[Intro]
(No cuttin' corners, she's on the border now)

[Verse 1]
Hello everybody long time no hear from
Lammy on the strum, Parappa on the drum
Here I come, 'bout to wrap up things
That's right, not things that bump in the night
I stay away from fights, I'm kind of scared of the dark
So sometimes I need a night light
Everything will be okay, as long as I got Pops I'll be okay
Stay wide I'll be okay
A young pup never touch the wrong cup
Alcohol will turn you into a dumb pup
I study hard, even though I need some play time after ABC's
Then I'll say rhymes
Of course at the green, not in between
Of course at the corner, or you'll be a goner
Never talk disrespect to your elders
And never play with matches 'cause that's for the welders

[Pre-Chorus]
Always stay in school
Whoever said drugs were cool?
Don't take short cuts in life
Before you make a move, think twice
Always give thanks for the things you have
Try to talk it out if you're mad
Think positive, learn the ways
[Chorus]
No cuttin' corners
Stay in school, don't be a fool
No cuttin' corners
Yeah, boy
No cuttin' corners, yo
Stay in school, don't be a fool
No cuttin' corners
Always listen to Mom and Dad

[Verse 2]
Who said, that drugs were cool?
Get away thugs, stop sellin' at my school
Life decisions are hard enough to make
Like which flavor I want my birthday cake
Or which shoe, goes right or left
Don't like to fight with cigarettes on my breath
I'm into kid things like playing PlayStation
Need to grow enough to save our nation
Playing freeze tag 'till the school bell rings
Don't wanna get hurt over name brand things
Extra credit never hurt nobody
No drugs and alcohol necessary at our party
Only thing I shoot is hoops in basketball
I'm asking you all, if we're the future
Why you wanna shoot us? It seems kind of ludicrous
Why you doin' this
A new word I learned in the spelling bee
Homework done daily, pops been yelling at me
Even though I do tours
I do chores stand on my own two, even though I got four paws
[Pre-Chorus]
Always stay in school
Whoever said drugs were cool?
Don't take short cuts in life
Before you make a move, always think twice
Always listen to Mom and Dad
Always give thanks for the things you have
Try to talk it out if you're mad
And think positive, even when you're sad

[Chorus]
No cuttin' corners
Stay in school, don't be a fool
No cuttin' corners
Learn the ways
No cuttin' corners
Stay in school, don't be a fool
No cuttin' corners
Yeah, boy
No cuttin' corners, yo
Stay in school, don't be a fool
No cuttin' corners
Always listen to Mom and Dad
No cuttin' corners
Even if you're mad, think positive
No cuttin' corners
No cuttin' corners, we don't cut corners
[Outro]
Before I go I'd like to say a shoutout to my man, Rodney Greenblat, I'd like to give a shoutout to everybody at Sony
That's Parappa the Rapper, [?]
And remember, always do your homework, always do your chores
