting my face jammed, “interesting pole huh? “
Not asking you to be Jackie Chan
Just an escape, before I end up in a body bag
Don’t matter how you perceive me
Cause truthfully I’m just an opportunity
Reason cannot be my clothing being too revealing
As if we don’t have ladies getting assaulted
In grey sweats and blue jeans
Who am I to deserve this?
That a’int love, its jealousy
Get on my knees
God may not hear me, but he sees my tears
Declaration, yo, I’m my own family

PRE-CHORUS
Why you wasting time
Hitting over drive when you should be in school
Kids are dropping out, Mama’s crying loud
Please don’t be that fool

VERSE 4
My soul trapped inside the pit
I don’t know if I’ll make it out
Cause I kissed death on the lips
I’ll be running in this ghost town
Addiction is the latest attraction
Depression is the base of my chain of reactions
I’m losing my patience, I’m losing myself
I’m trying to figure it out

VERSE 5
Yeah, yeah,
I’d like to heal your wounds, yeah
From your mental abuse, yeah
They tend to leave some bruises
I know you feel confused
Like what is there to do, yeah
I’m here to help you out, yeah
I’m here to help you through it
So let me help you do it

PRE-CHORUS
Why you wasting time
Hitting over drive when you should be in school
Kids are dropping out, Mama’s crying loud
Please don’t be that fool

CHORUS
I know, I know, that you need to focus
But your circumstances are bringing you down
I know, I know, that you can be amazing
You are your only champion, do your best and be great
