DIAMOND SHELL - Cut School lyrics

rate me

[Diamond Shell]

Here I am bored, man, sittin in my math class

How much longer? (Yo thirty minutes G)

Yo, let me get this bathroom pass

I raised my hand but the teacher expects it

and I didn't put it up there to get it neglected

And yo, I'm not goin out like that so

I excused myself and interrupt the hoe

She hands me a pass and says, "Two minutes Shell"

(Wha-huh) Givin me a pass

is like the ringin the dismissal bell

I'm out the door, and I step to the left

The noise in the lunchroom sounds crazy def

I step in, I see a new face so hey

I introduce myself, hello I'm Shell, "I'm Natae"

We talked for a while and when I was through

She slid me her digits, yeah that'll do

I stood up and got ready to leave the place

and bumped into my teacher, face to face

So to avoid bein dragged off back to class

I pumped my Reeboks and pimp game and just hauled ass

Dipped around the corner, down the staircase

Security grabbed me, man I ain't goin no place

Kids if you think that's funny or cool

The only thing it got me was suspended from school

So don't ya ever cut school

I'm tellin ya, don't ever cut school

Six A.M., my mom came down to shake me

"Shell, time for school!" Man, but no need to awake me

I play it off, I get up and dress myself

Grab my schoolbooks from off the bookshelf

I step out, and now I'm bored as could be

So what will I do? Hang out with Capital T

I step around the corner, to the bus stop

Hey yo Cap! "Yo Shell, what's happenin G?

Yo man I heard what happened, yo that's foul

But yo we can both hang together and get paid,

knowhatI'msayin?" Hmm yeah, I think I'm with that black

Cause we can both hit the spots, sling drugs and be fat

So we div up the stuff and step off to the spot that

crackheads and dopefiends just love to hang out at

Now after an hour of not even gettin paid

cop shows up, dump the drugs, "Freeze, drug raid!"

I dropped my stuff and stepped off to the left

with a cop on my heels (did you shake him?)

Man yeap, I dipped down some steps and into the sub

Whatever made me think that I could deal drugs?

The cop followed me down I tried to play it smooth

He spotted me - "Freeze!" Time to move

I jumped down on the tracks, he couldn't follow me there

I crossed the tracks and up the other side, yeah

He let loose a buck, I ducked and he missed

I shot back a dead aim he's on the knockout list

I flee cause I'm free up the stairs and I'm mad

The cop snatched my gun and beat me down real bad

First he broke my nose and busted up my glasses

All of this happened to me cuz I'm too cool for classes?

Man, don't ever cut school

Kids I'm tellin ya, don't ever cut school

Down at the cop stop, I thought this can't be

My mom is on her way down and my bail is 30 G's (what?)

She's flippin and she's buggin cause my charge is red

Drug posession, plus shot one cop dead

I'm worried about what's gonna happen to me

I'm the all-time great rhyme maker Shelly D

Yo the judge dropped the hammer gave me life in the slammer

No more tours, no more radio shows magazines or glamour

The judge said, "Son, I don't mean no harm

but I hope your girl can find another date to the prom"

Prison future for now, is unclear and smoky

The only senior (??) will be taken to the pokey

If ya smoke cigarettes, I suggest you bring a stock up

Like Sly Stallone, you're the star of this lock up

My mom is upset, but not as half as me

cause I'm locked up in jail and she's on the streets free

Oh well, my bad, I shouldn'ta been so cool

Had to try to be bold and get suspended from school

So don't ya ever cut school..
