Songtexte The Lesson - Floot feat. Lucas Devotion

I'm on the scene now, so mix it up before you spoil it
Toiling, so put respect upon my name
This ain't a game son, cause I don't play one
Everybody pays fun, with no returns on their investments
I'm doing social suicide like a drug
Get my fix, from these people when I'm giving them the cut
I never budge, it's my calling and I've seen enough
To make my brain numb
These people play dumb

Next up, next up
We try to make some peace but it never seems enough
I'm talking
Fuck up, the grown ups
These kids be looking different, they have the one up
Is that a battle cry? What they calling for?
Time to hide, this scene a place for war, and I'm
Sick and tired of the call and response
Putting up a fight, join the resistance

Ayo, I've been thinking about it
And all the shit you say, bitch I really doubt it
If you wanna be like us then it's time to quit the selfish ass behaviour
I could save ya, but you wouldn't learn a thing
I searched Bing, uh, but it ain't ever got the answers
They hiding in the trees, pouncing on ya like panthers
And when you least expecting damage
Drop in on ya, they famished
It takes a true soul to make it through those scratches

Ooh, it's getting jazzy now
Ain't about playground insults I keep it high brow
I'll paint my face everywhere till I'm king of the town
Make the haters turn their smile upside down and frown
Ooh, I'm getting handsome too
Got them looking at me don't know what to do
And if I struggle to think of lyrics that are new
It's just because sick and tired of dunking on you
So take that, I made that, I can pay that
Floot and I go way back, they say that
The friends you made in school can stay with you for life
But I bet your school friend won't get famous overnight
Like mine
But that's fine
