I would miss out on class for studio, shows and tours. What woul make u miss out when #ClassInSesion knowing how important it is? This song is a response to a letter from one of my imaginary girls "Destiny" that you may read below
Intro (blow me away interlude)
Wasup Boy
How u doing? Where are you even? Who are u with? Obviously I need not say I'm thinking about u…and now I'm writing an email message while the lec(turer) is on the set….I mean when the professor is in the place and class is in sessh…I'm turning into u…always on some other very unrelated business whenever class in session
What is happening in your life, boy? Is it popping? I ain't trying to pry, Im just asking…I remember how the trend caught on like a hush tag#... You were active for the first class pulling a nerd, …then passively silent looking focused but not saying a word… then clearly physically present but absent minded like…what’s a good simile for that? Absent minded like you, maybe?...then it changed to late for all classes en eventually zero attendances... Isn't that the practical definition of commitment Issues?(HintHint)
I do not know how u made the decision but most of us just like you…but you know it ain't wise to cut class if u ain't got better things things to do…you and your nerd ways could change your family’s life boy. You could have one of these offices that they have programmed us to covet. I do not know what u up to…boy, but u owe it to more than just yourself. Hope you know that your decisions affect your nieces and nephs. And I wonder what u rushing for…ever heard of baby steps?
I miss u n ur crazy wayz…for a brilliant dude, u r very silly..i miss the games. Do u miss me? I know u do not miss class…sigh….and this is where the email message becomes unimportant…or at least less important than class…..coz ill end up asking questions like what about us?...anyway, I hope to see u soon…and when I do…you better blow me away!!!
lyrics
Blow me away
Class in Session….Wrap Phil
Vs 1
Finally I made it, I made it I made it classy/ I never made it to class I decided what I wanted/I made it to Chuo Rex and I made a classic/we starting on a clean slate even the haters love it/
Fans be sending we tweets telling me they want it/ radio been playing my wit ever since I was a young kid/in them NY fitted caps as if I was a younkee/Im addicted to travelling I gotta make them junkies/
I want my spot its been way overdue/too long they been asking me, boy what im gonna do about u sitting on it when Im way over u/ like all my old girlfriends
I traded my agric econ classes/Im into studios head phones and tour buses/ never flux on a track I got them sure verses/and I'm about to blow u away like just after u puff i/life is a test and im about to pass it i/ will that blow u away? Will that blow u u away? If I stay grade A?

I know that class in Session, I never made it to class
I made it to Chuo Rex and Im lacing a verse
I know that class in session, I never made it to that
I know where my destiny @ and I be following that
I know that class in Session, I never made it to class
I made it to Chuo Rex and Im lacing a verse
know that class in session, I never made it to that
I know where my treasure be @ so I follow my heart
Vs 2
Whenever anything goes, I got the best freesteez/ if u got my old u know Im better than iv ever been/ and please understand the philosopher stoned hi as a bird/either way the game is in need of a different number one
Impossi what mayne? I aint concerned/whatever made u think Im trying to listen to that/I got my groove down low so I set the standards/my European car dreams is mighty armored so you could wish me the best or u could start some drama/
And the kind of star I am, deeper than a tail fin/if u ride with me, I forever remain real/I'm a rapper, so I got numerous imaginary girls/ I got faith and hope, I’m trying to get joy back/I follow destiny like twitter so she follow me back/id rather that than a job and a hole in the heart/I ain't got a carddi yet but I push my luck
Vs3
Can i…can I get to speak my truth?/All my life I been idolizing American youth/ they the role models I got from the airwaves and the tube/have them and their girls on every wall of my room
Training under a lot of pressure so I'm good with the craft/I know ur mind is on the money fam but where ur soul and ur heart?/ mine is on a stage in Europe or a radio chart/and if I ever get to manifest my voice into that/my heart will stay in Nairobi the place that I came up/
A musician must make music, a painter stay with the art/ a poet must have a pen or a tablet and such/if he is to be at peace with himself, Abraham Maslow said that/ without the rhyme and the slang, so we never caught on or got a hang on it/ the sun is fire when I'm out casting my seeds/ the land is the lord’s eventually they’ll grow into trees...
