lyrics

[Intro]
Jet 2, haha
Ay, T.I., I had to buy this instrumental CD man
T.I. Vs. TIP was crazy

[Verse 1]
But I just wanna shout out to my class of '08
'Cause I feel I haven't talked about y'all the whole day
And I feel it was an honor, please take this as a compliment
I mean, who ever could forget crazy Donovan
And to Shara Smith, girl you're always my conglomerate
Max kept them grades, boy you always were on top of it
And Mr. Franklin, Johnathan Franklin
Words just can't explain how much I thank him
You always had faith in me, I forever have faith in you
Amongst DDP, you were the most inspirational to me
Adam Hogan caught the touchdown to the first one I ever threw
I love you bro, the future's bright ahead of you
So just go and get it, to
Ms. Le'Shaunte Logan
Girl, you're so hilarious you always had me rollin'
Oh, and I can't forget about Kejuantae Beckwith
He called himself a wack rapper, but he's been the best yet
To me, 'cause he never let anybody tell him otherwise
He followed his heart, he never followed them other guys
And my boy Irin, I'm so surprised
He had the heart of a sailor and the mind of a pirate
DDP football, I love all of y'all
I only got five words, rest in peace Mama Shah
When it comes to football, I can't forget about the cheerleaders of course
'Cause I don't think we would've made it without your support
First I would never forget Sherry who
Treated me so nice, girl I swore I was gonna marry you
Then there was De'Ann and girl you were so little
You and Percival always stuck together like gristle
Then there was Nicole and girl you always stole
The heart of every person that you came across, you know?
I know, ha
And then miss Danielle Hendon
Miss skip a grade because I'm too smart for the eleventh
You're a genius to me just in case I never said it
And I know I never said it, but I love your best friend
Miss R.M., girl you are such a gem to me
I majored in science because I felt your chemistry
But I lost Ms. R.M. to Mr. R.M.
It's all goodie, 'cause I love you both regardless
Rahim Moore, utility man on the football field
Man I swear that you are real
And I can't forget about Marlon Calix
We used to call him Moddah and he was the fastest
Traci Wallace,
Brian Williams always took good care of you like you were a wallet
Oh and there was a point that I wish I could've done the same
But who am I to call it
That same people that you thought you hated
In the end you tend to love
I just find it so hilarious like Garvin
Shoutout to my hoodstas
And that's an insider, so unless you were inside of the insider, sorry
Mark, James, Richard, J.J. and Corey
We also had the Jim, but that's a different story
He really didn't last, got kicked out 'cause he never came to class
I found it quite sad, oh
And speaking of class, Chris you never came to class
But it was alright, 'cause I always did the math
I understand you had to do what you had to do
Back then I wish I had it too, so I really ain't mad at you
To Vermont Williams, I love you dog
Your brother loved the song I made
He played it over everyday
Anyway, Mr. Kalii Robinson, Mr. don't try me up the middle
'Cause I'ma hit you hard and it's gonna hurt
Then Jeremy Jeffries
When it came to comedy you were one of the best to me
Justin Little, way bigger than his last name
Man you are gonna be somethin' vicious to the rap game
Especially Steve with the braids
You made it hard to breathe for the ladies
You know it, Otis riding in the Corsica
Remember the Corsica?
You used to drive it fast it kinda felt like a Porsche
Oh, Porsha Wilson, Mrs. I'ma take Spiyda from Beverly
Sister in-law, y'all probably would've made a cute couple
And I used to wish I and your sister were a couple, double date
But trust me, you're better off with a beast like number 57
Salvador Herrera, we relate together
Brodie, I remember ninth grade
We would talk about football since that September
I swore I was going to be a quarterback, you said you're a full-back
Now whoever thought that you'd end up being the center
You moved to varsity, now you're all-city
And I guess 'cause I was short, but the coaches all missed me
But it was all good, because I continued hittin' still
I kept my head up like the hittin' drills
Speaking of drills, the water girls held us down during practice
They always kept our water cold, I swear it tasted like magic
And I know it only took ice
Audrianna looked nice
Sometimes I used to daydream about you, ha
Your sister was cool peoples, y'all three were too sweet, uh
Speaking of three, that's you, your sister and Tanya
Tanya, um, ya were supposed to sing on my song, yup
And I swear I wanted to rap with your cousin, she was active
Maybe after that, her and I could do a little actin', ha
I'm just playin', no I'm not, 'cause I swear that she is hot
Like my hair in the summer, or Kevin Ally out the blocks
Now that's hot
Speaking of blocks, you know I gotta relate to the track
When it came to imitating Coach James, me and Max
Had that down packed and LeAni didn't like it
But I didn't care, 'cause gettin' on her nerves was exciting
I am beginning to feel a little Young Fresh like Remy
I got dreds like Vaness and a swag like Kelly
Determined like his bro Justin, I call him Webbie
Boy you proved me wrong when I thought you weren't ready
Y'all three keep it up, you'll be successful in every
Thing you wanna do, then I can't forget about Winshanna
Girl you treated me just like my momma
You always held me down during the drama
I'ma say I couldn't trade it for nothin'
And I was so surprised when I seen Shawn dunkin'
'Cause I remember at Audubon, you barely touched the backboard
And now my boy yammin' like Jordan
Hamilton and Mackie, and if you wanna ask me
The Dorsey Don Posse got all the best athletes
At least when it comes to everything that you need, see
Basketball Chris kept me up to date with the Weezy mixtapes
Shanice Martin, I liked you when I first seen you get your pencil sharpened
In the seventh grade at Audubon is what I'm talkin' about
I was young then and I felt you were too tall, so I never really told ya
But it's all good, 'cause now I'm a soldier
And anyone who want it, I beat it up like David Dozier (Or Kola)
Speaking of David Dozier
He was best friends with our Prom Queen, Mia
She won over Tinisha
It doesn't really matter, 'cause each of
Y'all are beautiful, man I swear it look like y'all bathe in pharmaceuticals
And Rasheeda, never let another dude treat ya
Bad let 'em know they better see the
Queen that's inside of you and give you the glory
"You are pretty though,"
And Tory was so precious like really though
Then Nyre, I swear girl you shine like a pearl
And you had the best swagger in the world for a girl
Agartha, umm..
As far as me being a Nigerian, I really dug the African dress that you wore to prom
And your date, Mychael Frances drove me around town
To get materials for my project that was due the next day, ha
Let's say that the gas was kinda high
Don't worry, I'ma pay you back for it one day
But for now, I'ma do what I do and continue
To give my tribute to my class of '08

