[Intro: DeQuarius Slaton + (Ace Edition)]
Education!
(Nikko, KeVaris and Jada) and DeQuarius!

[Chorus: Ace Edition]
(Education)
S-C-H-O-O-L
You got to go to school and beat that bell
When the alarm clock wakes—ring, ding dong
We're gonna start our rap about this song

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...
The weekend’s here!

[Verse 1]
[DeQuarius Slaton]
When my mom asking me (get up)
Ready for school
I was so mad I not going to school
I going to sleep, I'm missed the bus
I lay my butt down and go to sleep
(ooh)

[DeQuarius Slaton]
When my mom asking me (ready for school)
I said that "Yes mom!"
I never ever ever around this (house)
Stupid teacher made me so mad
My mom took my phone
I can't talk with my (friends)
I have to do homework
And writing this song thank to New Edition
[DeQuarius Slaton]
Well listen
When I was very young I used to sit around the house
Watching Mickey Mouse I very young
Until my mother said, "Son, have to learn in class
You’ve got to go to school and learn your ABCs

[Jada Wilkes]
When I said that I have to learn in the classroom I'm cool
I don't pick at me
About to be bullying at you

[Jada Wilkes]
I said, "Is that it, mom?"
She said, "That's not even half
You've got to go to school, you got to learn some math
You gotta learn how to count - 1, 2, 3
And then get brushed up on the history."

[Nikko Arnold]
I'm better than Ke'Varis
I tired of him he gets annoying
He sounds like 3 yrs old

[Nikko Arnold]
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
[Ke'Varis Brooks]
My name is Ke’Varis
I know how to rap
I going to school with my friends

[Ke'Varis Brooks]
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."

[NA] Well, school's not all work; there's fun things to do
[DS] Like gym, lunch, and recess, and music too
[KB] Kindergarten was easy, it was mostly play
[JW] What I was worried about was elementary

[Chorus: Ace Edition]
(Education)
S-C-H-O-O-L
You got to go to school and beat that bell
When the alarm clock wakes—ring, ding dong
We're gonna start our rap about this song
S-C-H-O-O-L
You got to go to school and beat that bell
When the alarm clock wakes—ring, ding dong
We're gonna start our rap about this song
[Verse 2]
[DS] Ha! Now it started out wrong, I took another turn
[JW] I didn't want to study, didn't even want to learn
[NA] Didn't want to go to class, I was always late
[KB] Because school became something that I started to hate
[AE] Started hanging with my boys; didn't mean no harm
[DS] We was going around the school pulling fire alarms
[JW] I was a chilly homeboy, yes, I was down
[NA] Because I came to school just to mess around
[KB] I started hanging in the halls, and writing on the walls
[JW] Until I got started playing basketball
[DS] But I didn't have a job so I couldn't get paid
[JW] And I couldn't play ball because of my grades
[NA] But I still used to practice each and every day
[KB] In case the coach decided to let me play
[AE] But it didn't work out the way I planned
[DS] So I ran to a man who said he can understand
[JW] The problems I was going through
[NA] He said, "Son, it's all about going to school."
[AE] So I shut up, and shipped out, turned in my keys
And now I'm moving up to the big leagues: high school!

[Chorus: Ace Edition]
(Education)
S-C-H-O-O-L
You got to go to school and beat that bell
When the alarm clock wakes—ring, ding dong
We're gonna start our rap about this song
S-C-H-O-O-L
You got to go to school and beat that bell
When the alarm clock wakes—ring, ding dong
We're gonna start our rap about this song

(Nikko, Ke'Varis and Jada Alex)...and DeQuarius!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...
The weekend's here!

[Verse 3]
[DS+ JW] So check it out, check check, I'm feeling cool
[NA] 'Cause I was going on to something they call "high school"
[KB] And I'm feeling funny, 'cause things aren't the same
[DS + JW] Wondering why nobody knows my name
[NA + KB] That became something that I started to miss
[DS + JW] And now that I'm here it feels like a big diss
[DS + JW] But anyway, I had to leave, I had something to achieve
[NA + KB] It was singing -YEAH- that's what I wanted to do
[AE + JW] So I got a tutor, because I'm no fool
[DS] Dropping out of school is quite absurd
[AE] And it's up to Ace Edition to spread the word
Stay in school!

[Interlude Verse 4]
[DS] I was so bored
[KB] How?
[NA] Yes it's bored too!
[JW] Nothing to do
[DS] This why I'm not get pick at

[Verse 5]
[AE] GO TO SCHOOL!
[DS] "Listening you have to go to school honey" said my mom
[DS] When I have to go to school (S-C-H-O-O-L)
[DS + JW] Why, Don't said why boy, I have to learn, Only one group have to go to school is (Us!) (Beat that bell)
[DS] It's up to Ace Edition big popular to be famous
