[Intro]
Uh, ok
I can give a fuck about a college tuition
I'm already on a voyage for the knowledge I'm missing
I be highly caffeinated when I'm off of the bean
They would want me in a class instead of following dreams
I say fuck that shit (right)
We gon' put it down, say fuck that shit (uh)
We gon' put it down, say fuck that shit
This my time, right? (right)
Sorry that I'm late, I'm tryna get my mind right
Gon' get your mind right, ay
Now gon' get your mind right, ay
Now gon' get your mind right (yeah, n***a)
[Verse 1]
Uh
Never in class, too busy watching the clouds past
I walked through senior year amazed, I'm thinking how fast
People switch up, now they want me to give up
Cause I'm making moves, instead, they want me to shit up
And waste my time, taking tests I don't need
They got these kids' mind locked, something I want free
I be a little bit of guidance if you feeling indecisive
And this is for my people suffering from senioritis
Like what, don't go to class today
Like what, don't go to class today
(My mind tell me) don't go to class today
(My momma tell me) take your grown ass to class today
[Chorus]
I don't wanna waste my time, no
I don't wanna waste my time, (don't wanna waste my time)
I been really on my grind, yeah
I been really on my grind, ay
[Verse 2]
Like Badman I got sick of class
Started making classics
Started writing poetry and turned that into rapping
Follow passions that had my doubters, rolling, laughing
Until they heard Curtis was diligent, really snapping
Like a sea turtle when I follow my wave
They never noticing the hustle till you balling for days
And getting money for weeks, how they treat you is cheap
I be the source of caffeine if you falling asleep
From honor rolls and riding these scholarships
To be seventeen, performing for college kids
I would be in class, no pass, what I'm jotting is
My Ideas shooting stars, no hollow tips
All my daydreams like movies, nights full of groupies
And they all bad bitches with nice round booties
Now tell me what you learned apply it and then divide it
I would, but my black ass suffered from senioritis
But I really want my mom to be proud
I never wanna let my family down
But I've actually found the main healer where my agony crowds
Think I've finally found sanity now
It's a tragedy how we buy things, just impressing they peers
They got jobs, not passions, so they really don't care
Oh, they mad cause I'm never in directions they steer?
A black kid with a dream, that's something they really fear
[Outro]
Everybody say fuck that shit
We gon' put it down, say fuck that shit
We gon' put it down, say fuck that shit
This my time, right?
Sorry that I'm late, I'm tryna get my mind right
Gon' get your mind right, ay
Now gon' get your mind right, ay
