เพลง I Ain't Making It

I Ain't Making It - Stetsasonic

Agitated strung out underrated

Limited and boy do I hate it

Dead end stops and my life is in park

So I hit the alleyway after dark

Got school tomorrow but what the hell

I'm leaving school when I hear the lunch bell

I'm not asking for time off I'm taking it

F**k school 'cause I ain't making it

Making it making it

Making it making it

Making it making it

School a place I don't really want to be in

The day I say I give up that's my reason

Yet I'm undetermined to continue with my studies

Laws that confuse so I chill with my buddies

They draw power down no one to date

Suicide on my mind as I resort to escape

My ups and downs and my highs that you me-mellow

Born to suffer living in the ghetto zone

Criminal criminal criminal

Well not exactly

I'm just being what I think I have to be

When people tell me about getting grades up

My reply am I getting paid or what

See seriously I need security

More security than any school can be

And on the street I put a whole d**n stake in it

But f**k school 'cause school ain't making it making it making it

I had to fight yesterday in the school auditorium

Some dude he said that I was pushing him

He made a big fuss I had to bum rush

When it was over my man had his face butt

See I don't play that s**t I'm on the deep end

You want trouble just tell me when friend

Success I ain't contemplating it

The way I see it I ain't making it

Right in the morning my alarm awakes me

My moms won't 'cause the b***h she hates me

Failing all my classes I don't give a d**n

Half of the teachers I can't even stand

Never made first period for one year straight

Forget a diploma it's education that I hate

I feel like grabbing my books and just draping it

'Cause the way I feel I ain't making it

Making it making it

I got a letter today from the principal

Said I still had a chance to make my life chill

I might try it it might be cool

Flip the feeling around make something good out of school

But on the backup tip I still have the streets

That's if the streets will still have me

And if not no need in faking it

Point blank I ain't making it making it making it

Making it making it
