Lyrics written by M^SK © 2025 M^SK. All rights reserved. Too big for the desk, too loud for the halls, Too fast for the rules, never follow protocol. They told me “sit still,” but I couldn’t comply, Had a mind too wide, had my head in the sky. I was sketchin’ my name in the back of the book, While the teacher was talkin’, never gave ‘em a look. Said I’d never make it, I was bound to fall, But look who’s standin’ too tall for the walls! [Verse 1] Pen in my hand, doodles on the page, Turned every math test into center stage. Numbers and fractions? Nah, not for me, I was buildin’ whole worlds where I wanted to be. English class, I had love for the words, But they wanted essays, not stories unheard. Miss Chambers told me, “Write it right,” I said, “Why?” Tried to box up my thoughts, but my mind wouldn’t lie. Too many thoughts, too many dreams, Got lost in the stories, got lost in the scenes. While they learned how to follow, I learned how to lead, Turned my scribbles to visions, turned the visions to speed. [Chorus] Too big for the desk, too loud for the halls, Too fast for the rules, never follow protocol. They told me “sit still,” but I couldn’t comply, Had a mind too wide, had my head in the sky. I was sketchin’ my name in the back of the book, While the teacher was talkin’, never gave ‘em a look. Said I’d never make it, I was bound to fall, But look who’s standin’ too tall for the walls! [Verse 2] They said “focus up,” I said “focus on what?” Only thing that I cared for was drawin’ too much. History class? Turned the king to a beast, Drew a dragon in the margins, gave it gold-plated teeth. Science? Yeah, I blew up that test, Didn’t need no equation, just a brain that’s too fresh. Too many facts, not enough feel, They wanted straight lines, I was spinnin’ the wheel. Teacher said, “Boy, pull your socks up today!” So I bent down, yanked ‘em right up all the way. “Figure of speech,” she yelled, face turnin’ red, Never got metaphors, but sarcasm? That, I bred. Maybe too much, yeah, maybe at times, I had jokes for days, got detention for lines. They said, “One day, boy, you’re gonna regret,” But last time I checked, I ain’t stopped laughin’ yet! [Bridge] Yeah, they told me “stop dreamin’,” but I couldn’t stop, Had a world in my mind, had the key to the lock. They said, “Do what you’re told,” but that ain’t my way, Took my childhood chaos, now I’m gettin’ paid. [Chorus] Too big for the desk, too loud for the halls, Too fast for the rules, never follow protocol. They told me “sit still,” but I couldn’t comply, Had a mind too wide, had my head in the sky. I was sketchin’ my name in the back of the book, While the teacher was talkin’, never gave ‘em a look. Said I’d never make it, I was bound to fall, But look who’s standin’ too tall for the walls!
