sharod - school'n (put your mind to the message) lyrics

[verse 1]
listen everybody and those in school
i’m throwing down a serious rap for you
about using your mind along with the books
learning everything you can, don’t be no crook
just go ahead and take your time
it’s easy as saying this nursery rhyme
it goes humpty dumpty sat on the wall
humpty took a great big fall
humpty should have been in school
then he wouldn’t have been such a doggone fool
listen to me and hear what i say
’cause i’ve been there and it’s that way
walking down the hall on my way to cl-ss
i was thinkin’ ’bout the test i had to p-ss
along comes a teacher and she says to me
take this advice, it’s absolutely free
when taking a test you have to p-ss
don’t rush, hurry, or go too fast
if you have no answer then p-ss it by
come back later and give it a try
well i took her advice and it was plain to see
that what she said was right for me
they gave out the marks, i could hardly wait
on the top of my test was a 98
i learned my lesson that very day
i remember what the teachers had to say
so i put it to music and it’s just for you
i hope you can benefit from it too

[chorus]
you go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
you go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

you go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
you go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

[verse 2]
you know school’s the place to go and learn
when you get out a diploma you earn
school’s no place to joke and play
it’s the place to go and put the knowledge away
there’s math, science, abc
if you’re going to college you can earn a degree
like going to gym, doing exercise
the muscles in the body just come alive
like going to math, learning how to count
puttin’ 2 and 2 together for this amount
it’s history where you learn the past
listen to the teacher, you can learn it fast
like going to english, learning how to speak
put the words to the music and rapping to the beat
if dr. j didn’t stay in school
he may not have such pretty moves
if abdul-jabbar didn’t study the books
he may not be able to make a skyhook
sure magic johnson, he’s makin’ the cash
but it didn’t come easy, he had tests to p-ss
you and your homie walkin’ down the street
up popped two ladies you’d love to meet
one has the money, the other has a car
you don’t have nothin’, don’t get very far
talkin’ to the ladies tryin’ to pop your game
she says “how you gonna sound with nothin’ in your brain?
we don’t want a man who’s goin’ nowhere
get yourself together, show us that you care”
school’s the place to learn what you can
when you get finished you’re a better man
it’s the place to go and learn what you like
lady, your diploma will be out of sight
don’t clown or jive with other cl-ssmates
just raise you hands and partic-p-te
there’s english, music, learn a trade
you can be what you want, layin’ in the shade

[chorus]
you go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
you go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

[interlude]
go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

raise your hands, go ’round and ’round
now you got ’em up so party down

eek eek to the beat (eek! eek!)
you got the groove, i know you could
now party down like you know you should

go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

[verse 3]
school will be out in a little while
you’ll be thinkin’ ’bout the number one final get-down
[?] on your way to the prom
ridin’ in a cadillac, your lady on your arm
feeling pretty good like you know you should
you got your diploma and you know you could
so you dance and party, you’re doin’ fine
put your body to the music, it’s party time

[chorus]
you go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
you go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

[verse 4]
listen to the rap, hear what i say
’cause i’ve been there and it’s that way
you may be goin’ for a phd or maybe just a ged
school’s no place to go and play
it’s the place to go and put the knowledge away
put it away up in your mind
’cause you may need it later in time
i’m talkin’ to the girl in the jheri girl
i’m talkin’ to the guy in the def sky
i’m talkin’ to the kid out on the street
i’m talkin’ to the people who keep this beat
keep your mind on the books
learn what you can, don’t be no crook
all you got to do is take some time
it’s easy as poppin’ this nursery rhyme
it goes jack and jill went up the hill to get that pail of water
well jack fell down, he broke his crown, then jill came tumblin’ after
now both of them should have been in school and not up on the hill
when you’re in cl-ss it’s time to learn and not a time to chill

[outro]
so go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one

go back and forth then forth and back
put your body to the music, don’t take no slack
go back and forth then have big fun
put your mind to the message, it’s on the one