[Chorus]
(Yeah they do it, but they don't really do it like us)
There ain't nothin' in this world that I done seen
That the people from Dorsey can't be (That's my class of '08)
La familia by my side, you can't stop me
With that Dorsey Don Posse, wake you up like coffee
Mess with one of us, then the other leave you in a trolley
Probably drop you at the beach by Poly
Class of '08, class of '08
See my Dorsey Don Posse clean you up like Colgate (What)
That's my class of '08

[Verse 2]
Francis, you said I was gonna do it
When it came to playin' corner, boy the world was your student
And then there was Percival
I know I mentioned you before
Yes but I believe that you and Francis are the world's best franchise
You see, my heart is big as Eric Stewart, or E-Stew
I swear he was so huge, he made me wanna go home and eat stew
But he wasn't nearly tall as Paul
We used to call him Siegel and his middle name is Quan
Where you gwan go, no you stay, affi accent it like
Tiffany eleventh grade, twelfth after we graduate
And after we graduated, I couldn't believe we made it
I really didn't wanna congratulate y'all like Malcolm Mays
But now I praise all of y'all, all of y'all
Even if you didn't walk the stage to Mr. Bartleson
To give you your diploma, 'cause you made it this far
And I know a lot of people that didn't make it this far, damn
That's deep, so now I gotta do it for the peeps that didn't make it
Rest in peace, y'all have a piece of my heart that's never vacant
Take a piece or a part, 'cause I will make it if you take it
Rest in peace, your souls will never be forsaken
Especially K.C., and Marcel, then Demontray
And whoever I didn't mention
I got y'all through divine intervention
Lessons learned in life
I guess sometimes you gotta go after you earn your stripes
Anyway, Sharmel Jackson, you were one of my favorites
You never had to act like high maintenance
Maybe it's considering your humility that catches their eyes
So if you change, never change your insides
And Ms. Rodasha Johnson, though we never really talked
I'm convinced that your name should've changed to Rodasha Robinson
Speaking of Robinson, Victoria Goodwin gave me that little confidence
That I could win
And your best friend, Lisa
I remember the time that the seniors went to Mulligans
And her and I ordered the pizza for twenty bucks
Yeah, we was ballin', but I'm lucky we had the school bus
'Cause I had nothin' to go home with
I was broke right after that, no lie
'Cause the ride up there was twenty and tickets were forty-five
And Ms. Manuel didn't let me slide
I wasn't trippin' 'cause I still had the time of my life, I know

