[Verse 1] My name is Stonie D, let me tell you a story straight out the box from the gangsta category. All my homeboys they like school when they get out, they still be cool, My homeboys and I don't want to see you as a fool just dropping out of school, I'm not just saying this to get paid in full [Hook] Stay in school, keep your head up high Build your own road, reach for the sky Stay in school, let your future unfold Knowledge in your hands is worth more than gold [Verse 2] Books on the desk, plans in the mind Every lesson that you learn can help you shine Don't let a hard day make you turn away Take one more step, make a stronger day Friends by your side, keeping each other true A better tomorrow starts with what you do No quick promise, no empty thrill Plant your future now with an iron will [Hook] Stay in school, keep your head up high Build your own road, reach for the sky Stay in school, let your future unfold Knowledge in your hands is worth more than gold [Outro] This is Stonie D, and the message stands still Choose your own path, build your own will Keep learning, keep moving, make your dreams real I'm not just saying this to get paid in full
