“ Everybody is expecting 'It's Me Bitches' or 'Money in the Bank', I just want to use my opportunity to get a little more serious in the artist department, as a performer and lyricist. Not giving a f--- about radio and all that. I just want to give hip-hop something that's not on the radio. A lot of the songs I got can blend in on the radio, but 'School of Hard Knocks' don't blend in with nothing on the radio. I'm already in full mode. What they want me to do? Let's get it. I'm busting shots early — bong, bong!
The title is between Life After the Party and Remember Hip-Hop," he continued. "I'm in between them. I don't even have a date on my joint. I'm just feeling out the scene.

[Chorus - Swizz Beatz]
Do you wanna fly, could you be my co-pilot, pilot
You said you wanna fly
Do you wanna fly, could you be my co-pilot, pilot
I’ll take you up in the air
I’ll take you out again
[Junior Reid]
Did you ever try making love to your girl in the sky

Champagne fly, high grade, so high
Have you ever tried making love to your girl in the sky
(Have you ever tried making love to your girl in the sky)

[Swizz Beatz - Verse 1]
Baby girl we are going, going, gone
That cloud, we are floating, floating on
Sit back and put your seat belt, seat belt on
I’m the Pilot, you my Co so let’s get it on
I can take you on shopping spree’s across the world
Everybody in the world know that you are my girl
I’’ll blow that marijuana tree straight up in the air
I walk around cause I don’t care
I got that change in my pocket switch to heavy metal
That black card let you know I am out the ghetto
Never forget the ghetto cause I love the ghetto
I’m in that Porsche GT I am touching metal

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg- Verse 2]
Come fly the friendly skies, it’s like a piece of pie
Its a story, amore?, look in my eyes
Now fasten your seatbelt and crack the moon
You like that? Well like that, now write back
Got too, now rock two now pop two
Shake it and bake it, take it all
Roll with me baby doll, we can see the universe
Do things that you like
Fly you in a jet and have you watching Satellites
You ever done that?
Show you where the fun at
I do that, you knew that
I run that, now come back
Hold that, now roll that
We bossed up in another dimension
Before you rool Dogg, get ya parents permission
We out

[Chorus]

[Swizz Beatz - Verse 3]
S-N double O-P is down with me
Plus he blowin’ them Chronic trees I’m listening to D-R-E
Some people say the weed could save ya
Thats why they roll it up in Bible paper
Cruising down the highway it’s about that time
To smoke some good weed so I can blow my mind
I aint doing crimes, why the police always wanna f-ck with me
One time (one time), two times (two times)
(Weed break)
Inhale exhale, exhale inhale
You know we love the way the good weed smell
So so…

[Chorus]

[Junior Reid]

She never forget, she getting love in a private jet
She never forget, she getting love in a private jet
