[Verse 1: The 49ers] I remember back in the days My teacher used to say Kids think big That's exactly what I did I thought about Christopher Wallace And how I'm gonna make a profit How I'm gonna grub doin' everything I love Wrote it down on my paper Kept it neatly in my Trapper Keeper Gave it to my teacher The day I met my first non-believer And she tried to steal my glory I felt like Ralphie in a Christmas Story Like I asked for a Red Rider Carbon Action Two-hundred shot range model air rifle I'm not gonna shoot my eye out But I might write some shit that'll make her wile out She laughed in my face Like Jake's was a disgrace And ever since then I've kept a bad taste So Ms. Yorkman, this one's for you I won't ever let a non-believer tell me what I can't do
This one's for you
I won't ever let a non-believer tell me what I can't do
[Hook] When they say stop dreaming, get a real job (You can kiss my ass - kiss my ass!) And when they say stay real, stop reaching for the clouds (You can kiss my ass - kiss my ass!) When there's a hater in the house, tryin' to fill your mind with doubts - tell 'em (You can kiss my ass - you can kiss my ass!) When you've finally got it going, show 'em prove what you're about - tell 'em (You can kiss my ass - kiss, kiss my ass!)
[Verse 2: The 49ers] I wake up late for school And I don't wanna go Cause I'm doin' all the things That my Mom don't wanna know so Teacher, teacher tell me how you do it You find a different way everday to say I'm stupid Night school, summer school, after-school detention A list of bad apples and my name is getting mentioned Cause I learn a little different Plus I'm young and I'm restless But I ain't on the path To the Department of Corrections Upon further inspection Observe rap perfection I know I'm gonna win Like a rigged up election Yet I'm seated in the section for a dunce Looks like I do the same grade more than once Find me with the rejects, the drunks, and the flunks But I stay making music that bumps in the trunks So ahead of the class Write a rap so fast Anywhere in the world I don't need no pass
