[Verse 1]
Drop out, drop out
Alusa don't be a drop out, drop out
Ju ya bad grades, bad grades
Rollin' on the high grade, high grade
And I'm thinking it's a mistake, mistake
Calling me a disgrace, disgrace
Waka ni lock down, lock down
Kichwa waka ni crop out
Kijana who teach me nonsense (Nonsense)
Remember how you called me useless (Useless)
Don't you know my gift is priceless? (Priceless)
And my legacy been timeless (Timeless)
And I'm never workin' nine to five
I wanna be a rude boy for life (Boy for life)
I Know that you made a sacrifice (Sacrifice)
You know I'm willing to pay the price (Pay the price)
[Chorus]
Mama I don't wanna be the A student
Working for the B students (B students)
Ukampania C student, in the land of the D students (D students)
Oh mama na ma E students
Huku nje wanatesa na ma-Benz (Na ma-Benz)
Oh you know the end justifies the means
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
You better take your time but don't waste it (Don't waste it)
I-I think I'm loosing motivation (Motivation)
I'm sick and tired of all this fake shit
I need to find a revelation
It takes a nation to raise a man, but it takes a woman to bless the nation
And music is the best education
I'ma preach it the fucking congregation
Tellin' me nonsense (Nonsense)
Akhandi mu naganga useless (Useless)
Pole sana kama nimedigress (Digress)
A.D.H.D sio madness
You know you're judging me cause I'm high
Can't keep a job and a suit and tie
Can't keep time but when it's my time
I know you're gonna testify
[Chorus]
Have a moment of silence for the A student
Working for a B students (B students)
Ukampania C student, in the land of the D students (D students)
Oh mama na ma E students
Huku nje wanatesa na ma-Benz (Na ma-Benz)
Oh you know the end justifies the means
