Straight A's
Connor Price Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Straight A student but I'm friends with the cool kids
Following the rules in the rubric
Freestyle on the bus and it's too lit
Everybody like oh damn who's this
Raising the steaks like Ruth's Chris
Clockwork how I shine like Kubrick
Yeah I heard what you got with the music
Think that it's hot but it's not like mucus
Pick a side never switch get a back bone
She the only one that hit me on the bat phone
Turn a rap flow to a cash flow
Cash cow got the game in a lasso
Five figures this week, no show yet
Yeah I do it all form a home set up
Turn a TikTok to a Rolex
And it got more views than a Coachella
Make money off streams cause I own it
Can't exploit me cause I know better
Work smarter not harder I know this
But I still do both I'm a go-getter
Scroll back on the Gram you can see just how I did it, ay
This ain't overnight I been at it for a minute, ay
World gave me lemons and I turned it into lemonade
Got the juice and I made a brand off of it like I'm Minute Maid
Straight A student but I'm friends with the cool kids
Following the rules in the rubric
Freestyle on the bus and it's too lit
Everybody like oh damn who's this
Ship don't sink no loose lips
What a row boat to a cruise ship
What a penny stock to a blue chip
What's an NPC to a blue tick
Whole life felt protagonist
Like Bilbo Baggans is
Name got weight no dragging this
Too big for the scale like dragon skin
Headed to the top go kill it
Said he gonna pop no kidding
I can never stop no chilling
Way too attached yeah I caught those feeling
Shot through the roof I ain't got no ceiling
Boom
Hit em' with the hook, reel em in like it's a fishing line
Hit the ground running and I'm blowing through the finish line
Everybody in the crowd bounce when I finish lines
Make em'a all dance like the Finnish prime minister
Face so innocent, flow so sinister
Pay those dividends, hold no prisoners
Try to put it all in a verse
Phone DND so please no visitors
Yeah
Straight A student but I'm friends with the cool kids
