[Verse 1] Missed roll call Hit coin toss Hoodie up Math on loss Graph paper Full of charts Lunch money Turned to parts Prepaid flip On late night vids “Get rich quick” Yeah I did While they chased Perfect grades I chased green Different shades (uh) [Chorus] I ain’t wait for caps and gowns I was up They powered down Stackin’ up before the bell rang out (way before, way before) Did the numbers on my own Turned that side quest to a throne Did the homework out in real-time zones I was paid before I was grown [Verse 2] Civics class Talked “systems ” “rights” I learned rules Reading terms all night They read books On old rich kings I read charts On new age things Guidance said “College Son” I just smiled Already won Back row kid With the quiet flex Peer-reviewed? I just peer-checked checks (hey) [Chorus] I ain’t wait for caps and gowns I was up They powered down Stackin’ up before the bell rang out (way before, way before) Did the numbers on my own Turned that side quest to a throne Did the homework out in real-time zones I was paid before I was grown [Bridge] They taught “future” like a script I read futures in the dips Skipped the lecture Kept the gist “You’ll learn later” — I insist ‘Cause I been early That’s my thing Beat the buzzer Beat the ring Every syllabus they bring Just another line item in the king’s quick wins (yeah) [Chorus] I ain’t wait for caps and gowns I was up They powered down Stackin’ up before the bell rang out (way before, way before) Did the numbers on my own Turned that side quest to a throne Did the homework out in real-time zones I was paid before I was grown
