Now hear this

"What did you learn at school today?"

That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they

Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life


"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know
Don't understand, do they
Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young

Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams
Man they couldn't save me

Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
Teenage kicks running out what could we do
I still show respect to my boys who made it through

And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal
So everyone could see

Sunshine and shade
Those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave

Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new
Just friends running together

But suddenly school ends
Your teenage life gone
All your mates are growing up now

They're moving on
And now I'm looking back
I'll tell you what I know

Do you listen to your teacher?
No I don't think so


"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know

Don't understand
Do they
Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life


And if you give the kids time, together they will shine
Ooh ooh ooh shine
Now if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime

Won't do the crime

Now my bad old ways

Were during my school days
Messing on those grade A's
My life is just a haze

I'm going through the struggle
Five ten and kicking back
So I could lock my flow

Lace it up now on the track
Oh yeh I felt the pain
Whilst chasing all the fame

I'm being told I'm nothing
Just a player in the game
But now I walk tall

Stand proud for you to see
I'm driving these fast cars
It's five stars for me


"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know
Don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
