[Intro]
This is Sarah Darlean
I home schooled all of my sons and daughters before any of them went to any other schools. My last generation never went to public school, period. I didn't like public schools, lots of death occurred in them. Rape, drugs, lies. Lies for example; Columbus discovered America, not true. God was here first

[Hook]
I never went to no school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different
No school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different

[Verse 1: Julius]
I grew up with n***as 'caine slaying
In the same place where shots reign like bang bang
You might see a n***as brain hanging
These n***as don't play games they stay AK waving
Ain't no safe haven
Now my mamma found herself with a dilemma
How do I keep my son from gang banging while maintaining
An affordable place to live needless to say that shit for her was painstaking
She thought she keep n***as in line and n***as inside and keep N***as alive
Sad that the public schools full of thugs and goons, animals that'll eat n***as alive
And all these teachers teaching n***as lies
History books they need to be revised
Bleaching n***as minds, [?] n***as blind
I appreciate she tried but I leaned on the street to teach me to survive
You got me n***a, I learned to read from my mama n***a
I never got good a punctuation but I might fuck up a comma n***a
I got caught by po-po one time
"Why you not in school do you know what time it is?"
Nah I don't know what time, this is what I told one time
[Hook]
I never went to no school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different
No school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different

[Verse 2: Demetrius]
I could barely read well into my early teens
Through the drama, my mama taught me everything she knew But it's hard to be home tutored when you ain't got a home to go to so it's on you to learn better things
Still ain't got better with my lettering
But my mama taught me how to put letters together better Than any veteran editor you ever seen
She had a king's back better then Coretta King
That's why I'm lyrically doper than Methamphetamine
I can put a couple vowels together better than man or woman With wedding rings
So when I was 17 couldn't win a spelling bee but I could write a clever scheme
But how in the hell is that gonna help ya?
When you're living in and out of shelters
That's when I felt a
Large ammount of pressure to get into this rap game
Damn shame let the rap game sell a dream to us
No plan B, no education so no plan B
No plan B for my whole family
A father, that would come in so handy right now
Wasn't good with timetables or trying to divide by pi
Or math using triangles
But thanks to my angel disguised as my mama I could solve the problems that life brings ya
[Hook]
I never went to no school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different
No school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different

[Verse 3: Kenny]
Never been to public school never stumbled in one how
Could I, I was moving every couple of months how
Could I, I was sleeping waking up at the bus stop
Hustling for money just a struggling young child
Never was rich so the fam was strangers
Was mad at everything cause that's what the pain does
Looking up at God like "damn you should hate us"
[?] 'bout the phrase but the flow was A+
I would walk around with the meanest look
I was pissed off didn't want it to be mistook
As a kid I could see where a demon stood
I could read people before I could read book
I figured I might as well get it off of my mind
Put it off in a rhyme
Feel like the rest was walking and we were crawling but wanted to be jogging but we were really falling behind
But all in do time I figured out it was all in the mind
Studying shit often because of caution taking losses
Do to a lack of education had mentally exhausted but
Smarter with time
Didn't want to be in school all of the time
Wanted bars without being involved in a crime
Plus I was on the block like an offensive line
Try hard fight hard life's hard to survive
[Hook]
No school, no school, no school
Nah no school, no school, no school
Never followed no rules, no rules, no rules
I was up in the slums hanging with the old dudes
Didn't drop out cause I didn't drop in man
Lil n***a didn't fit in man
Y'all don't understand I was raised different
Way, way way, way, way different
