Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah (As we continue on) Take y'all back (The name of this shit right here is called "School Daze") To them school days, yeah (Do remember, you're listening to The Come Up) Fayettenam, what up, man? (DJ OnPoint, J. Cole, c'mon) [Verse 1] Y'all, we came a long way from stick and move Niggas skippin' school just to scrap over bullshit Nigga, if you lose, it's a wrap Them hoes clownin', it goes down in the lunch room I'm tryna spit this game, nigga, fuck food Bust moves to the hallway My niggas posted on the wall always Ain't thinkin' 'bout class, dog, my ass tryna parlay If we had this shit our way, we'd be standin' here all day (Hah) But, look, the principal comin', give pounds, then we all skate All late to class with fake passes Livin' life in the fast lane, but ain't passin' Daydreamin', tryna be the next Jay-Z and Dame Dashes Ain't even open my book and it's time to change classes Walk straight past my ex and don't speak It's all good, I'll probably have a new ex by next week I just think the shit we did was silly, yo, I know that But what I wouldn't give to go back, hey [Chorus] Yeah, back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore But some days, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish, yo [Verse 2] I walk another nigga girl to her class with my hand on her ass If he say, "What up?" later, I just laugh Real sneaky, yo, gotta keep it low up in math Let my nigga read this real freaky note Kiki wrote, yeah Hoopin' up in PE, you can't see me on this gym floor (No) But, damn, Vanessa booty lookin' sick up in them gym shorts, uh We bag 'em up, so y'all niggas gon' have to wait So they passin' hate like, "Damn, I can't wait 'til they graduate" But some of my niggas'll probably never make it The SATs? Shit, man, I doubt they ever take it 'Cause instead of tryna send a nigga to a tutor Them guidance counselors tryna introduce us to recruiters, it's a set-up Mama cut the light on, time to get up Make sure the shirt matchin' the Forces and then I head out, hah At the time, I thought this shit was so wack But what I wouldn't give to go back, yeah [Chorus] Hey, back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore But some days, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish [Verse 3] I'm a little grown, but still reminisce Close your eyes, nigga, you remember this? Friday-night football game, something I'll forever miss Afterparties in the gym, grindin' underneath the rim You forgot your school ID? Fuck, nigga, you ain't gettin' in In the hallways actin' like some hoodlums You see that scrap? Naw, damn, I always miss the good ones Them rumors spreadin' fast with that he say, she say Twenty people on the phone 'cause everybody did three-way (Hah, remember that?) Man, we played them girls for the fools But wasn't no ladies like them ladies from other schools 'Cause seein' them same old chicks got tired quick She was just fuckin' my boy, now she all on my dick, gossip, damn Another chick pregnant, another nigga gone I reminisce on all the chicks a nigga never bone Pardon me, y'all, I'm just flippin' through some Kodaks Sittin', wishin' I can go back, uh [Chorus] Yeah, back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore But some days, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again Yeah, I sit and wish, man [Outro] Yeah This shit is dedicated to all my niggas, man RJ, Mike Shaw, Ben Brown, yeah B. Nasty, Big Joe, Smitty, what's good? Yeah Terry Sanford High School, E. E. Smith, Cape Fear Pine Forest, Douglas Byrd, South View, Seventy-First (Shout out to Brian and Ameen) Westover (My nigga Aristotle), Gray's Creek, yeah (Ali B., Sharon) Class of 2003, that's me (Can't forget Deacon) (Shout out to Jack Britt High) I know y'all remember them (It's The Come Up, niggas)
