Breakin' outta school ain't really foolin' no one I was sure I'd get my awards in time Backin' up the street with the smell of sweet sensation Didn't want to be another dime Hidden in the pocket of some unfortunate nation Didn't have no money, sure didn't have the time [Chorus] Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing But I fought with nothing But I fought with nothing, nothing, nothing Laughin' at the rumor that you've been screwin' someone Laugh and I cry, it could be your turn next time Brother, what a lover, beyond the fourth dimension He's got an ego that's bigger tan yours and mine Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing But I fought with nothing But I fought with nothing, nothing, nothing [Chorus] Don't call me Bwana, let it settle in your heart We move from children into a business counterpart Your head was shaking as I walked into the room A spirit breaking, that's why I feel this way That's why I feel this way That's why I feel this way That's why, why That's why I feel this way Breakin' outta school ain't really foolin' no one I was sure I'd get my awards in time Backin' up the street with the smell of sweet sensation Didn't want to be another dime Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing But I fought with nothing But I fought with nothing, nothing, nothing Unfortunate thing
