School Lyrics
[Chorus]
No new shoes to buy ’round February, when mama tears’d drop
I was outside shooting crowds, trying (??) the folk for a new Glock
2016, ‘member 12 had hit the spot, had everybody jumping gates
That s*it wasn’t nothing, I was already thugging, when he ain’t tried shut down a n!gga block (It’s Kaoticcc on the beat, you better walk ’em down)
Same n!ggas I used to sleep on the floor with tryna play like I’m the one that changed
My heart so deep in this s*it, if it don’t work, then I’m dying with the gang
They don’t love me, I don’t give a fu*k ’bout the gang
Give a chance, y’all thug me quick
I’m a gangster, I’m dying with my blick, alone
I’m going out blowing my chrome
I’m going out busting this b!tch, for sure
With confidence gave you my heart, now it broke
Had to see so much s*it, I know how it be
It be me on the inside hoping (??)
My mama (??) on the dome
And my dad (??) on the ‘Cat
I can tell what you want, I had seen it before, I ain’t mad, but why lead me on like that?
Why tell you love me? You know it ain’t facts
Why you tell me you love? You know it ain’t true, uh
That’s what you lil’ b!tches do, huh? (Take yo’ heart, n!gga, screw her)
(??) I’m tryna tell you something
I’m putting it down, clown, ’cause I know you don’t know enough
I know you ain’t ride ’round in a spaceship with your pockets stuffed
But it’s so much come with this s*it, a gold heart just ain’t good enough
Street-smarts can make you a scholar, but book-smarts can’t make you a thug
School can’t put it in you to make you kill, clutch guns, do these drügs
[Verse]
This s*it come from pain and passion
(??) need the love
Fu*k you, b!tch, I don’t need no hug
RIP Scooter, b!tch, tell me to bust this jugg
Tell you to make this play, you won’t judge, just throw me the key, hop in
If you saying I keep it on foot, now I’m finna drop you off ‘fore I go spin
That’s only ’cause I love you, the ho don’t know I mean it
Soul bleed and I don’t need it, know for you, bae, I’m fiending
Know you need it all, for that bag, I be scheming, just for you
On all these n!ggas, I’ve been breathing, just for you
[Chorus]
No new shoes to buy ’round February, when mama tears’d drop
I was outside shooting crowds, trying (??) the folk for a new Glock
2016, ‘member 12 had hit the spot, had everybody jumping gates
That s*it wasn’t nothing, I was already thugging, when he ain’t tried shut down a n!gga block
Same n!ggas I used to sleep on the floor with tryna play like I’m the one that changed
My heart so deep in this s*it, if it don’t work, then I’m dying with the gang
They don’t love me, I don’t give a fu*k about the gang
Give a chance, y’all thug me quick
I’m a gangster, I’m dying with my blick, alone
I’m going out blowing my chrome
I’m going out busting this b!tch, for sure
With confidence, gave you my heart, now it broke
Had to see so much s*it, I know how it be

School Lyrics Meaning
[Chorus]
The artist starts off by painting a picture of real struggle—he couldn’t even get new shoes in February, and his mom was crying, probably from stress or heartbreak over their situation. While some kids were in school or playing, he was outside in the streets, caught up in violence and trying to hustle just to get a gun. He remembers 2016 when the cops raided their spot, and people were jumping fences to get away. But to him, that chaos wasn’t new. He was already knee-deep in the street life before any of that happened. He calls out people he used to be close to, the same ones he shared floors with, for now acting like he’s the one who switched up. He explains how loyal he’s been, saying his heart is fully in this lifestyle—even if it leads to death. If it all falls apart, he’s ready to go out with his gang, or even by himself, with his gun in hand.
He’s not pretending to be something he’s not. He feels betrayed by people around him—by the streets, by his own gang, and by someone he gave his heart to. He trusted someone deeply, only to end up heartbroken. He’s had to witness too much pain too early, and now he hides how he feels, trying to stay tough. He talks about his mom and dad, but the details feel blurry, like they’re distant or out of reach, either physically or emotionally. He can read people well now; he’s seen the same kind of fake love before, so he’s not even mad, just disappointed. He’s been hurt enough times to know when someone’s playing him.
He throws shade at girls who mess with people’s hearts and pretend to care. He tries to school someone who clearly doesn’t understand the street life—like they don’t know what it really takes to live like this. Flashy stuff and a kind heart don’t cut it in his world. Being smart from books won’t save you in the streets. You’ve got to have real-life instincts, survival skills, and sometimes, the ability to do things that school would never teach. That last line drives it home: school can’t teach you how to survive in his reality.
[Verse]
He’s saying that everything he’s doing, all the pain and wild choices, come from deep passion and emotional scars. He doesn’t want fake love or pity—he’s too used to dealing with pain by himself. He gives a shoutout to someone named Scooter, someone he probably looked up to or lost. When he’s got someone real by his side, they don’t judge him for the things he has to do—they just roll with him. He’s about to do something dangerous, and he’s dropping this person off first, which shows he cares for their safety. He’s got feelings for them but struggles to show it in a soft way. Instead, he works and schemes for money just to support them. Every move he’s making, even when it’s dark or risky, is for this person. He’s basically saying he’s living and breathing for them, even if he can’t say it the usual way.
[Chorus]
He brings us right back to that childhood struggle—February comes, and he still can’t afford new shoes. His mom is hurting, crying, and he’s outside caught in violence, doing what he thinks he has to just to survive or get a new gun. In 2016, when the cops raided their hangout spot, people were running, but he was used to this life already. None of it was new to him. He remembers those days when he had nothing and had to sleep on floors with his homies, but now those same guys act like he’s the one who changed. That hits him deep because he’s still riding for them, still loyal, and if everything crashes down, he’s going out with the same people—or alone if he has to. He’s ready to die with his gun in hand, and it’s not just tough talk—he truly feels like it’s him against the world.
Then he gets personal again. He trusted someone, gave them his heart with full confidence, but they ended up hurting him. He’s seen and felt way too much pain and now keeps his feelings locked inside. He mentions his mom and dad again, hinting that there’s distance or damage in those relationships too. He knows when someone’s playing games, and even if he sees it coming, it still hurts. He doesn’t understand why people act like they love him when it’s all fake. That’s what really messes with his head.
He calls out the kind of girls who act like they care just to leave someone broken. Then he starts preaching a bit—like he’s telling people that they don’t know what it really takes to survive where he comes from. He’s seen people with gold hearts still get crushed. You can’t be soft out here. He’s saying that being smart in school is cool, but it won’t prepare you for a life where you might have to fight, carry weapons, or turn to drügs just to cope or survive. The streets teach a whole different kind of lesson.
[Outro]
This is a shout to the producer, hyping up the beat and giving a warning to stay ready and aggressive.
