One School
I didn't say yes
I didn't say I'll think about it
I can't tell you my real name
But yes, I can confirm that I did get asked to the prom
The undercover officer who played Naomi is 25 years old
A new recruit with the Palm Beach Police Force
My assignment
To pose as a senior and find out who's buying, who's selling
Mostly pills and weed
You would not believe
How easy it is to get pills and weed
What's the hardest part?
Psssh, the cafeteria
Imagine hundreds of teenagers yelling
And running full speed
And the lack of deodorant
Let's just say
I would drink at the end of the day
Seriously these kids need to learn
There are consequences in life
If I'm doing my job
And I'm doing it right
I am making life safer one school at a time
So he asked you to the prom?
Right
I gave every excuse
I said it's too expensive
Which is totally true, by the way
I told him
"Look, I'm just a transfer
I wouldn't feel comfortable with all your friends"
And it's true you make friends on the job
Then it ends
You meet kids who are sensitive,
Smart, and defenceless
Those are the ones you remember
The ones that you think about after you're gone
Seriously these kids need to learn
There are consequences in life
If I'm doing my job
And I'm doing it right
I am making life safer one school at a time
Meanwhile...
What the heck I gotta do
To be with you
What the heck I gotta do
Tell me who I gotta be
For you to be with me
Do you smoke?
What?
You smoke weed?
No, I don't but if that's what you need
I can find some for you
I can be your supply
You would do that for me?
I can be your guy
(Oh, yes)
Seriously these kids need to learn (woah)
There are consequences in life (I'll get whatever you need)
If I'm doing my job
And I'm doing it right
I am making life safer one school at a time
What are you thinking as you're trying to get this pot to sell to her?
I'm thinking: what the heck am I doing?
'Cause I don't hang out with guys like that
So what did you do?
I didn't say I'll think about it
I can't tell you my real name
But yes, I can confirm that I did get asked to the prom
