Cosmo Pyke explained in an interview with The Guardian that many of the songs written on “Just Cosmo” are events taken from his life. In “After School Club”, he talks of his run-ins with the police recently.
[Verse 1]
Do whatever it is you do
I've had a few bumps and I feel good as new
You're like a pear, the way you bruise
I'm still gon' wear these clothes when I'm 22
Pathetic rain
Sheltered it with love
[Hook]
I guess it's all down to that after school club
[Verse 2]
I don't know what is I'm to do
That's the word up on the avenue
8 police were knocking down my door
Luckily for me I was on tour
One million stories
One million poor pieces
Family adore me
I'm silly I'm sorry
Confetti rains
Sheltered it with hugs
[Hook]
I guess its all down to that after school club
[Chorus]
[?]
[Verse 3]
I don't know what is I'm to do
Don't know what I got myself into
I just wanna see my health improve
That's if I'm caught guilty before my crew
No point in telling the fucking truth
Confetti rains
Blatant blaming thugs
[Hook]
I guess its all down to that after school club
I guess its all down to that after school club
[Chorus]
[?]
[Bridge]
And by the way, I'll cease to admit it
Cornered my pride and cease to re-give it
And even if I lie I know I'll still be with it
Not the rocks, not the trees
It's the death pit of thieves
That alone still breathe on the summer's night eve
Proceed
I guess its all down to the teachers that teach
Nah nah nah nah
I guess it's all down to that after school club
Probably displayed in the boundaries of us
[?]
[Hook]
I guess it's all down to that after school club
I'm so involved and I can't give it up
[Chorus]
