School Spirit

[Verse]
Gather 'round
They're 'bout to tell a story but not what it's about
'Bout to put your little ass on the right route
'Bout to teach us something we could never live without
But you'll never live it down if you never follow crowds
After everything you learned, when you think about it now
Saying, "Why'd I hit the loud? Why'd I pop a bean?"
Just the lifestyle of a young sixteen-year-old with low confidence and self esteem
Probably why I said yes when I was offered lean
Probably why I always wake up from my dreams feeling like I've never done anything
Pill pushers say, "I got it for the low."
And shit, there was a time when I would have said no
But I'll add Addie to the reasons why I'm feeling cold 'cause I will do anything to feel like I am at home
Administrators tryna keep us controlled
And tryna fight it off has taken it's toll
So here I am in class sitting silently with so much anxiety sobriety's...
Fuck, I don't know
Maybe I'd be smiling without their shit down my throat
Maybe I'd be okay with the fact I am alone if they told me something real like
"One day, you'll be gone so get your shit together you don't have to come today
Couldn't tell you anything useful anyway
And if you've got a J, then shit, let's blaze and we'll discuss why school spirit went away

[Outro]
But they keep on chanting
"Put your ID on, tuck your shirt in, put your headphones away, and have a nice day
Put your ID on, tuck your shirt in, put your headphones away, and have a nice day
Put your ID on, tuck your shirt in, put your headphones away, and have a nice day
Put your ID on, tuck your shirt in, put your headphones away, and have a nice..."

[The school bell rings for dismissal and BRAYDEN calls THE GIRL (now in reality).]

[BRAYDEN]
Hey, would you mind giving me a ride home?

[THE GIRL]
Yeah, of course

[BRAYDEN]
Thank you! I'll be right out

[He walks outside and waits for her car.]
