Anthony Cruz - Elementary Trill (Maxi Single Version) lyrics

[Intro] (x2) Elementary trill Will I ever have to eat a penitentiary meal? Will I die young, buried in the earth six feet Or will I listen to my daddy? [Verse 1] Daddy never raised me up to call myself a n***a Prolly picked that up in elementary I figure Older kids are asking is you bloods or is you crip'n Man I'm in the fourth grade, I go to school to pay attention Cause my family is faithfully some baptist church goers 1524 Lemon St that be the corner That I caught my first fade wit a peewee in the ally And lost my first fade dawg my chin was leakin' badly Older brother left and I'm the youngest child of three Third time is a charm that mean the chosen child is me Papa was a firm believer in the usage of a belt Hard head make a soft behind, I used to stay with welps Come to school like, wish I'd tell a teacher how I got this That was not an option mama workin' in the office Often time I reminisce on elementary years Go to school and act a fool, elementary trill, wa**up [Hook] Elementary trill Will I ever have to eat a penitentiary meal? Will I die young, buried in the earth six feet Or will I listen to my daddy talk about the six P's, trick please Proper prior plannin' indeed Prevents poor performance, I'm about to succeed Still I'm elementary trill Caught my game as a youngin' elementary sk**s Elementary [Verse 2] Hell was lurkin' in my home At age seven knew I wanted to be in heaven with the Lord Daddy was a preacher man, he lost his mind due to war And who've thought we'd see the consequences of a desert storm Mamma schedule was on, we left the school and hit the K-Mart She had a second job, God blessed her with a brave heart Struggle was just a part, trouble was at a dark Seen my first home invasion chillin' at the skate park Street light come on that mean we had to hurry home but I was just a curious so privy to live soul Stayed and watch the trill unfold, police Screamin' hit the floor, seen Five black brothas get up, hop the chief slow Could I sleep no, layed up in my bed that night trippen' Knowin' I should get some sleep, turn on TV with no permission now But that was elementary years Know the rule but played a fool, elementary trill, wa**up [Hook] Elementary trill Will I ever have to eat a penitentiary meal? Will I die young, buried in the earth six feet Or will I listen to my daddy? Talk about the 6 P's, trick please Proper prior plannin' indeed Prevents poor performance, I'm about to succeed Still I'm elementary trill Caught my game as a youngin' elementary sk**s Elementary [Bridge] I was just an innocent soul, I was just an innocent soul In elementary, I was just an innocent soul I was just an innocent soul
