Lyrics
“LIFE 101”
Baijeu! This is not a test! This is not a drill!
Ricky learned guitar on a hand-me-down
(A Thinline) Same one his granddaddy use to play
Who said, “Son, with practice comes perfection
You can be a leader of a band one day”
Ava took a chance on a midnight train
(Brought back) Something that her big sister use to say
She said, “Child, you can change your location
Doesn’t mean your problems will go away”
Life 101 – Lessons that we never learned in school
Life 101 – Separates the wise man from the fool
Life 101 – Tell me are you gonna take your fill?
Life 101 – This is not a test, it’s not a drill
Willie took a bride late in the game
Trying to play the role of a married man
Six months later there were grounds for separation
That wasn’t part of his retirement plan
Jackie took a man home every now and then
Partied - Had to keep her bed from getting cold
One time too many she did not use protection
Now she has a kid that’s 10 months old (Too cold)
Life 101 – Just bare essentials we need to know
Life 101 – Because we reap the seeds we sow
Life 101 – Memorize the rules if you want to play
Life 101 – You’ll be learning something everyday!
Keep the faith and you’ll make it!
Another dollar and another day!
Life 101 – Please don’t be late, don’t miss your class
Life 101 – Better study up if you wanna pass
Life 101 – Believe there’s a way if there’s a will
Life 101 – This is not a test, this is not a drill!
