Yeah, I know better than anybody else how it be.
Nobody else got the lyrical mastery like me.
Throw my flows down seven days a week.
MC Nach got the power that ya all like to see.
Can't deny school can be a huge drag:
Classes all day make you feel like jet-lag.
Got [some?] bidness that you gotta take care of.
Ain't no time fo' school that you're aware of.
Wanna live big, ain't nothing in the game:
A scholar and a G be one and the same.
Get your nice pad, a job that really pays.
Wanna flip burgers for the rest of yo' days?
Thought so. Now I ain't your 'rents
But I'm finna give it straight 'cause they got some common sense
So pay attention, study, tap the fountain:
You'll develop the intellect to bust mountains.
Every day gotta get learned so you can kick it.
Later on in life, education be the ticket.
Think it's cool tippin' outta class to do some?
Uh-uh, dumb ain't chillin': dumb just dumb.

Learning can be a breeze.
Ain't cool to be a fool.
Gettin' As just to show the Gs,
We put the cool in school.

I'm serious: ain't no shame acing classes.
Wanna be separated from all the teeming masses,
To raise up and get out of minimum wage? (Bling!)
Ignorance ain't nothing but a cage.
Y'all be lovin' on your fellow man.
United Way makes you show that you can.
Look it up: hundred percent of all of your goals.
Good Will G gotta play all the roles.
One to the two to the three ...???
One's enough ...???... gotta play ...???
Don't let yourself take the Fs and the Ds.
Report card gotta say A-B-Cs.
E-drop in science like Henderson.
Knowledge is the medicine; gotta get your credits in
for the project, the masterful science project.
Heat should be the focus, and a big object.
I'm a true love dawg so I hate to preach
But you all gotta listen what the teachers teach.
Y'all can't listen if you're absent every day
Unless you [really bug him?], then go anyway.

Learning can be a breeze...

Midterms! Aw, snap, I hate those.
Sometimes I think I'd be happy with zeros.
After all, it's a big round number
But I ain't happy being smart as a cucumber.
Science, math, history and English...
I can't think of anything that rhymes with English.
Maybe if y'all paid attention all the time
It wouldn't be so hard to come up with the rhyme.
Written word, that's a big thing,
Gotta ...???... good with the writing
'Cause you take it afterwards, and you got it to show
In your P-O-R-T-folio.
Another thing: gotta keep reading every week.
Five books sayin' that your mind's staying asleep
??? in shape, you gotta keep the books right.
Might be boring, but later it'll be tight.
The key to knowledge is keepin' it real.
Now that you've heard my lyrical appeal
Go forth, prosper, study for your fame,
Help keep your mind at the top of the game.

Learning can be a breeze...
