[Intro]
She go to class, work late, setting goals on her plate
Still waiting for her first date, she only settle for first place
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
Those Uggs boots , those sweats grey , that Goose red , don’t need shades
That long hair, that nice waist, those lips, prolly have that fruit taste
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
[Verse 1]
She loves sports, she knows them well, from NBA to NFL
She loves the Lakers so Boston hates her, but love the hate, cuz the envy sells
Her best friend is a Celtics fan, but what you gonna do though
She herself is a Celtic, that means she’s in this school so
Look around you can find her, cuz I did, she caught my eye
I couldn’t see behind her, it’s like I won in I spy
Until she put me on a poster, I feel like I got posterized
But at least I know that my number’s in her phone so I got holster-ized
She a fan of Zac Efron, well she could be my Vanessa
I know that I am no Zac Efron, but I could be her Black Mamba
Got no beef, but I’ll be Kobe and she’ll even shoot with me in the gym
Hope we work out I know she works out, bet she could carry me to the gym
[Hook]
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
[Verse 2]
We started talking, we found out what we had in common
I was blown away when I found out that she also listens to Common
We both know about hip hop, we both know that the bread talk
But call me Mr. Flintstone, cuz I can make your bedrock
No YMCMB, cuz she likes G.O.O.D., she doesn’t rap but I bet she could
And she prolly does on her own time, she be killing it at home time
I know that she a scholar, and those other guys wanna holler
I already know she proper, if she was an album I would cop her
No matter the outcome I should call her, but she doesn’t like phone calls
It’s not that she doesn’t like people, and it’s not like she wants her own mall
So we text all day, and we text all night
And my thumbs getting numb, but she could be the one and if that’s the case then it’s alright
[Hook]
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
[Verse 3]
She be working late at night, never knew that it would take
All those hours and there’s no “might”, she knows she’ll get those good grades
And that used to be my story too, school was always easy
My marks were high, they’d only rise, and my friends, they’d always need me
But this year I fell off… I felt like I fell down
I knew I needed time off, need some time to turn it around
So I did that, but she doesn’t know that it’s cuz of her I tried harder
And it wasn’t hard to try harder cuz I always I knew I was smarter
Now I think I’m back, my friends still call me RaC
She’s the only thing missing I don’t need no Andre 3 stacks
I love it when she listens, I watch her eyes just glisten
And those… bands don’t make her dance, cuz she different
[Hook]
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
[Outro]
She go to class, work late, setting goals on her plate
She’s going on her first date, she knows that she won first place
She a scholar, bet you wouldn't even know, she a scholar
Those boots off, those sweats take, that coat off, don’t need shades
That long hair, that nice waist, those lips, do have that fruit taste
Who buys albums anymore? Well I would (if she was one).
I rather have her by my side than have money.
A reference to rapper Andre 3000.
I started grade 12 not doing well, but I worked my way up and started doing well in school again, as I’m accustomed to. She has always had good marks and that inspired me to do well too.
Just a happy ending to the story of her, my scholar.
Reference to the first line of the song where she’s working late.
She’s a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, which has a rivalry against the Boston Celtics, who her best friend happens to be a fan of.
Coincidentally, she goes to Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute, who’s team name is the Celtics.
My first stage name I used, and still visible in my twitter handle (follow me!).
Derived from the first letters of my birth first and last names:
Ra ymond
C han
A reference to a line in the hook of Bedrock.
But quickly, I contradict myself, because she prefers G.O.O.D. Music over YMCMB.
A girl that watches sport already wins points in my books. I watch a lot of NBA and sometimes NFL, just like her.
Pretty boss to know a girl who also listens to this man.
Common is also on G.O.O.D. Music, which she is a fan of.
She knows about the hip hop culture.
She also knows that money talks.
Confirmed. No more probably, Indeed they do have that fruit taste strawberry to be specific.
She could possibly put her phone in a holster… which means she’s possibly (still) on Team Blackberry.
Contrary to the song by Juicy J, she’s just different.
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were a significant couple before they broke up.
Zac is a guy on her list… I’m not sure why but:
Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Laine are a couple.
If I had a choice to be either Kobe or Zac, obviously I’d choose Kobe.
Reference to the food Kobe beef made from cattle.
Also referred to the most memorable line in the song Stay Schemin'.
Unlike Vanessa, she would shoot a basketball with me in the gym, because she plays. She also works out so perhaps she could literally carry me to Goodlife or wherever.
She doesn’t like phone calls not because she’s too good to talk to people on the phone, but just because she doesn’t like talking on the phone. As a result, we text a lot.
