Song lyrics

[Intro:]
Little girl,
A ha ha ha ha,
Please, stop your crying.

[Chorus:]
I'll be late for that, baby, I'll wait for that,
If you had a taste of that, you'd probably pay for that,
I'm comin' in when I feel like,
So turn this mothafucka up only if it feels right.
I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that,
I think I was made for that,
So I'm comin' in when I feel like,
So turn this mothafucka up only if it feels right.

[Verse 1:]
Stop all your blood clot cryin', I was flyin',
Made it to school with barely nuff time to sign in.
Yeah, I hear the alarm, yeah, I hear ya, mom,
Yeah, yeah, I don't wan' be broke when I'm thirty-one.
They said, the best classes go to the fastest,
Sorry, Mr. West, there's no good classes, and that's what yo ass get.
Not even electives? Not even prerequits?
You mean I missed my major by a couple of seconds?
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket weavin'
With all the rest of the mothafuckas underachievin'.
Man, this is an insult,
I went to junior high with all of them, and they been slow.
If I can catch the beat, then slow down the tempo,
Just throw this at the end if I'm too late for the intro.
Will I make it from the student loans to a Benz-o?
Like old folks pissin', I guess it all depends, oh, oh!
Stop your cryin', baby.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
You know when you be late you miss all the lights,
That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.
And when you get back she gon' start up a fight,
That night, that night, that night.
Baby, it's too late for that, lately I've been takin' it slow,
Try and make it to the party ‘fore the guest list close
With the freshest hoes. The professors know
We about to get real unprofessional.
Like them Eskimos, what would you do for a Klondike,
Or two dykes that look Christina-Milian-like?
Hmm, I'll be on time for that,
I ain't thought of no line that could rhyme with that.
Yo, I'll be there in five minutes, five hours later,
I'll be there in five minutes, go ‘head ride with it.
I'm so live with it, look how I did it,
Been bullshittin' but I finally arrived with it,
I know it's late and I took all year but
You can stop complainin' ‘cause I'm finally here, yeah!
