Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Now normally if I can help)
(But I don't spend a lot of time in a principle's office)
[Verse 2]
(What? Nine o'clock)
Now, as I get to school, I hear the late bell ringing
Running through the hall I hear the glee club singing
Get to the office, I can hardly speak
'Cause this the third late pass that I got this week
[Verse 3]
So to my first class, I run and don't walk
All I hear in my sneakers and the scratching of chalk
And when I get to the room, I hear the teacher say
Mr. Young, I'm happy that you could join us today
[Verse 4]
I try to sit down so I can take some notes
But I can't read what the kid next to me wrote
And if that wasn't enough to make my morning complete
As I try to get up, I find there's gum on my seat
[Verse 5]
And with the seat stuck to me, I raise my hand
And say, excuse me, but can I go to the bathroom, ma'am?
The teach got upset and she screamed out, no
It's off to the principle's office you go
[Verse 6]
Twelve o'clock comes with mass hysteria
Everybody rushes down to the cafeteria
Picked up my tray to have Thursday's lunch
And when I tried the applesauce, I heard a crunch
[Verse 7]
I'm running up the stairs with a front tooth broken
The nurse just laughed and said, you must be joking
I looked up at her with a smile on my face
No joke 'cause my front tooth is out of place
[Verse 8]
So, I walked through school with ice on my lip
A nurse's late pass like a gun on my hip
My books are real heavy, I walk and I'm dragging it
No school lunch next week, I'm brown bagging it
[Verse 9]
Forget class, I'ma shoot some ball
With a late pass I got no trouble at all
But then the nurse walks up and says, what do you know
It's off to the principle's office you go
[Verse 10]
Recess
[Verse 11]
Passing notes is my favorite pastime
I can't wait to find a girl to pass mine to
To express my feeling
Give me a week, me and the girl will be dealing
[Verse 12]
Now ,one young lady was looking at me
I said, hi, my name is Marvin, known as Young MC
But then the bell rang and the teacher came in
And that's when the game of passing notes would begin
[Verse 13]
I wrote the first note, told her she was fine
And I hoped that the two of us could spend some time
She wrote me back and told me, you're fine too
I'd love to go on a date and spend some time with you
[Verse 14]
So, then I sat there reeling and looking at the ceiling
Words can't express the way that I was feeling
Then I thought to myself the sure way to get her
Is to write another note, oh yes, a love letter
[Verse 15]
When I finished the note, it was ready to pass
The teacher took it and read it right in front of the class
She read it word by word and line by line
And everybody who was laughing was a friend of mine
[Verse 16]
Even my girl was laughing, it was too late
For me to write another note 'cause there would be no date
The teacher looked at me and I said, I know
It's off to the principle's office I go
[Verse 17]
Yo, you think this is bad, wait till I get my report card
