Mr. Watkins
You're wanted in the principals's office
This is the third time this week I've had to call your mother
I came a long way from the bottom, a lot of problems, but I finally made it
Overcame and I beat the odds, haters made cuz I graduated
Pops taught me to be a man, work hard, be the best I can
Go to school, finish strong, get a job, lead a fam
I refuse to be another statistic
Another minority locked up in prison
Out the pipeline, so now my mission's to wake em' up and get em' out the system
All I wanna to do is give em' hope, try to show em' which way to go
Lil' homie's from a broken home, he's seen the struggle, that's all he knows
Momma's workin' them double shifts, she's sick and tired of always being broke
Told young boy he ain't gotta drop out and trap, he can still be dope (He can still be dope)
I'ma grind and get that guap the legal way (I will!)
In my lane, and I don't care what people say (I don't!)
They told me I was nothin', now I'm college bound
No excuses, I'ma finish school and make my momma proud! (Whoo!)
My whole crew doing big moves, we too cray
My partner just got a scholarship, young and educated, that's a new wave (New wave!)
No cap, got my cap and gown on, look at my drip (My drip!)
When I walk the stage, I'ma do my dance, yeah I'm finna get lit (Get lit!)
Watch me flex, yes, I'm feeling like I'm blessed
All I do is give my best, and let God do the rest!
Yeah, we made it (Yeah, we made it)
Long awaited. (Long awaited)
