about

High school is a time of self-discovery, but for the Yangsta it was a time for achieving academic success. He speaks on his experiences in the IB (International Baccalaureate) program and how it has changed his life. This song was the Yangsta's first professional music video production.

lyrics

[Hook]
I live the IB Life, I live the IB Life.
I live the IB life, I have no life.
I live the IB Life, I live the IB Life.
I live the IB life, I have no life.

Verse 1:
Just another day in my IB life,
I B putting in work from bright to night.
Piles of homework stacked to the ceiling,
Come on let’s face it, there’s no time for chilling.
Pages of work spread miles around,
But at least, I’m better off than Brown Pound Town.
In the IB lifestyle, sleep’s a privilege.
My eyes so heavy, I call em luggage.
I would doze when I write so many nights,
That my moms made me my own crash site.
Oppressed and messed just to reach success.
Puffing on my e-cigs take away the stress.
Yo IB’s tough, it’s mad unreal.
It made my baller basement feel like jail.
Tests and assignments, so many things.
I finally know why, the caged bird sings.

[Hook]

Verse 2:
EE, IOC make me poop out bricks
Got me screaming acronyms for free us quick.
Work everyday, my life’s so hard.
Got me mixing in cream with my glass cool-aid.
Time for work no time for par-tays,
Gotta fix my essay, for TOK.
Oh yeah, my HI’s due, so unfair.
History got me pulling out my hair.
My homegirls wanna chill but I can’t
Gotta do a paper before it kills my brain.
I’m anti-social, I need excitement.
The dates I have, are on assignments.
My life’s a battle, it’s a constant fight.
Against lady IB, whom wins every night.
Some say scholarships are perks for education,
But I call it, IB war reparations.

[Hook]
Verse 3:
Yo the IB life, wasn’t all that bad.
I sure am glad for great times I had.
I made true friends, who got my back.
Helped me with my problems, both thin and fat.
Here’s a little message for the new recruits,
When next year comes, you’ll be so dead dude.
Kiss up to your peers and teachers too,
Cuz they do what they can, to help you through.
Even though this lifestyle is driving me wild,
I still managed to keep my smile.
From my time in IB I sure did grow,
‘cause I’m not the same dude, 2 years ago.

[Hook] x2
