Never Had To

I've never had to do this thing before
But trust me it's only 'cuz I feel forced
Resortin' to this, report on a news clip
Courtroom imminent, the whole I'm diggin' in
Won't stop deepening and I'm sinking in
Used to stand tall like a hat on Wolverine
That all changed when my life got better
Doesn't sound right but I got a letter
From an unknown feller who wore a leather blazer
Major important, told me through a paper
to pack bags and clap hand with my mom and
Dad, going to college in the following fall
One little pitfall they bounce around
Like a pinball is the amount it'll take
Found myself already in poverty
Before I even step into my first party

No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh

I'd never had to do this before now
But I was forced to, there was no other way out
Rather than pout at the insurmountable
Amount I thought about how to ready my account
I started studying, the sweat was puddling
Ocean's Eleven and Now You See Me
Reservoir Dogs, I started thinking
How to do the job, think like the mob
Bought a box off Amazon, thank God for Prime
It came just within the frame of time
That I designed planned it all to a T
Mask, gloves, gun for convincing
Walked through the doors, said it without wincing
'Put the money in the bag and don't be stingy'
I saw her comply and I started grinning
Screw you, college, 'cuz now I'm winning

No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh

I'd never quite done this thing before
So it slipped my mind, forgot to lock the door
A man ran out, heard him as he's going
Who's he going to? I had no way of knowing
Still holding the bag, lady's a drag
Taking too long I realize she purposely
Is trying to lag so I try to dash
But the man came back with the cops
My ass was bound and gagged, oh so sad
Stashed in the back of a squad car, didn't like that
I was dragged to the police building
They interviewed, tagged, and filmed me
I'm not trying to brag 'cuz it kills me
I feel bad, the news hit the tracks
Irony is my account's balanced again
College heard the news now I'm not accepted

No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh
No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh

This was my first time tryna commit a crime
Never had a reason to before in my life
Not how I was brought up, never had a thought of
Shootin' and tootin' and runnin' with groupings
Of hoodlums and some of the rude ones, I know there are
good ones don't know if I knew one before
I knew that my doings meant I had become one
Situation was dumb, but
Like I said before, I had no choice
The knowledge that I had the knowledge for all of the
College but had to acknowledge my lack of money
Haulin', it halted my exalted responses
Turned me diabolic, I'm being hyperbolic
But you get the point
It's pretty simple. Just, like,
Make it... cheaper

No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh
No no no no no no
I don't even know know know know know know
What I'll be in for for for for for for
Never done this before now
Let's see how this turns out, oh
