Before I come to school, I double check my things
And keep my work on a flash drive in my jeans
Uh yeah, the things I’ve been taught
Keep on runnin’ through my mind…thoughts
A’s on my work, show the world…floss
I’m a hard worker, I wanna be the boss
I never really knew that I could be a high achiever
My teacher throws knowledge and I’m a wide receiver
I catch it with a notebook, pencil in my fingers
Keep a good attitude, positive demeanor cause…

Wanna know who the best? You ain’t even gotta ask

Don’t believe me? Check out the GPA
Goin’ for an “A” I gotta keep grindin
It’s cool to learn math, got my money multiplyin’
Yeah, multiplyin’ and passin’ my test with flying colors
Sleep on me and Imma have to snatch the covers
Never need to cover, stand tall and be aware
I stack more chips than computer software
Yeah, computer software jobs are in high demand
Livin’ life fab throwin’ money in the bag
Leader like Barack or the captain of the boat
You can be great if you study with Music Notes
With Music Notes I can be a CPA
Or a statistician for the NBA hey!

Get out of school
Hook
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
I’m gonna do my work
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
I’m gonna have some fun
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
I’m gonna make some money
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
Verse 1
School’s out, it’s hot
What you gonna do with what you got?
Just because school’s over don’t me learning stops
Don’t lose your knowledge, it’s all you got
Read to exercise that brain
Then have fun but don’t act insane
Do more online than play your games
Activate your mind, don’t let it fade
Take a class in summer school
Then hang with friends and play it cool
Have everything that you want
Prepare, review what you’ve been taught
Find topics that interest you
That will help you do what you want to do
Summer time you celebrate
When you get to school you elevate
Hook
Verse 2
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
I got work to do, I don’t know about you, but me
Imma do my thing
Homework first when I hit the scene
Math first, English second, science
Then my history lesson
Perfection every day. I got work to do, so I don’t play
No way, no way, I don’t play
“Don’t play no games,” what my mama say
So I get out of school and I follow all the rules
Bad grades in the dust, I review what we discussed
Work ain’t tough, that’s the truth
Dedication will get you through
Plus there’s three things I know
It goes work, fun, then get dough
Hook
Verse 3
What you gonna do when you get out of school?
Hmm, let me think about it
I can look for a job, pay the bills
Or follow my heart, find a career
A job is just to get by
And a job may get me what I want to buy
Nothing wrong with a job
When it’s really what I want to do
Yo, the choice is mine, it’s on me what I choose to do
Hey! Imma get paid either way
But I wanna enjoy my life
Dream about it all day and night
I want the ice and happiness in my life
I’m sitting on big wheels like The Price is Right
My sight is right, the type to fight for my dreams
Hey! I want every day sunny
So I’m gonna make some money

Well here’s a math test that I took
Waiting for my score is so suspenseful
But I’m happy when I take my look

Wanna rap, sing, or act?
Understand you gotta read a contract
Nothing wrong with getting A’s
Sometimes walls are in the way
You must learn to go beyond that
Get it poppin’, move forward, keep rockin’
Let the haters talk now, later they’ll be watching
You’ll be rising to the top, get your study on
Education is the key, the way to get your money long
Try to make friends with positive goals
Form a super team, go for the gold
Y’all can help each other increase ya knowledge
So y’all can go to, y’all can go to
Y’all can go to college

I got it all here, my mind’s so clear
Gotta learn all I can before the end of the year
Maybe slide to the library, grab a book
Can’t wait to see the grades on the quiz I took
Yesterday was a good day for me
Another nice page, add to my life story
Always cooperate, teachers adore me
Never disrespect, that’s what my parents taught me

I walk into class, agenda on the board
A test on Friday, okay I gotta score
At least an 85%, I know I can get it
Better yet a 9-0 is what I’m gonna strive for
Open up the textbook and study the chapter
A multi-step equation, okay what’s the answer?
Well there’s a process, first thing distribute
But only if you have to
What else did I learn?
Well, combine like terms
And then isolate the variable
Get X by itself man it’s very simple
And then look at your equation
Next thing do inverse operation
That’s just add and subtract
And then multiply and divide
You got the right answer and you’re feeling so fine
The right answer got you feeling so fine
Bridge
Break it down, I can show you how to break it down
