Well listen When I was very young I used to sit around the house Watching Oil Can Harry battle Mighty Mouse Until my mother said, "Son, that's not the way to be You've gotta go to school and learn your ABCs."
I said, "Is that it, mom?" She said, "That's not even half You've gotta go to school, you gotta learn some math You gotta learn how to count - one, two, three And then get brushed up on the history."
My first day of school I'll never forget My teacher said, "Recite the alphabet." I said, "A E M, um, L R," And as you can see, I didn't get very far
The teacher said, "Son, there's nothing to it Before the day's over, you'll learn how to do it And not only that, you'll learn how to read And that's one thing in life you'll always need."
Well, school's not all work; there's fun things to do Like gym, lunch, and recess, too Kindergarten was easy, it was mostly play What I was worried about was elementary

Ha! Now it started out wrong, I took another turn I didn't want to study, didn't even want to learn Didn't want to go to class, I was always late Because school became something that I started to hate Started hanging with my boys; didn't mean no harm We was going around the school pulling fire alarms I was a chilly homeboy, yes, I was down Because I came to school just to mess around I started hanging in the halls, and writing on the walls Until I got started playing basketball But I didn't have a job so I couldn't get paid And I couldn't play ball because of my grades But I still used to practice each and every day In case the coach decided to let me play But it didn't work out the way I planned So I ran to a man who said he can understand The problems I was going through He said, "Son, it's all about going to school." So I shut up, and shipped out, turned in my keys And now I'm moving up to the big leagues: high school!

So check it out, check check, I'm feeling cool 'Cause I was going on to something they call "high school" And I'm feeling funny, 'cause things aren't the same Wondering why nobody knows my name That became something that I started to miss And now that I'm here it feels like a big diss But anyway, I had to leave, I had something to achieve It was singing -YEAH- that's what I wanted to do So I got a tutor, because I'm no fool Dropping out of school is quite absurd And it's up to New Edition to spread the word Stay in school!
