John River - The Backup Plan lyrics

[Skit] Kennedy please make sure you load up that dishwasher and get it done before you head upstairs. Hey thanks for bringing them home man, before you leave we have to talk about back to school, like we talked about on the phone, we just want to finish high school. I don't talk about doing anything after high school but at least the basics [Verse 1] Hey mama It's little Mathew calling Getting kinda tired of staring at you and bawling I dropped out of school it ain't normal Going miss my prom and semi-formal I know it's scary don't get shook I just don't understand my textbook Like A equal 12 B equals 51 ? What the f** is this curriculum Cause I don't understand it They don't understand us Don't want to look stupid so I don't put my hand up Parent teacher interviews said that I'm distracted Just like all those other black kids Talking about this rap sh** And now I got a new sound Want to drive by Just don't want to let you down Know you want to make my own provisions Its my life, I gotta make my own decisions [Hook] Go to school, go to work, get a job Have a wife, have a kid, get a dog [?] Graduate give a future [?] Have some drinks at the bars and the pub Play some golf, let your wife join a club Even though I think my life might stop Everybody said I did the right stuff (I can't break away) Say I don't know what I want to be But you need to let me be me So tell me what you wanna do Cause there nothing that we can do [Verse 2] I've been looking, I've been looking For the fun cla** Mom thinks I'm a genius Teacher thinks I'm a dumba** She don't understand I don't understand the dumb cla** They should teach you when you see police n***a run fast Teacher said there's two hundred nations with many different wars And many different relations If I'm different, he's different, she's different, you different Why we all got the same damn education If you dropped out of high school say hell yeah Hell yeah If you dropped out of college say hell yeah Hell yeah If you don't got a dollar about to make your a** holler If you're sitting all alone and you're waiting for a loan you know you never ever pay back student loans Say hell yeah Hell yeah [Hook]
