II'm up early in the morning, breath stinkin' as I'm yawning
just another sunny day in PA
got my mind focused on a lesson i'm gonna bring to the brethren
cause the kids be forgetting these days
I think I'll start small, with a little writing, then move to typing
try to make it exciting, I then
hop out the bed with a smile on
stretch, put my eyes on, turn the laptop power on
got an email saying I got 3 sales
all in Japan, I'll spare you the details
hit the shower singing new raps I penned
put on my shirt, tie and slacks I been
saving for a special occasion, the first day
grab a banana, starving in the worst way
driving to school, bumping sports talk
they're mad at Cole cause he gave up four walks
stop at the Sev for a coffee and a donut
see a young boy talking loud to the grownups
they all discussing these fads and such
complaining how these kids can't pull their pants up
he obliges when he asks him
but he leaves the store and they're right back sagging
in 20 minutes that bell's gonna ring
first day of school time to do - my - thing

It's nice to meet ya, I'm gonna be your teacher this year
everybody in the room put a hand up
wave it around like you know the answer
it's nice to meet ya, we're gonna have some fun this year
Everybody play your part, allow me to welcome y'all
To language arts (2x)

First off I'm Mr. J, I been teaching five years
And in my spare time I hold a nice career
I make music, but not just any kind
I'm a poet who combines, rhythm and rhyme
And in most circles that'll make me a rapper
I don't call myself that, It's not what I'm after
So don't ask for my super dope ride
cause I'm pushing the black Kia right outside
I don't like jewelry so ain't no bling
If you wanna hear a sample- ain't no thing
Show me a spelling word, I'll put it into a rhyme
but you gotta work for that, this ain't the time
And I don't wanna hear how your dog ate your homework
Couldn't find your shirt, PC won't work
I look you in the eye and make you a promise
I'm always fair, and always honest...

It's nice to meet ya, I'm gonna be your teacher this year
everybody in the room put a hand up
wave it around like you know the answer
it's nice to meet ya, we're gonna have some fun this year
Everybody play your part, allow me to welcome y'all
