J. Cole - School Daze lyrics

Yeah Take ya'll back... to them school days, yeah. Fayettenam, what up, man? We came a long way from sticking move n***as skipping school, just to scrap over bullsh** n***a if you lose, it's a wrap, them hoes clowning It goes down in the lunch room I'm tryna spit this game n***a, f** food, Bust moves to the hallway My n***as posted on the wall, always Ain't thinking about cla**, dog, my a** tryna parle If we had this sh** our way We be standing here all day But look the principal's coming, give pounds then we all escape. All late to cla** with fake pa**es, Living life in the fast lane, but ain't pa**ing. They dreaming, tryna be the next Jay-Z and Damon Dashes I ain't even open my book and it's time to change cla**es. Walk straight past my ex and don't speak, It's all good, probably have a new ex by next week. I just think, the sh** we did was silly, yo, I know that, But what I wouldn't give to go back. [Chorus] Yea, Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. Yea, I sit and wish I was a kid again, Yea I sit and wish. Yo, I walk another n***a girl to her cla**, with my hand on her a**, If he say 'what up' later, I just laugh. Real sneaky yo, gotta keep it low, Up in math, let my n***a read this real freaky note Kiki wrote, yea Hooping up in P.E. you can't see me on this gym flow, But damn Vanessa booty looking sick up in them gym shorts. Uh, we bag 'em up, ya'll n***as gonna have to wait, So they pa**ing hate like, 'Damn I can't wait 'til they graduate.' But some of my n***as will probably never make it, The S.A.T. sh** man I doubt they ever take it, cause Instead of tryna send a n***a to a tutor, Them guidance counselors tryna introduce us to recruiters, it's a set-up. Momma cut the light on, "Time to get up, " Make sure the shirt matching the forces then I head out, At the time I thought this sh** was so whack, But what I wouldn't give to go back. Yea, hey, [Chorus] Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. Yea, I sit and wish I was a kid again, Yea I sit and wish. I'm a little grown, but still reminisce, Close your eyes n***a, you remember this? Friday night football game, something I'll forever miss. After parties in the gym, grinding underneath the rim, You forgot your school I.d.? f**, n***a, you ain't getting in. In the hallways acting like some hoodlums, See that scrap? Naw, damn I always miss the good ones. Them rumors spreading fast with that he say she say, Twenty people on the phone cause everybody did three-way. Man we played them girls for the fools, but, Wasn't no ladies like them ladies from other schools, Cause seeing them same old chicks got tired quick She was just f**ing my boy, now she all on my dick, gossip, damn. Another chick pregnant, another n***a gone, I reminisce on all the chicks a n***a never bone, Pardon me ya'll I'm just flipping through some Kodaks, Sitting, wishing I could go back. [Chorus] Yea, Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. Yea, I sit and wish I was a kid again, Yea I sit and wish, man. Yeah, this sh** is dedicated to all my n***as man. R.J., Mike Shaw, Jim Brown, yea, B. Nasty, Big Joe, Smitty, What's good? Yea, Terry Sanford High School, E. Smith,.. Cla** of 2003, that's me I know y'all remember this.
