[Verse 1] They call me the professor I grade by the bag White chalk on the table Zip ties in the tag I learned the hard way Street got no tutor Cold look in my eye Big step, no rumor I seen the short line Turn long by the door I seen a man fold Tryin' to eat off the floor I keep my notes neat I move real measured One wrong move And the whole game pressure [Pre-Chorus] Hands shake, phone buzz I don't miss calls Ten toes down While the whole block falls I don't talk big I just make it show When I say "move" They already know [Chorus] They call me the professor I teach, then I collect They call me the professor I don't take no disrespect They call me the professor Got the class in line They call me the professor And I run my time [Verse 2] Fresh clean pack Got the room too still One look from me Make a grown man chill I don't need flash I don't need that talk I let the money stack Then I let it walk Late-night math With a cold hard stare Name ring once Then it vanish in air I keep my circle small Like a locked back door If you know, you know I don't say much more [Pre-Chorus] Hands shake, phone buzz I don't miss calls Ten toes down While the whole block falls I don't talk big I just make it show When I say "move" They already know [Chorus] They call me the professor I teach, then I collect They call me the professor I don't take no disrespect They call me the professor Got the class in line They call me the professor And I run my time [Bridge] No fake lesson No paper crown I built this name From the ground up now You can watch me work You can bite that line But the real ones know I been ahead of time [Chorus] They call me the professor I teach, then I collect They call me the professor I don't take no disrespect They call me the professor Got the class in line They call me the professor And I run my time
