200
I was only fifteen, I started off, docking off, locking out
Breaking all the rules
Got a warning my final calling, that I was dropping out
I was shutting out at home
I felt the tension, started ditching, was missing out
Knowledge I needed time on my own
I was joking it, rocking it, cleaning out, flunking it
I was not focused, neglected my purpose, failing life started to surface
Mom had me see a psychiatrist, who measured my tolerance
Being distraught, finding out, had a run down, clocking out
I neglected to pay attention, I was slipping, was misrepresenting
Had I paid attention, dissing my Mom was not cool
Facing getting locked in detention, opportunity school or maybe mental prison
Facing the reality of failing of making it, chasing it, taking it
Would have me going places, being famous, making a difference
Was the sacrifice I had to follow, I felt in sorrow, I needed to borrow
Education was my calling, the valuable lesson I had to learn
