Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Small talk, small folk, converse, tell joke
Tell it like it aint
make it, make out, pull through, fall out
Take it round again
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Small talk, small folk, converse, tell joke
Tell it like it aint
make it, make out, pull through, fall out
Take it round again
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