[Chorus]
(Yeah they do it, but they don't really do it like us)
There ain't nothin' in this world that I done seen
That the people from Dorsey can't be (That's my class of '08)
La familia by my side, you can't stop me
With that Dorsey Don Posse, wake you up like coffee
Mess with one of us, then the other leave you in a trolley
Probably drop you at the beach by Poly
Class of '08, class of '08
See my Dorsey Don Posse clean you up like Colgate (What)
That's my class of '08

[Verse 3]
Coach Knox, we used to call him P.K.
Coach Beno, Coach Dave, Coach James, Latte, I'd say
Y'all meant the most to me
And Coach Carver, I ain't made a monkey out of you yet
'Cause out of me, you produced the best
And there was Troy, boy he could sing
You and your girlfriend did y'all thing
In the performance y'all did y'all thing
So you know I gotta do my thing
See, 'cause when it comes to Jet 2, he just
Hop up on the beat and go crazy like Matheos
You see it, no homo but I feel God made me an angel like Tanei
But I got a split personality like Danielle Gettis
'Cause she was such an actress
Her real name was Danielle, but on the stage, she's Alexis
And speaking of Alexis
Mr. Serrano, your baby's already my height
I swear he's the size of Texas, and it's
Killing me inside how I'm so reckless
And now that I'm old enough I can say this is what I'll do to Ms. Estes
Speaking of Ms. Estes
Remember we used to argue for fun in class
About whether you or I was the fastest
Well, I guess you're kinda faster than me
'Cause you ran 51, I only ran 53, sike
Ha, you were one of my greatest teachers
You and Ms. Kinney, and Ms. Middleton
The same class that I had Sherry in
And Coach Dave, and Musgrave, and Ms. Nathan
If I named all my teachers, I'd be rapping for the whole day again
So Iman, my favorite girl, I swear you and Nyjah are so out of this world
And to GT and Donyel, man I got more than love for y'all, I'm passed it
Me and Brian always took them bathroom visits before practice
You know, gotta let it go and I swear it would never fail
Me and Brian always made it before Kevin and Denzel
So we always had a stall, yeah we always had a stall
And in my high school career, we never used it after y'all
Blair and Jasmine, Nicole's cousin, y'all gon' make it
Cherrie, Patrick, Anthony, and Darius from Bankhead
Jeffrey, Jerry, Dave boy, Jorrian and Agent
Shannon, Michael, Charles, man I swear y'all were always racin'
Rita and Brianna and Triston and Reshon and
Kyra and Shaquan and Ryan and Deshawn and
Julio and every Nicole I know
I swear I'm tearing up, I swear you feel my soul all in your bones, ahh
Ashley, Brianna's cousin, and the one with the pretty eyes
I swear when I looked at you, you didn't notice, but I'd be teary eyed
Kinda how I felt about miss R.M.
But I'ma touch that subject basis later on in this song very specifically
But Jeremy Harris, your cousin Michelle built me up when I was broken
Brought me out when I was floatin', dried me off when I was soakin'
She was my sister, I was her brother
Now I only wish the best for her and her significant other
Mustard, oh my God
Remember we said we were gonna do it and we did it
Now we're whatever failure isn't
And JBoy, you're my motivation and my inspiration is Godwin
Whenever we rapped, he was Batman, I was Robin
Man I swear it feel like God locked all three of us in a doctrine and
Left us with no oxygen
Man, my boy Goddy I swear you're the reason that I started this
You're the reason I did it
But Spiyda's the reason I'm still livin'
He was all I had when I didn't have nothin'
The only one to ever see me cry since I was nine
And they pulled a gun out on him at 7Eleven
And I swear that night I was ready to send someone to heaven
And I was gonna go if I had to
With him I'll go to war if I have to
Touch him wrong and I swear I'll attack you
When it comes to music, it's the music I die for
But Ruqaiyah Muhammad I survive for

[Chorus]
(Yeah they do it, but they don't really do it like us)
There ain't nothin' in this world that I done seen
That the people from Dorsey can't be (That's my class of '08)
La familia by my side, you can't stop me
With that Dorsey Don Posse, wake you up like coffee
Mess with one of us, then the other leave you in a trolley
Probably drop you at the beach by Poly
Class of '08, class of '08
See my Dorsey Don Posse clean you up like Colgate
That's my class of '08
