High School Cool

Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: AKA] I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom [Chorus: AKA] But Still, the kids say We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do Do, Cool [Verse 1: AKA] I am the truth, the sound track for the youth Please turn the volume up on the sound, tu! The high school cool gang in all the high school games Systems that bang like red and blue shoe strings Divorces that forced the kids through pain Like foster kids, moms always away I thought back the sport my life tortured me Now walk it off, that's what my coach taught me We never talked about the life we lead I guess we tryna work it out like PE, fuck I feel the pressure now, rent ain't free I guess we was ill-equipped for the day we leave I should've paid attention to detail Instead of paying my attention to retail Now take a trip with me Fasten the seat belt, it's the class of 06 in the building people [Pre-Chorus: AKA] I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom [Chorus: AKA] But Still, the kids say We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do Do, Cool [Verse 2: AKA] Woke up this morning a high school mood The way I felt when I had assignments due So I just tuned the iPod And zoomed to a safe place where no one can find me, dude Confine me to sin theta, square metres, hand me the Text book, I never needed Damn teacher, this crap just don't feed us Out there you gotta eat or get eat up Start my own label, get my own paper And I ain't even got one scroll on my blazer So much for private education I turned out pretty much the same that they did Now we the same kids, the rejects And the prefects is all smoking the same shit So when they treat you like you ain't shit Tell em you learned something and paraphrase this Bitch! [Pre-Chorus: AKA] I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom I forgot what they taught back in high school Must have been something important I use Did they ensure the tools for our survival? It's a big bad world outside the classroom [Chorus: AKA] But Still, the kids say We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do We got the spirit, how about you? We got the spirit, yes we do Do, Cool [Verse 3: Buks] Yo My high school knowledge As far as the charm goes I was far too polished Listening to parlotones Went out with them artist She was a pot of gold Till she later reported her report card Claiming all-stars had stolen her heart Little stick of dynamite chuck TNT She was a fan of Hip Hop and RnB She was the type to pit stop unconsciously So I'd start, stopping and leave her Never into drugs but sparking that reefer I play cool like my exterior in high school I break rules like I'm lyrically Eifel Tower I'll devour you lames though Repping your folk's cars like range rove's You not cool You not laying close to the world No golden arrow, not trained coach Too afraid to reach so you aim low Too afraid to come out so you change clothes I've seen the storm but its Post 94 Sun is up so come up and see the rainbow I thought cool was you Until I grew up and realized that you a spoof You just another legalized young dude with proof I don't need your rules If you spit my spew Means you speak like I do I know that I'm not now, but I was High School Cool [Outro: AKA] (Cool, and this song is for yall Everybody who was in high school You think of all the academic people and the first team what-whats then you think, where are they now, you know? Probably in the same position you are High School Cool)
