September 9th by Elgin Ecyoj Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2021

School on a Friday
5 in the morning

As I awake, smile on my face
As the clock alarmin', this

Day must be great before Saturday, and if not show warnings
That's all I ask from the universe, cause these times concerning

Mom and Unc bumping heads from
Financial circumstances
For about 3 weeks now and I have no understanding

Of anything that could lead to the way they are now
It's best I don't know anything, walking down to my bus route

Gotta poke my chest out as I'm walking down the bus aisle
Ain't no fucking better time round, like my birthday, I'm the man now

Pulled up to the drop off, pick up where I stand out
Cause my born day is tomorrow when it hit twelve Imma howl loud
Hands down, best day, at school that I've had in a minute
Every assignment that they would hand me, I never finished

Half assing, still passing but dawg I'm winning
F*ck Givin' an effort in class I'm a hooper dawg I'm livin'

First day of conditioning was yesterday
My arms and legs in pain from intensive grind, for tremendous gain

Hella adrenaline off excitement run through these veins
This school where Imma stay far as I'm concerned in my freshman brain

9th grader at morrow high next to morrow middle
Tall youngin, know it all, only knew a little

Using every piece of knowledge to solve this riddle
Ain't no time to fiddle with thumbs, on the task it's way too simple

Go to school, do work that'll never benefit
The future that's in store, this paperwork is irrelevant

If I could press the issue I had with that which I truly did
Prolly would've hopped on the intercom to announce the shit

Received a text from my Moms, read
"Don't ride on the bus, me and auntie gon pick you up
Throw that bag of books in the trunk"
Skrtt'd off the lot to go pick up the lil homies
Pulled up to the elementary parking spot
All the sudden

Aunt Kia hopped out, left me and mom inside for discussion

Ma looked at me and said baby "Your involvement in this is nothing
Look"

We can't go back home
Cause the lights ain't on, and the Household broke, apart this lovely soul

I shouted no, cause we've come so far, met so many folks
Built a bond with shawty that I would hold

That was just the start, of something I knew would
Top charts

Just got cool with coach, He didn't know that I would depart
The day before my birthday told my friends, caught them off guard
This speed bump caused a shift in my life

Packed our bags moved back to dekalb
I can't forget September 9th

Packed our bags moved back to dekalb
I can't forget September 9th
