a girl named Jessica

Yo, you see that girl over there? No, no don’t look, don’t look. That girl is so smart; all she gets is A’s.

What’s her secret, though? I want to know her secret, man. What is it?

 

Let me tell you about a girl who cracked the code,

Figured out a secret that you have to know.

Everything she comes across in her day,

Is all good because she plays it like a game.

A quiz? She doesn’t run from it or evade it,

Nah, she’s not afraid of getting it graded.

Because even a pop quiz on Henry the Eighth

Is just a challenge like an arcade game.

And even if she bungles it and makes it a mess,

She learns from her mistakes; the girl doesn’t rest.

No, she shows and exhibits a calm all the time,

She’s cooler than James Bond in a pond eating limes.

She’s cooler than a sunglass-wearing polar bear,

She’s cooler than a winter with the coldest air.

But she exerts herself, works hard to prepare,

She’s getting ready all the time; you better beware.

She hits those books, and you have to know,

That a big test for her is like tic-tac-toe.

And she retains,

And keeps all the information in her brain.

In fact, some of the time she’s writing a rhyme

To make sure that the facts always stick in her mind.

She’s going to hold the power, reign like a king,

’Cause whatever the thing, she plays it like a game.

I play it like a game, I play it like a game,

Everything I come across, I play it like a game.

I play it like a game, I play it like a game,

Everything I come across, I play it like a game.

She knows how to debate, argue and discuss,

She reads clues in everything she does.

She’s feeling calm and so composed

Whenever she has to compose something, write it down.

She’s like, “If I can play checkers and Monopoly,

I could probably get some A’s on these tests.”

It’s got to be possible and realistic,

So real; so to all y’all, can we kick it?

“Yes you can!” So let me use my words to

Give you confidence and reassure you.

Here’s her recipe for winning; I’ll start from the beginning:

Take two cups of preparation; now mix them

With a tablespoon of swagger and a pinch of boldness,

Half a cup of confidence will make you the coldest.

It’s so simple it’s scary,

You’ll get more A’s than the front of the dictionary.
