JacKKnife-J - School Dayz Are Over lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] 1988 I hit the planet, neither parent musician nah.. The pair of them were earning a living So I was birthed into a certain tradition But by the time I was swearing I swear the whole f**in' family were sharing my vision.. Looking back on school I went from being determined and driven To snoozing in cla**, amusing the students, abusing the staff Ditching school mitching and alerting suspicion All the revision I did in that prison was learning the verses i'd written.. I released my debut while Tommy was serving a term and imprisoned But the original album version was with him And when it dropped I started slacking Too concerned with chasing skirt and with women Listening to them telling me about how i'm scared of committing But I interpret it different, so chicken spare me your b**hing You sign up for this best to read the terms and conditions.. But I never regret, thats just a person admitting To wishing to go back and reverse a decision, you live and learn though.,. [Hook] When me and Jack are in the lab the Chemistry is hard to match But if I die tonight LD50 is the artefact The old heads schooled me to Business but apart from that I have the Music down to a Science its where my heart is at.. Do the Math kid or if you ain't the sharpest tack Let me spell it out for you i'm talking about the Art of rap.. School Dayz Are Over..Time to plan for the future Forget your History cause none of us can start from scratch [Verse 2] At 17 I was just another brazen adolescent.. Raving at a session on a school night and waking at 11 Then turning up late and missing lessons At the back of the cla** staring out the window gazing at the heavens The teacher says my lack of concentration is distressing.. I told her be happy I graced her with my presence.. Then she gasped and she asked if i'll ever stop behaving like a cretin And said my attitude is in the way of my progression.. She kicked me out the cla** for imitating her expressions If anybody laughs you's are aiding and abetting I was suspended for not attending detention after school Not to mention being condescending and bending half the rules.. Now the principles appraising and a**essing.. He said if I get expelled how I plan obtaining a profession.. I told him time is money and were ageing with the seconds.. f** a career while i'm here I wanna be making an impression.. [Hook] I must have spent half the days of my youth In detention making paper planes, dishing out tirades of abuse.. Mr. Walsh is now a convicted pimp, its sick to think That he gave me a detention slip for blazing a zoot.. I graduated school and started slaving for suits.. Tryna Get To My Dreams, got led astray in pursuit.. Like I was aiming for the stars but then was failing to shoot I put the labor in and never got the savor the fruits.. To my real friends my right hands raised in salute Cause loyalty is just a word that people say when it suits And I been elusive since my early teens, often heard and rarely seen And though we may of parted ways we stayed in cahoots.. Like the Timberland tree in the suede on my boots I may have swayed but I never ever strayed from my roots.. Now the past is just a memory thats based on the truth.. When im sitting and reminiscing' it plays on a loop.. From my mind, to the page, to getting laid in the booth Through the speakers on the stage when im raisin' the roof.. Theres two types of people in this world; Those who find an excuse to make it and those who make an excuse Which one are you? [Hook]
