| I remember back in the days
|
| My teacher used to say
|
| Kids think big
|
| That’s exactly what I did
|
| I thought about Christopher Wallace
|
| And how I’m gonna make a profit
|
| How I’m gonna grub doin' everything I love
|
| Wrote it down on my paper
|
| Kept it neatly in my Trapper Keeper
|
| Gave it to my teacher
|
| The day I met my first non-believer
|
| And she tried to steal my glory
|
| I felt like Ralphie in a Christmas Story
|
| Like I asked for a Red Rider Carbon Action
|
| Two-hundred shot range model air rifle
|
| I’m not gonna shoot my eye out
|
| But I might write some shit that’ll make her wile out
|
| She laughed in my face
|
| Like Jake’s was a disgrace
|
| And ever since then I’ve kept a bad taste
|
| So Ms. Yorkman, this one’s for you
|
| I won’t ever let a non-believer tell me what I can’t do
|
| This one’s for you
|
| I won’t ever let a non-believer tell me what I can’t do
|
| When they say stop dreaming, get a real job
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss my ass!)
|
| And when they say stay real, stop reaching for the clouds
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss my ass!)
|
| When there’s a hater in the house, tryin' to fill your mind with doubts — tell
|
| 'em
|
| (You can kiss my ass — you can kiss my ass!)
|
| When you’ve finally got it going, show 'em prove what you’re about — tell 'em
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss, kiss my ass!)
|
| I wake up late for school
|
| And I don’t wanna go
|
| Cause I’m doin' all the things
|
| That my Mom don’t wanna know so
|
| Teacher, teacher tell me how you do it
|
| You find a different way everday to say I’m stupid
|
| Night school, summer school, after-school detention
|
| A list of bad apples and my name is getting mentioned
|
| Cause I learn a little different
|
| Plus I’m young and I’m restless
|
| But I ain’t on the path
|
| To the Department of Corrections
|
| Upon further inspection
|
| Observe rap perfection
|
| I know I’m gonna win
|
| Like a rigged up election
|
| Yet I’m seated in the section for a dunce
|
| Looks like I do the same grade more than once
|
| Find me with the rejects, the drunks, and the flunks
|
| But I stay making music that bumps in the trunks
|
| So ahead of the class
|
| Write a rap so fast
|
| Anywhere in the world
|
| I don’t need no pass
|
| When they say stop dreaming and get a real job
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss my ass!)
|
| And when they say get real, stop reaching for the clouds
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss my ass!)
|
| When there’s a hater in the house, tryin' to fill your mind with doubts — tell
|
| 'em
|
| (You can kiss my ass — you can kiss my ass!)
|
| When you’ve finally got it going, show 'em prove what you’re about — tell 'em
|
| (You can kiss my ass — kiss my ass!)
|
| Kiss my ass brother-fucker |
