I go to school
Tryin' to not be a fool
Just be cool
When someone try to fight
I just say “chill out, do what’s right”

Go to school and don’t be a fool

I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.

Dig and be dug
In return.

I stay real to my peeps

And you know that’s deep

I’m keeping it real

Stayin' in school

So listen up with no playin'

Stay real, don’t play

Listen up and you’ll go all

the way.

My motto in life
Keeps me goin'.

My true colors showin'.
Do want you want now,
Live like you want to.
But now I say beware!
What you do now will come back

I am tight

I soar like a kite

I’m feelin' the wind

Soar as high as you can

Feel the wind

As I get older

I realize why people

Know who I am

Because I’m not a bug-a-boo

And I don’t talk ying- yang

So my motto is:

Don’t be driven

jump in the driver’s seat

And go for a ride

My motto is to be clean and cool

To be a good student and not act a fool,

I try to do my best at everything

Cause I already do it.

I know I’m tight and I’ma keepin' it that way!

I’m always going to be me

Don't change anything because of the people I see

The person I want to be

A lot people want to be like me, but they're too busy smoking weed

Please don’t say "we" because it's only going to be me who has the knowledge key
