Lyrics
Intro
(Hip-hop rap style)
Hey there, kids, listen to me
You can be what you want to be
Big shot rich man or woman too
Do like major league players do
Basketball, baseball, or playing golf
But not a shaton man like that aAdolf
Like they say, be all that you can be
Responsible for your actions; so are we
Dopeman thug roll up to trouble you
Don't listen to what he say or like him do
It's tough being a kid in teens these days
Easy to get screwed up in so many ways
Chop, now, chop chop and spin around
Yo come correct on your own school ground
Stand up straight and look 'em in the eye
Do a buck 50 and tell 'em bye bye
'Cause you're not going to fall for their hype
Aim for the top 'cause you're that type
Never be another chance to go to school
If you pass it up now, you be dummin' - not cool
Homeboy look at the man with happy life
Kids, happiness and a very good wife
Honey, open your eyes wide as you can
Spot a happy mama with a very good man
Life is great man, that's no leg pull
Golden rule players skip the bull
Be to the other guy what you would like
To have him be to you - it's like sportsmanlike
One love, potna and help otha's out
The last thing you wanna be is a school dropout
Don't be no school dropout - Don't drop out.
