The Academy Lyrics by John River

The Academy

2019

[Verse 1]
If doubt is alive, he'll be dead soon
When you gonna blow? It's July but I said June
I'm in the C5 with the leg room
That's a lie I'm coming live from my bedroom nigga
Say what up to the roaches
Nightly practice on my mattress say what up to the coaches
With this rapping, me, myself and I and Phil Jackson
My niggas that were killing figured I would kill rapping
Being broke kills passion nigga
They said I wouldn't blow it still happened nigga
Life threw me a pitch shit there it goes
Cut the bullshit picture get Derrick Rose
Rich niggas had whips used to stare at those
Whеn my niggas stole whips I would stare like oh shit
Madе new friends when you said not higher
When you see a new Benz we just thinking hot-wire
Hood niggas fuck with me cuz my shit is hot fire
I'm the truth
Call me anything but not liar
So please. Have some respect my g
You might have no clout but you should check mine please
Probably best that I bet on me, wouldn't you?
My bucket list is every fucking thing they said I couldn't do
20 verses every week, I know probably too much
Course I knew I'd pass these niggas, why? They party too much nigga
[Chorus]
I said they party too much nigga, yea I said they party too much
I said yea nigga yea, yea It's the Academy nigga yea
Cuz something in my heart, Something in my heart
I would...
[Verse 2]
Never lie I paint the pictures that I know
See through from my eyes painting pictures of The Row
Of the bitches that I know when I go back home
Locked away the whole summer, told my niggas call the plumber
Cause this shit is going to blow, gotta figure out how
Told my momma that I’d move her, gotta get her out now
I was pressed; door-to-door sales had me stressed
So embarrassed when a nigga a saw his cheque?
I couldn’t read the figure out loud, it was low my nigga
Could I sell a furnace well? Hell no my nigga
So bitter, like Fuck that job I’mma quit it
Came back the next day cause my momma got evicted
Knock knock, let’s act like this uniforms not hot
In the back of mind fighting the thoughts that would not stop Like I would not pop, even worse pop sorta
Can’t believe they had a nigga like me in pop warner
I had dreams of wearing’s Kanye’s polo to work
And not charging a hundred dollars for a hole in a shirt
You had plans to be the man? I put a hole in it first
I’m fucking sick, suck my dick you couldn’t hold in the girth
I say less than Gregg Popopvich say, if this was opposite day Guess you the best, and you know I’m the worst
You not a bitch or a hoe in a skirt, holding a purse
You the gift I’m the curse and we can act like you
Finished in first nigga and I didn’t stun rap
I’m Nas Pac Em Jay and Big in one pack
In one rapper, Lupe fiasco on crack
You know before a nigga went Samurai Jack
I don’t stammer I rap, the kindle flared well
Shit it is looking like wrap time to bid ya farewell
I’m headed to top for a while, fuck a visit
Just incase them niggas missed it
You can tell them that you witnessed the Academy nigga
