My friend is a middle school teacher in Philly, and she asked me to put a song together for her school to help motivate her kids for the PSSA. She wanted me to take a current popular song and flip it. Well, I love a good challenge. Haha.
This is the FCAT version for my friend in Miami.

LYRICS
(hook)
there's no question don't gotta ask kid
I got smarts man I'm gonna pass this
I know the answer don't gotta guess it
so when the test comes I'm not gonna stress it
no I'll just fill it in, I'll just fill it in
man I'll just fill it in, I'll just fill it in
yeah I'll just fill it in, I'll just fill it in
man I'll just fill it in, ah ah oooo
I can't lie I'm a man of pride
so I'm ready for the test / standardized
if I don't study then my hands are tied
so I can't sit in class and fantasize
gotta hit the books, gotta stay focused
so when the test comes I got this I know this
it's all about dedication
improve my situation through education
work hard now, play later
so I don't have to worry when my teacher grades papers
and I don't worry bout a f-f-f-f-FCAT
circle ABC be A-Okay
and I've got my mind right
so I know which answer to highlight
yeah I'm ready for this math and reading
when I'm done I'm gonna laugh and say "that was easy"
(hook)
was in the lunch line, now it's test time
so I know to approach with the best mind
cuz my grind in school is nothing new
I stay sharp like my pencils / No. 2
it's not up to me, it's up to you
that's what my teacher said, and I trust it's true
so when I take the test, I'm not rushing through
when I get my scores back I want a "W"
that's a big win, sink or swim
well I'm a winner man yes I am thinking big
see in gym class, it's about muscle
but the FCAT is about hustle
and I've got that, I've got that
grab my pencil and fill the spots black
I can score proficient at least
but between you and me I'm on a mission to beast it
(hook)
I'll just fill it in, I'll just fill it in, yeah I'll just fill it in (ah ah oooo) (x2)
still filling them Oooo's
I'm still filling them Oooo's
we're still filling them Oooo's
ah ah oooo
Thank you for posting this song. It's awesome! I am a video production teacher at a middle school in Florida and I love the "cathiness" of this song. I was wondering if my students can create a music video and lip-synch to your song. We would credit your information at the end. But I thought it would be a cool project for those who would like the challenge.

@TheOspreyProductions Thank you so much for your kind words! Please feel free to use my song in any way you wish! Your music video sounds like a great idea! A credit would be much appreciated. Let me know when your video is finished - I would love to see it, and I would be more than happy to upload your work on my YouTube channel :)

@coldavid1 I appreciate the fact that you like my song, but it sounds like you're asking me if you can turn in my lyrics and pass them off as your own, in which case... nah dude, I'm not cool with that. Best of luck with the assignment.
