JME - Education lyrics

[Intro] Stay in school, stay off the roads As easy as it sounds, it's quite hard to keep to in today's society Loads of things leading you astray, different street activities [Verse 1] You won't make it nowhere as a crook So put down your gun and pick up your books You can either go to the police station Or go school and get an education You wanna be a rudeboy? Whatever It's not big and it's certainly not clever The rate of gun crime is going up So people, please listen up, listen up I don't wanna tell you again Put down your knife and pick up your pen Don't cause an abomination Instead, just pa** your examination Get good grades and say 'em loud Go straight home and make your mum proud Trust me, as hard as it seems Education is the key to your dreams [Break] That's what my mum used to tell me every single day Education is the key to your dreams It sticks with you forever, you never lose your education ever, yeah? Listen to your parents, they've got years of experience on you Serious [Verse 2] It's cool, everything's still like school Police are the teachers who want to rule I don't get arrested, I get good grades Cause in maths, I weren't a fool There's them troublemakers on the streets There's them troublemakers on the streets They're the kids that won't sit in their seats All of the teachers know their names Cause they're in detention twice a week Detention's the equivalent of jail Full of the kids that didn't do well Half of them, the teachers don't like Don't deserve to be sitting in the cell But I just stay out the teacher's way Get through school, get the best grades Ignore the kids that run up their mouth Cause they'll be in detention one day [Outro] I hope you learnt something from today's lesson Education is the key to your dreams Education
