[Intro: Zinga]
Got grades, gotta go by the book (yeah)
Skipping school, but I don`t give no fuck (yeah)
Going by the book, take your time
Damn this a good hook, its a war crime
[Chorus: Zinga]
Skipping school, I still get my grades up
Tackle a bitch like it`s part of the lay up
Yo
These bitches gotta pay up
Don`t chat shit if you coming with a dumb look
Got grades, gotta go by the book (yeah)
Skipping school, but I don`t give no fuck (yeah)
Going by the book, take your time
Damn this a good hook, its a war crime
[Verse 1: JeezSavvy!]
Waking up, essay time, shit forgot to study
Feeling like I`m in a coma, brain feel so muddy
Kid on the left, damn he so chubby
Got the whole of America dripping from his tummy
Woke up 7, man couldn`t even rest
The worry, the panic, the taste for success
She said it be easy, but no it`s a test
The pressure, the feeling, like under house arrest
The time going up
Pen drops, breathe slow, try not to blow up
Miss I gotta go
My levels feel low
My chances are slow
Survival is below
My brain is being towed
No one at my aid
Life is a test without a grade
Summertime at the arcade
My life is changing, memories fade
That feeling that I fade, every promise that I made
[Chorus: Zinga]
Skipping school, I still get my grades up
Tackle a bitch like it`s part of the lay up
Yo
These bitches gotta pay up
Don`t chat shit if you coming with a dumb look
Got grades, gotta go by the book (yeah)
Skipping school, but I don`t give no fuck (yeah)
Going by the book, take your time
Damn this a good hook, its a war crime
[Verse 2: JeezSavvy!]
The power, my chances, they raise
My brain is settled and I feel the praise
My heart nothing like clay
The sunshine in May
The warmth in today
Feeling like the heatwave
I had a test, it`s called life
And life is my grade
My brain on delay
The sunshine on today
Cause I did a shift, and didn`t get a raise (didn`t get a raise)
{Bridge: Zinga]
People out here, they testing me
Why you not here, why you not blessing me? (yeah)
All this trust I have in you
And you just leave me in the dirt
What did I do?
I`m just here, I got to get my grades up
Why you, you still haven`t paid up
(Yeah, okay)
[Pre-Chorus: JeezSavvy! and Zinga]
My path is today
My life is my grade
My face is my grade
My grace is my grade
My light is my grade
My life is my grade
My path is today
(Yeah it`s today)
[Outro: Zinga]
Skipping school, I still get my grades up
Tackle a bitch like it`s part of the lay up
Yo
These bitches gotta pay up
Don`t chat shit if you coming with a dumb look
