Principal's Office |
Now as I get to school I hear the late bell ringing, |
runnning through the halls, I hear the glee club singing, |
and as I get to the office I can hardly speak, |
cause it’s the third late pass that I got this week, |
so to my first class I run and don’t walk, |
all I hear is my sneakers and the scratching of chalk, |
and as I get to the room I hear the teacher say, |
Mr. Young I’m very happy you could join us today, |
I try to sit down so I can take some notes, |
but I can’t read what the kind next to me wrote, |
and if that wasn’t enough to make my morning complete, |
as I try to get up, I find this gum on my seat, |
so with the seat stuck to me, I raised my hand, |
and said, exscuse me but can I go to the bathroom, maam? |
the teacher got upset, and she screamed out no, |
it’s off the principal’s office you go, |
12 o’clock comes with mass hysteria, |
everybody rushes down to the cafeteria, |
picked up my tray to have Thursday’s lunch, |
and as I tried the apple sauce, I heard it crunch, |
I’m running up the stairs with my front tooth broken, |
the nurse just laughed, and said you must be joking, |
I looked up at her with a smile on my face, |
no joke 'cause my front tooth is out of place, |
so I walked to school with ice on my lip, |
the nurse’s late pass like a gun on my hip, |
my books are real heavey, I’m walking, I’m dragging, |
ain’t no school lunch next week, I’m brown-bagging it, |
forget class, I’m a shoot some ball, |
with the late pass I got no trouble at all, |
but then the nurse walks up and says what do you know, |
it’s office to the prinicipal’s office you go recess |
passing notes is my favorite pass time, |
I can’t wait to find a girl to pass mine to, |
to express my feelings, |
give me a week B, and the girl’be dealing, |
now one young lady was looking at me, |
I said hi my name is Marvin, known as Young MC, |
but then the ball rang, and the teacher came in, |
and that’s when the game of passin notes would begin, |
I wrote the first note, told her she was fine, |
and I hoped that the two of us could spend some time, |
she wrote me back and told me you’re fine too, |
I’d love to go on a date and spend some time with you, |
so then I sat there reeling, and looking at the ceiling, |
words can’t express the way that I was feeling, |
then I though to myself, the sure way to get her, |
is to write another note, oh yes, a love letter, |
when I finished the note, it was ready to pass, |
the teacher took it, and read it right in front of the class, |
she read it word-by-word and line-by-line, |
and everybody who was laughing was a friend of mine, |
even then my girl was laughing, and it was too late, |
for me to write another note 'cause there would be no date, |
the teacher looked at me, and I said I know, |
it’s off to the principal’s office I go, |
yo, you think this is bad, wait til I get my report card |
