Knowmads - In The Hallway lyrics

I remember when I was just a kid
Skipping most of class
Smoking on a cig but hoping that I pass
Afterschool help, I don't need it yet
Find out for myself that I'm a teacher's pet
Come to class early I'ma be my best
Right at 7: 30 studied for the test
Started off rough when I did what I want
From the back of class
Now I sit in the front
Pretending I was ‘sleep so
She would notice me
Head on my desk scribble poetry
School was troubling she'd see
What's up with Cheef
Hard to get an A when she had double D's
Saw me raise my hand I was wondering
The dance is next week and
Would you come with me
Still through all the laughter I
Thought that I had her
Said she can't come with me
But could meet up after
You told me to meet you after class
Held me back to make sure that I passed
Couldn't help it always made you laugh
Said I read you like a paperback
Fantasising bout you all day
The bell would ring I guess that I'll stay
Never mind what they would all say
When you'd take me out into that hallway

‘Member in September when we met each other
We had chemistry together girl
I thought I was clever tryna think of tricks
So that our teacher'd let us sit together
I wrote you a letter you gave me your number
There was something special bout you girl
There was nothing better than the day
I looked up from my desk
You stepped into my world
I was into music, you was into soccer
I would meet you waiting by your locker
We would walk together we could talk forever
You the only one I ever thought of
I felt super awkward when I met your father
Asked where I was taking out his daughter
I ain't have a car so we would take the bus
And at the park the stars looked over us
Girl you stole my heart I
Asked to hold your hand
You laughed then kissed my cheek
It made me blush
We would stay up late just telling stories
In the morning you would call and wake me up
Had me missing sleep but I was in too deep
I fell for you and opened up that door
My friends would always clown me
But, I found a feeling with you
That I never felt before
Needed more than friendship back then
I was on my way to class when
I stopped and kissed you in the hallway
And asked if you would be my girlfriend
Fantasising bout you all day
Couldn't wait for you to call me
Young and crushing in the hallway
Cause you said I'll love you always

Yeah but fuck what y'all say
Back in the day in the
Courtyard or the hallways
From drugs and swishers to hugs and kisses
Just tryna find my Valentine
After third period I would dip skip fourth
Cop myself a fifth and be gone by sixth
Better drink that shit quick
No time to slow sip
We growing up wild and reckless in the 206
From the front of the class to
The back of the bus
For those who passing that class
Or just passing that blunt
When I was tryna rendezvous with
This blonde I knew parlaying in the cut
Remember freshman year like yo
The kegs is here
When it'd run dry we'd hit SP for extra beer
Said the kids would never learn
