People say that school doesn't matter,

They think life is made just as a dinner on a platter

They think smoking is fun and drinking is cool

Students don't realize how much they really need school

But you want to a doctor or  a licensced nurse

You want to be that person with a million dollars in your purse

You don't know what that you're missing out on this free learning

Other countries wish they were us, while kids are at home yearning

To be out and about, in this enormous and colorful world

Making something out of theirselves, having a soulmate and a baby girl

So put down the bottle and joy stick or blunt

And pick up that math book, and  get your life straighten so you can stunt
