Hey David, a so dem call bad man
Dem just gwan lef' you an'
Bwoy, you no see?
A no big ting
Run deh weh dem, I say, to Dave
Dem a chat all a big ting
Me tell you, so me tell dem 'bout di same ting
Haha
Don't worry, man
If your girl leave you or a nuttin'
Hear me a tell you now, Dave
No big ting, no worry 'bout it
Yeah
You man a just live life and enjoy di ting
Yeah, man
I'ma tell you somethin', man
Can't seem to sew a single hole in my pocket, Lord, I've tried
Yeah, money talks, I should know, mine always says goodbye
And I know that money can't buy love
I've parked my speedboat next to some
This jungle is bad boy's sufferer (Yes, I have)
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big ting
No big thing
Time for these boot heels
To be wanderin' towards those burning sands
A genealogical testimony that white boys simply cannot dance
Can't let that little stuff trip you up, I take the fattest chance
And now I got the answer to a question no one asked
So here's two rules I got for you, great ones for living under
First, don't sweat the little shit
Second is there ain't no other
Tattoos, scars, and missing parts
And all the rich have ever proven is they are to life
What American Bandstand is to the theory of evolution
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big ting
No big thing
Who needs the aggravation?
It all adds up to no big ting
No big thing
Stamps in my passport now they're Polaroids and drinking stories
And I got some good ones now, it's getting harder to ignore me
Now I'm believing half the reason just for leaving is coming home
What'd you see and who'd you do and what you done?
I'll be lounging on the Riviera, Riviera couch that is
When you're surfing forty footers, you don't need no trace
Future's looking brighter, every beer that I pour in me
Even this I have to say with absolute uncertainty
Too much exasperation
Least now I know it's no big thing
No big thing
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big thing
No big thing
No big thing
No big thing
They finally tore the old schoolhouse down, forever gone
My history, yeah, what used to be
And now when I go driving by and point where I used to go to school
I'm pointing at an A&P
All I'm leaving when it's time to go is my old blue jeans
And gold brass zippo, teach in turn
All those secret things I've learned
And all I learned from history, and careful how you take it
Is recognize the same mistake every time you make it
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big ting
No big thing
Who needs the aggravation?
It all adds up to no big ting
No big thing
