Before We Go

[IMANI]
First acceptance, time is of the essence
My perfect attendance is revoked

[ELIJAH]
This morning is our final warning
Separate futures forming, it's no joke

[NOELLE]
Let's make a pact:
That we will stay in tact
Even when the movie fades to black

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
I'll still have your back

[IMANI]
And how this story ends, no way to know
So let's have some fun before we go...

[ELIJAH]
I can almost taste it
When I finally make it
I'll get a chance and take it
Soon, the NBA will pay me

[IMANI]
I can see it:
Harvard Law and me
More than a degree
The Johnson legacy I'm keepin'

[NOELLE]
I just need to keep my head above the water
My path may be unclear
But it for sure goes father

[IMANI. ELIJAH & NOELLE]
Junior year's the catalyst
I know that I can handle this

[ELIJAH]
If I score the three...

[IMANI]
If I ace AP...

[NOELLE]
I just need a C...

[ELIJAH]
Impress all the scouts...

[NOELLE]
Try to get some clout...

[IMANI]
Stick to the route...

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
And I'm on my way!

[ELIJAH] (Noelle)
But today:
It's time for a little success recess (aye!)
Already missed the bus, so, I guess
We might as well take a break (Might as well take a break!)

[IMANI]
Just for today
We might as well take a leave from achieving
We know exactly what we believe in

[NOELLE] (Imani)
What difference does a morning make? (Does a morning make?)

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
This morning is our final warning
Separate futures forming
Being good is boring

[ELIJAH]
I will score the three...

[IMANI]
I will ace AP...

[NOELLE]
It's just a C...

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
How hard can it be?

[ELIJAH]
The team believes in me!

[IMANI]
What have we got to lose?

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
So today
It's time for a little success recess
Already missed the bus, so, I guess
We might as well take a break!
Just for today
We might as well take a leave from achieving
We know exactly what we believe in
What difference does a morning make?

[NOELLE]
Junior year's theme is redemption
I should still address depression
Make up work, make an impression
Make sure I'll get an acceptance

[IMANI & ELIJAH]
But this could be the end of the trio

[NOELLE]
So let's have some fun before we go!

[IMANI & ELIJAH]
It's time for a little success recess

[NOELLE]
Already missed the bus, I guess

[IMANI & ELIJAH]
We might as well take a break!
Let's take a break!

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
Just for today
We might as well take a leave from achieving!

[IMANI, spoken]
Should we?

[NOELLE, spoken]
Okay....

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]
Today
It's time for a little success recess!
Already missed the bus, so, I guess
We might as well take a break
Let's take a break!
Just for today...
We might as well take a leave from achieving
We already know what we believe in!
