J. Cole - School Daze lyrics

Yeah
Take y'all back to them school days, yeah
Fayettenam, what up, man?

We came a long way from stick and move
Niggas skipping school
Just to scrap over bullshit
Nigga if you lose, it's a wrap
Them hoes clowning
It goes down in the lunch room
I'm tryna spit this game nigga, fuck food
Bust moves to the hallway
My niggas posted on the wall, always
Ain't thinking about class, dog
My ass tryna parle
If we had this shit our way
We be standing here all day
But look the principal's coming
Give pounds then we all escape
All late to class with fake passes
Living life in the fast lane


But ain't passing they dreaming
Tryna be the next Jay-Z and Dame Dashes
I ain't even open my book and
It's time to change classes
Walk straight past my ex and don't speak
It's all good
I'll probably have a new ex by next week
I just think, the shit we did was silly, yo
I know that
But what I wouldn't give to go back

Yeah, back in the days when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish
I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish

Yo i walk another nigga girl to her class
With my hand on her ass
If he say 'what up' later, I just laugh
Real sneaky, yo, gotta keep it low up in math
Let my nigga read this real
Freaky note Kiki wrote, yeah
Hooping up in PE you can't see
Me on this gym flo' (No)
But damn Vanessa booty looking sick
Up in them gym shorts uh, we bag 'em up
Y'all niggas gonna have to wait
So they passing hate like
'Damn I can't wait 'til they graduate'
But some of my niggas will
Probably never make it
The SAT shit man I doubt they ever take it
'cause
Instead of tryna send a nigga to a tutor
Them guidance counselors tryna introduce
Us to recruiters, it's a set-up
Momma cut the light on, time to get up
Make sure the shirt matching the
Forces then I head out
At the time I thought this shit was so whack
But what I wouldn't give to go back
Yeah, hey

Yeah, back in the days when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish
I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish

I'm a little grown, but still reminisce
Close your eyes nigga, you remember this?
Friday night football game
Something I'll forever miss
After parties in the gym
Grinding underneath the rim
You forgot your school ID? Fuck, nigga
You ain't gettin' in
In the hallways acting like some hoodlums
See that scrap? Naw
Damn I always miss the good ones
Them rumors spreading fast with that
He say she say twenty people on the phone
'cause everybody did three-way
Man we played them girls for the fools, but
Wasn't no ladies like them
Ladies from other schools
'Cause seeing them same old
Chicks got tired quick
She was just fucking my boy, now
She all on my dick, gossip, damn
Another chick pregnant, another nigga gone
I reminisce on all the chicks
A nigga never bone pardon me y'all I'm just
Flipping through some Kodaks
Sitting, wishing I could go back

Yeah, back in the days when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish
I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, I sit and wish

Yeah, this shit is dedicated to
All my niggas man
RJ, Mike Shaw, Jim Brown, yeah
B nasty, Big Joe, Smitty, what's good? yeah
Terry Sanford High School, E smith
Class of 2003, that's me
I know y'all remember this
