| Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
|
| Keep it in your head
|
| Don’t get in debt, don’t fret or forget
|
| To wish your neighbor well
|
| Small talk, small folk, converse, tell joke
|
| Tell it like it ain’t
|
| Make it, make out, pull through, fall out
|
| Take it round again
|
| Ooh mother, it ain’t like the way you said
|
| Ooh sister, well it seems we’ve been misled
|
| Ooh baby, is it worth it, is it hell?
|
| Old lady, you could tell us
|
| So tell us well
|
| Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
|
| Keep it in your head
|
| Don’t get in debt, don’t fret or forget
|
| To wish your neighbor well
|
| Ooh mother, it ain’t like the way you said
|
| Ooh sister, well it seems we’ve been misled
|
| Ooh baby, is it worth it, is it hell?
