Parents Just Don't Understand* (Student Version)
the italicized portion originates from the song written by Pete Harris, Will Smith, Jeffrey Townes
By T. C.
You know parents are the same no matter the time or place
They dont understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So to you other kids all across the land
there's no need to argue, parents just don't understand...
I remember the day I was chilling on the porch
My mom took me clothes shopping
It was me, my dawg, my pops and my little sister
We in the car bopping
We slid over to the mall
Dukes started tweaking with the clothes she chose
I ain't say nothing at first
The stuff was wack, she doesn't know fashion I suppose
She felt my vibe, It was on my face
She was like, "this shirt is only $20"
I knew she playing
I was like like, "Ma, you can't find nothing nice for under $40"
The next 30 minutes was the same mess
Ma Dukes was copping drip from 1992
Then she lost it and did the most
Told her to cop the Balenciaga's and she got Shaq 2's
And when I went to school, it was just like I already knew
The kids at school were going in on my shoes
Everybody was on my neck, not just the few
I couldn't even walk down the hall because of my new shoes
When I got home, I tried to explain to my mom
that I would have to fight, I couldn't do this 140 times
I tried to represent the brand, but
You already be knowing, she wasn't trying to understand
