[Verse 1] Fresh Off train, walking to this school where I feel so outta place The only thing on my mind is when is it time to go home, you can tell by the look on my face I'll rather be here trying to make a honest living,Instead of being stuck working a everyday 9 to 5 making minimum wage It's treat cla** like prison, I do my time and I'm out Half of the time I can give a damn about what the teacher is talking about When they look at me they think I'm another ghetto hoodlum But what they don't know is I focus on school, pursing a bachelor degree Judging me with all types of stereotypes, so f** what they gotta say about me Doesn't matter if I become popular or not Or nobody doesn't even have to know my name Why? because I'm the black man on campus [Hook] It's just like high school all over again, sh** don't change Now that I'm college now it's easier to explain Base on my style, and the way that I stand out
That show that I'm the black man on campus [Verse 2] Whether cla** is at 10 to 1, 2 to 6, or 6 to 10 I'm in cla** but who said i'd be on time? That where I spend most of my time writing a poem, or maybe a rap Cla** is draining my energy, so my head hit the desk and I'm taking a nap I got things to do, places to be, people to see Holla At my homie slaughter so he can hook me up with some hip-hop beats But in the mean time , I let all my thoughts hit the paper You can't imagine how much time I have wasted, when my head suppose to be in the books I ask myself do I really care about school? yeah I do, but this place is the worst So Represent myself as being the black man on campus [Hook] It's just like high school all over again, sh** don't change Now that I'm college now it's easier to explain Base on my style, and the way that I stand out That show that I'm the black man on campus
