Intro
Ayo school out, bell just hit, we sprintin' the halls Pizza Tuesday in the caf had the whole squad raw But I got this secret, fr, y'all ain't even know Scan this plastic, watch the whole block glow...
Verse 1
Pizza gone, belly full, now we dip from the yard Backpack heavy with homework, feelin' kinda hard Walk six blocks, scan my card at the desk like a boss Free books for the report, no mom stressin' the cost I’m tryna think grown, like “bills paid, knowledge stocked” But really just your boy, lowkey scared of the clock Got the 3D printer spinnin' my science fair go Lib card in pocket, now the whole week on go
Chorus
Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect! Books, games, tools, yeah we leveling stats, Library plug, now the whole crew tapped! Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect!
Verse 2
Big bro showed me, now I’m borrowin' slime kits and books Mom said “too broke,” but sis got the looks I talk like “this my adult move, watch me build” Really just makin' bracelets, but I’m feelin' the thrill Scanner beep make me giggle, but I act all cool Like “yeah I got resources, playin' by my rules” Seed packets for the window plant I’m growin' tall Lib card my plug, sis standin' ten feet tall
Chorus
Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect! Books, games, tools, yeah we leveling stats, Library plug, now the whole crew tapped! Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect!
Verse 3
I was failin' math, teacher had me in the pit Library computer lab, tutor fixed that quick I’m like “yo this how grown folks do, research the fix” But really I’m 11, just tryna not get kicked Borrowed the calculator, the headphones for the beat Now my project bussin', whole class like “how he eat?” Caf nugget day we all laughin' 'bout the card Dawg said “this the cheat code, keep it in the squad”
Chorus
Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect! Books, games, tools, yeah we leveling stats, Library plug, now the whole crew tapped! Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect!
Verse 4
At lunch table, nuggets saucy, fries on the tray We whisperin' the secret so the whole school don’t play One homie borrowed drum sticks, another the telescope I’m tryna sound wise like “this how we cope” No money for the new kicks or the game we want But lib got the maker space, we build what we flaunt Youngins actin' grown, talkin' “future plans” But really just hyped 'cause the card got us fans
Chorus
Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect! Books, games, tools, yeah we leveling stats, Library plug, now the whole crew tapped! Scan the code, lib card on deck! Free game for the squad, no cap, we collect!
Verse 5
From the yellow bus ride to the library steps We see the world different, no more stressed Pizza day glow, homework done on the low Lib card in every backpack, watch the whole crew grow I’m still small, but feel ten feet high Sis, dawg, crew, we all touchin' the sky Through our eyes it’s magic, no cap, real talk School street got the plug, now we walk that walk
Bridge
We ain’t got the money... but we got the card We ain’t got the answers... but the lib got 'em hard One scan change the day... fr fr...
Outro
Yeah... lib card gang... School out, scan up... we up... Barcode kids run the town...
