On My Way 2 School Lyrics

[00:02.28] Alright, let's get up
[00:06.18] 6:30 in the morning (oh my God)
[00:09.58] You got 15 minutes to eat breakfast (alright, alright, alright)
[00:11.89] Wake your ass up, Earl and David, right now (alright, lemme get five more minutes ma, please, five minutes)
[00:16.40] No five minutes, nothin', get up (oh, God, Earl, get up bro, come on, get up my nigga)
[00:23.40] I'm gon' get your father (chill, chill, chill, chill)
[00:26.06] He know how to get y'all up (it's too early for all that, Earl, get up, just get up my nigga)
[00:34.56] Five minutes ain't gon' make ya or break ya, get your ass up right now
[00:38.83] My mother kissed me on my forehead on my way to school (yeah, she did)
[00:41.51] Told me to look out for my brother on our way to school (I got him)
[00:44.39] Walkin' passed the niggas that hustle, they told me stay in school
[00:47.01] I probably would've fell in love with it if they would've made it cool (right)
[00:49.97] I would see Bloods, Crips, and Kings on my way to school (what up)
[00:52.75] Makin' sure my outfit was mean, always was late to school (always)
[00:55.69] Report cards kept me in trouble, that shit'll break your mood
[00:58.47] I was just in homeroom with him, this nigga made the news? (Rest in peace)
[01:01.36] Fightin', givin' different addresses, they made me change up schools
[01:04.21] Walkin' through the halls next to my opps, that was a dangerous move
[01:07.07] Nice in ball, all the girls liked me, guess you could say I'm cool
[01:09.99] Had love for a few of my teachers, but I just hated school (I hated it)
[01:13.76] Either it was that or I just hated rules
[01:15.81] I even was cool with the lunch ladies that would make our food (yeah, I was)
[01:18.67] Brand new Jansport, the cops stopped me on my way to school
[01:21.30] Like, "Go to class or come with us," funny how life'll make you choose
[01:25.70] On my way to school
[01:27.48] I seen everything on my way to school
[01:30.37] I seen niggas die on my way to school (die)
[01:33.17] Just tryna stay alive on my way to school
[01:37.12] On my way to school
[01:38.84] You got a whip to drive, they gon' say you cool
[01:41.56] Both eyes red, I got high on my way to school
[01:44.09] Hope I don't end up dead on my way to school
[01:47.01] Tried to cut through the projects, got robbed on my way to school
[01:49.81] His mom needed help, he got a job, like, why stay in school?
[01:52.71] His best friend just dropped out, he had some H to move
[01:55.49] You got your pops, he ain't seen his father, he can't relate to you (he can't)
[01:58.28] His cousin pumpin' coke in the lobby and he been watchin' him
[02:01.20] His mama wasn't affordin' them Jordan's, he like, "I'm coppin' 'em"
[02:04.13] His crew said, "Fuck school," he rather go hit the block with them
[02:06.88] He tryna get a dollar, his mom made it, ain't no stoppin' him (no)
[02:09.67] He fell out with his man, he noticed he been with the opps and them (opps)
[02:12.60] He ain't been to class in three weeks, this nigga wildin'
[02:15.38] Heard about the island, that shit sound more excitin' than school
[02:17.66] Couldn't give a fuck about a test, he tryna Prada his shoes (red stripes)
[02:22.46] On my way to school (on my way)
[02:24.61] Seen 'em about to raid my buildin' on my way to school
[02:27.04] Pack on me, tried to make a killin' on my way to school (right)
[02:30.07] My life might've been different if I'd have stayed in school
[02:34.18] On my way to school (on my way)
[02:35.93] Nikes and Adidas on my way to school
[02:38.58] You ever seen a homicide on your way to school?
[02:41.32] You never seen your homie mama cry on your way to school (never)
[02:49.34] Mr. Brewster, you're always in the hallway, get to class
[02:52.47] But I ain't goin' to math today, yo I'm bored, I'm failin' that shit anyway
[02:55.57] How does detention sound before basketball practice?
[02:57.90] I ain't took none of them tests, I ain't do none of the homework
[03:00.69] Not one of them shits, so ain't no point in even goin'
[03:02.92] You got me in this shit mad early in the mornin', I'm doin' good in all my other classes
[03:06.69] I'm 'bout to get up outta here, word
[03:08.65] Just keep hanging out in the hallways, Brewster, you'll see, never gonna amount to shit
[03:13.02] Never gonna amount to shit
[03:15.11] Fuck outta here, man, whatever, man
[03:17.52] They ain't teach me shit in here anyway
[03:19.36] These teachers is broke, I'm goin' to the NBA
[03:22.49] Fuck this school shit
[03:26.35] You better hope basketball works, Brewster
