Slap me ^CDaft, we sat down in the back of the class To seize ^Emknowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass But I'm ^Dmearly to a arrival beatbox, you got raps' Meet me ^Emon the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback No one ^Cclapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class But my ^Emflag got captured and I fell between the cracks My ^Dmtool for inspiration turned into a handicap No ^Emmatter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps Those ^Cwhipper snappers, they got trapped old chap They ^Emlost the way, they never had the right map Nee^Dmded a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back So I ^Empicked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle Put the ^Cpedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals I'll ^Emnever forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels Roaming ^Dmthrough the high land, young bucks invincible Echoes ^Emin my brain, if kids report to the principle

^FSubstance dulls the mind Traife wi^Dmne clouds the heart You can't ^Amsew a stitch with one hand While you're ^Gtaking it apart ^FBright lights might look nice But they ^Dmsure won't make you sharp You can't ^Amsew a stitch with one hand While you're ^Gtaking it apart
