Okay turn the crap off and listen
Here's how it all went down without sugarcoating it
Fourth grade D stands there so self-righteous
"Now you're in the fourth!" Like anyone gives a shit
Although he is a genius we see through it
Puts on a show like he has a clue
He stumbles over words tries to flex his brain
But we just laugh because it's so damn lame
Fast forward to sixth I'm in pain
Got an F for a stupid mistake
A little task and I'm sent to the bench
Fighting to survive in this school war
Had a friend called J we were tight
Rolled through the hallway thought we'd win the battle
But J ended up with the wrong gang
Got his face in the dirt thought he was proud
Had his head pressed down lost his glow
From best friends to strangers just lost in the dark
Now I sit here alone in the mess
Trying to pick up the pieces damn it's a stress
This is my school life it's a f*cked up trip
From school bullies to friends who lie
I fell hard but I'm still standing straight
Through all the shit I own it all
Climbing these walls it's a struggle every day
Trying to find my way must do so without delay
D is here like he has something big
"Better call Diddy do you have the contract ready?"
But you didn't DJ in Diddy's place
I get that you're trying but damn you're not hot
And D you're perfect for that joker face
But who do you get it from? J's girlfriend? No you're out
She has put your thing tired of the same thing
She's moving on now and it's your fault
I get it you slide maybe you're in the game
But don't take J's girl-she's done with this
The rest of the gang is just a joke
Top zero maybe -5 it's a hard life we lead
We're just kids trying to play our part
But the games we get stuck into? They tear us apart
Bra on mat? Yes that's all I got
But when it comes to life I feel crushed
Every lesson feels like a stab in the back
As I fight these battles it is my will that I build
This is my school life it's a f*cked up trip
From school bullies to friends who lie
I fell hard but I'm still standing straight
Through all the shit I own it all
Climbing these walls it's a struggle every day
Trying to find my way must do so without delay
D still talks like he's the king of the class
But we all know he's just full of shit
The teachers think they know everything but they don't
Acting like they care but really they don't
I'm sitting in class staring at the clock
Wonder if this toil is worth the endless battle
Dreams in my head but they feel far away
Searching for the light in this endless gray
Now it's noon and I'm all alone
Looking at the others feeling so alone
The laughter and the sound it cuts like a knife
Wish I got a break from this struggling life
Thinking of J how he used to be
We were inseparable now it's just me
What happens to the plans we used to make?
Now I'm sitting fast in this da
