T-Squad - Parents Just Don't Understand lyrics

Listen up now everybody All you kids across the land Listen up now everybody Parents don't understand: You know parents are the same No matter time nor place They don't understand that us kids Are going to make some mistakes So to you, all the kids all across the land There's no need to argue Parents just don't understand I remember one year My mom took me school shopping It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister All hopped in the car We headed downtown to the gallery mall My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose I didn't say nothing at first I just turned up my nose She said, "what's wrong? this shirt cost $20" We said, "mom, this shirt is plaid with a bu*terfly collar!" The next half hour was the same old thing My mother buying me clothes from 1983 And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate I asked her for adidas and she bought me zips! I said, "mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep" She said, "you're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet" I (we) said, "mom, let's put these clothes back, please" She said "no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show" I said, "this isn't family matters , come on mom, i'm not erkle Mom, please put back the high water pants with lime circles But if you don't want to i can live with that but You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks" She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same Inevitably the first day of school came I thought i could get over, i tried to play sick But my mom said, "no, no way, uh-uh, forget it" There was nothing i could do, i tried to relax I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts And when i walked into school, it was just as i thought The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes mom bought And those who weren't laughing still had a ball Because they were pointing and whispering As i walked down the hall I got home and told my mom how my day went She said, "if they were laughing you don't need them "cause they're not good friends" For the next six hours i tried to explain to my mom That i was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times So to you all the kids all across the land There's no need to argue Parents just don't understand [mom] i don't care if you and your friend are a m ing each other [kid] it's iming [mom] get over here right now [kid] there's no explaining grown ups [dad] hey i'm with it, i like that justin timberland guy [kid] it's timerlake [dad] hey you wanna see me do the moon walk again [mom] i loved when your father did the moon walk [kid] what? shhhhh!
