Lyrics

Skipping School and Playing Pool

V1

Skipping school and playing pool

Midday sun breaking every rule

Backpack full but my head felt free

First time choosing what to be

Pre1

Why does the bell decide what’s true

Who says learning only happens in school

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Watching balls move true

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

V2

Cut through alleys behind the store

Dust on shoes by a side-street door

Smoke hung low in the afternoon

Air felt thick like a held breath noon

V3

Old men leaned like crooked signs

Coins and chalk mapping out the lines

Nobody asked me where I’d been

Just a nod that let me in

V4

Jukebox hummed something slow and low

Quarter dropped. Let the silence go

Every miss rang sharp and clear

Every make said stay right here

Pre2

Who keeps score when nobody’s loud

Who do you face when you miss in a crowd

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Watching balls move true

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

V5

I learned patience by waiting still

Learned touch beats force and always will

You rush the shot. You pay it twice

You slow it down. You learn the price

V6

Saw a man lose calm before cash

Watched pride crack louder than the smash

Nobody blamed the table then

They owned the miss. Reset again

V7

Chalk on my hands. Dust on my jeans

Learning what pressure really means

School never showed me how to lose

That came from knowing when to choose

Pre3

What happens when you force it through

What disappears when you rush the cue

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Watching balls move true

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

V8

Afternoon light cut through the haze

Felt like time forgot the days

Outside bells kept pulling strings

Inside I learned what choosing brings

V9

I knew I’d pay when I walked back late

Ink on paper. Closed school gate

But something stayed I couldn’t undo

I trusted myself. I chose my cue

V10

Years went by. New rooms. Same test

Same quiet pause before the guess

Life still breaks if you move too fast

Life still keeps what you let pass

Pre4

Is freedom worth the later cost

What do you gain when time feels lost

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Watching balls move true

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

V11

No bell now. No hall pass proof

Just choices hanging over truth

Every risk still asks what you’ll do

Just like lining up the cue

V12

If I could talk to that younger kid

I’d say trust what your hands already did

Not every rule was built for you

But every shot still belongs to you

V13

Every room goes quiet someday

Every table asks you to play

When life leans back and waits on you

Slow it down. And choose your cue

Pre5

When the room goes silent. What do you do

Do you wait. Or do you choose your cue

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Watching balls move true

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

Bridge

Not every miss means you were wrong

Not every win means you belong

But every shot tells something true

About how you aim. And what you do

Chorus

Skipping school and playing pool

Learning angles never taught in school

Green felt truths. Every ball tells truth

Some lessons start when you line up your cue

Outro

I still hear chalk hit wood at noon

Still smell smoke in an empty room

Every time life asks what I’ll do

I slow it down. And line up my cue
