Parents Just Don't Understand

Dans le style de

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Paroles

you know parents are
the same no matter
time nor place
they don't understand
that us kids are gonna
make some mistakes

so to you other 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 shoppin'
it was me
my brother
my ma
oh my pop

and my little sister
all hopped in the car
we headed downtown
to the gallery mall

my mom
started buggin' with
the clothes she chose
i didn't say nothin'
at first
i just turned up
my nose

she said what's wrong
this shirt cost
twenty dollars
i said mom
the shirt is plaid with
a butterfly collar

the next half hour
was the same old thing
my mother
buyin' me clothes
from 1963 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 doin'
you'll ruin my rep

she said
you're only sixteen
you don't have
a rep yet

i 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
sha na na
come on mom
i'm not bowser
mom please put back
the bell-bottom
brady-bunch
trousers

but if you
don't want to
i can live with that but
you gotta put back
the double-knit
reversable slacks

she wasn't with it
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 nothin'
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
crackin' up laughin'
at the clothes
mom bought

and those who
weren't laughin'
still had a ball
'cause 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 laughin'
you don't need 'em
'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 two hundred
more times

so to you other kids
all across the land
there's no need
to argue
parents just
don't understand

ok
here's the situation
my parents
went away on
a week's vacation and

they left the keys
to the
brand-new porsche
would they mind
mm well
of course not

i'll just take it for
a little spin and
maybe show it off
to a couple of friends

i'll just cruise it
around the
neighborhood
well maybe
i shouldn't
yeah of course
i should

pay attention
here's the thick
of the plot
i pulled up
to the corner
at the end of my block

and that's when i saw
this beautiful
girly-girl walkin'
i picked up my
car phone to
perpetrate like
i was talkin'

you shoulda seen
this girl's
bodily dimensions
i honked my horn
just to get
her attention
she said

was that for me
i said yeah
she said why
i said come on and
take a ride with
a hell of a guy

she said
how do i know
you're not sick
you could be some
deranged lunatic

i said come on toots
my name is the prince
besides
would a lunatic
have a porsche
like this

she agreed and
we were on our way
she was lookin'
very good so was i
i must say
word
we hit mcdonald's

pulled into the drive
we ordered
two big macs and
two large fries
with cokes

she kicked her
shoes off
onto the floor
she said
drive fast
speed turns me on

she put her hand
on my knee
i put my foot
on the gas
we almost got
whiplash it took off
so fast

the sunroof
was open
the music was high
and this girl's hand
was steadily moving
up my thigh

she had opened up
three buttons on
her shirt so far
i guess that's why
i didn't notice
that police car

we're doin' ninety in
my mom's new porsche
and to make this
long story
short

short
when the cop
pulled me over
i was scared as hell
i said i don't have
a license but i drive
very well officer

i almost had a
heart attack that day
come to find out
the girl was
a twelve-year-old
runaway

i was arrested
the car
was impounded
there was no way
for me to avoid
bein' grounded

my parents had to
come off of vacation
to get me
i'd rather be in jail
than to have
my father hit me

my parents walked in
and i got my grip
i said uh mom
dad
how was your trip

they didn't speak
i said
i wanna plead my case
but my father just
shoved me in the car
by my face

that was
a hard ride home
i don't know
how i survived it
they took turns
one would beat me
while the other one
was drivin'

i can't believe it
i just made a mistake
well parents are
the same
no matter time
nor place

so to you other kids
all across the land
take it from me
parents just
don't understand
