What does the world look like from the mind of a young 17 year old, if he grew up where I grew up, maybe these scenes might have occured?


Only for the cool
***********************
Boy get up
It's sunday, morning
Don't cha got to be
In sunday school
Your hoodlum friends
Are outside waiting
Yo' mama's downstairs callin you

Partied last night
Boy the place was jumpin'
Some pretty girl
Said you were smooth
Look at the time
You'd better get it started
If you could only find your shoes

(Chorus)
Monday's wait for Sunday morning
Wednesday's ok that Tuesdays soon
Thursdays arrive just before Friday
But saturday ...
Is only for the cool
Only for the cool

Boy keep your elbows
Off the table
An'you better come home
Right straight from school
Why don'tcha' find a job
Ain'tcha' able
An' what's this ..
You say ...
Saturday is ...
Only for the cool
Only for the cool

Boy get up
It's sunday, morning
Who do you think you are
You know the rules
Is that your hoodlum friends
Out there waiting
Yo' mama's downstairs callin' you

You stayed out last night
Boy the place was jumpin'
Some pretty girl
Said you were smooth
Can't find your phone
Did you get her number
What did the dog
Do with your shoes

(Chorus)
Monday's ok on Sunday morning
Tuesdays arrive but Wednesday's soon
You chill on Thursday's
An'get paid on Friday
But Saturday ...
Is only for the cool
Only for the cool
