Student 1:Just gonna stay up and surf the web,
But it's alright because tomorrow's the weekend.
Just gonna save my homework for last,
But it's alright because I've done this in the past;
I've done this in the past.
Rapper: I can't tell you how to live your life,
I can only tell you what's wrong or right.
And right now, you are throwing away, your night.
You could sleep but won't try though it's primetime.
As long as it's still "mid night" you think it's alright.
Hiding from sleep, staying awake, it's like a big mistake
And it's awful, the more you suffer, you'll soon ache
And go right down to the kitchen, for a piece of cake
Or a coffee break, just to stay up late-
Student 1: WAIT
Whatchu sayin'?
Rapper: Just listen up
Student 1: Tell it straight. Start over and annunciate.
Rapper: Here we go again:
It's for your brain, 'cause when it gets sleep, it's doing great.
It's supercharged and awesome, it'll hardly strain.
But when it's tired, it's awful, you'll feel sick and lame.
You'll ask "what's wrong? Why do I feel this way?"
I hate to tell you: you're the one you should blame.
Student 1: I guess I didn't know my own brain.
Student 2: Just gonna party the whole night through,
But it's alright because I know just what to do.
I'm gonna sleep all day long.
I'm getting sleep so it can't be that wrong.
It can't be that wrong.
It can't be that wrong.
Rapper: You ever been so tired that you could barely see?
When you're sleepy and slow and there's nothing you can do to even lift a knee?
Get that slow sluggish movement, heavy limbs, used to be me.
Now you're tired all the time, can't even party.
You swore this would be your year to work hard and study
Now you're sleeping in and missing all your classes that start early.
You have a love-hate with your grades:
Happy Crappy Sucky Lame. So lost you don't even know what class you're in.
It's your sleep that's the culprit, controls your life
So they say it's best to get 8 winks a day
Guess that you should know that: if you skimp, it accumulates.
Yesterday is gone, but debt don't go away.
Sounds like you cannot start over.
Promise me this, next time, you won't be late.
Life is no videogame, you need your sleep
Or you get to watch your grades fall steep
Student 2: Guess I should've started counting sheep.
Student 3: Just gonna pull an allnighter.
It's my first one, so I guess it won't hurt.
I've got 2 midterms to take tomorrow.
I wonder how they are going to go.
(They're) going to go.
(They're) going to go.
Rapper: Now your friends have said things, done things, but that doesn't mean
That you should jump off the bridge too, to the same routine
Yes, you should study for your midterms, I agree.
But the night before is just for reaffirming.
Baby please, go sleep!
It's good for you, baby, listen please!
Maybe I'm not as clear as I need to be.
Maybe I need studies to prove just what I mean.
All I know is, I know I'm right, so hear my plea.
Go to bed, put your books on the bookshelf,
Don't you know this is all for your grades and your health?
Told you this is true stuff, I'm not trying to be tough.
Next time, you'll listen before my voice gets all gruff.
Next time? There should be no next time.
I have taught you well and I shouldn't have to yell.
Student 3: I'm tired of this song; I just wanna sleep! I know you're sincere.
Rapper: If I ever have to sing this song again,
Imma bring a bunch of friends to make the message clear.
All: Just go and get your sleep tonight.
Put down the caffeine and turn off the lights.
Just go and get to bed on time.
Because you know just what's on the line.
What's on the line.
Rapper: It's your sane mind.
