[Verse 1]
Yeah, no be say I wan' vex
No be say I just really wan' flex but
Make I just talk facts
No dey biz if you dey figa I be extra
Looking down on my past
Should be worried how I get in next semester
'Cause I done had a lot of chances and I messed up
But I'm just saying this 'cause I ain't tryna catch up
'Cause I been doing my math huh
And I discovered all the places where the cash come
And it really ain't class
Cos they gon' teach you how to do it, then you're not done
And that really just trash
'Cause you just tryna get grades and pass
Daddy if you hear this, Daddy make you no vex
'Cause I don't represent the people who think education no be necessary
I just think it's becoming a big scam
'Cause after they go graduate they keep a distance
And they don't even use that information for shit
But mama pay cos she want me to be a big man
And I been making moves bigger than that ever since
And I ain't even kidding
But it's up to the kids, if they wanna be rich
They gon' have to learn what they need to
'Cause you ain't tryna burn money on me too ay
[Hook]
They need to (Ay)
They need to learn
Yeah me too, yeah
Yeah me too, yeah
Yeah me too, yeah (Straight)
Me too, yeah, yeah
You ain't tryna burn money on me too
Yeah
[Verse 2]
See, I get some mates wey them graduate
Super grades, magna cum laude
But still 'em dey house waiting for the government to intervene Nana
But that's really how they think they live the dream Nana
I don't barb, I don't get it
You go school four years learn something
But you dey here wey you no fit implement it
So much for the independence back in 1957
I done did my research, this my last year broke
'Cause I no dey deserve all this pain and the pressure that I went through
Nyame ma yɛ basaa, can I turn to you
Ma me daakye nyɛ glass make I see through
'Cause I don't wanna turn away to the dark
'Cause I know say if I do make it to heaven, e go bee you
'Cause you ain't tryna burn nothing
[Hook]
Yeah me too (Ay)
Yeah me too (Ay)
They need to learn
Yeah me too (Ay)
Yeah me too, yeah
Yeah me too, yeah (Straight)
Me too, yeah, yeah
'Cause you ain't tryna burn nothing
Yeah me too, yeah
