Before We Go is the first song in Little Miss Perfect. It is sung by Mariah Rose Faith, D'Marreon Alexander and Savannah Fisher.

## About

The song is about Noelle, Elijah, and Imani realizing that they all want to do different things in life, and they may not be able to be as close friends in the future.

## Lyrics

[IMANI]

First acceptance, time is of the essence

My perfect attendance is revoked

[ELIJAH]

This morning is our final warning

Separate futures forming, it's no joke

[NOELLE]

Let's make a pact:

That we will stay in tact

Even when the movie fades to black

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

I'll still have your back

[IMANI]

And how this story ends, no way to know

So let's have some fun before we go...

[ELIJAH]

I can almost taste it

When I finally make it

I'll get a chance and take it

Soon, the NBA will pay me

[IMANI]

I can see it:

Harvard Law and me

More than a degree

The Johnson legacy I'm keepin'

[NOELLE]

I just need to keep my head above the water

My path may be unclear

But it for sure goes father

[IMANI. ELIJAH & NOELLE]

Junior year's the catalyst

I know that I can handle this

[ELIJAH]

If I score the three...

[IMANI]

If I ace AP...

[NOELLE]

I just need a C...

[ELIJAH]

Impress all the scouts...

[NOELLE]

Try to get some clout...

[IMANI]

Stick to the route...

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

And I'm on my way!

[ELIJAH] *(Noelle)*

But today:

It's time for a little success recess *(aye!)*

Already missed the bus, so, I guess

We might as well take a break *(Might as well take a break!)*

[IMANI]

Just for today

We might as well take a leave from achieving

We know exactly what we believe in

[NOELLE] *(Imani)*

What difference does a morning make? *(Does a morning make?)*

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

This morning is our final warning

Separate futures forming

Being good is boring

[ELIJAH]

I will score the three...

[IMANI]

I will ace AP...

[NOELLE]

It's just a C...

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

How hard can it be?

[ELIJAH]

The team believes in me!

[IMANI]

What have we got to lose?

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

So today

It's time for a little success recess

Already missed the bus, so, I guess

We might as well take a break!

Just for today

We might as well take a leave from achieving

We know exactly what we believe in

What difference does a morning make?

[NOELLE]

Junior year's theme is redemption

I should still address depression

Make up work, make an impression

Make sure I'll get an acceptance

[IMANI & ELIJAH]

But this could be the end of the trio

[NOELLE]

So let's have some fun before we go!

[IMANI & ELIJAH]

It's time for a little success recess

[NOELLE]

Already missed the bus, I guess

[IMANI & ELIJAH]

We might as well take a break!

Let's take a break!

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

Just for today

We might as well take a leave from achieving!

[IMANI, spoken]

Should we?

[NOELLE, spoken]

Okay....

[IMANI, ELIJAH & NOELLE]

Today

It's time for a little success recess!

Already missed the bus, so, I guess

We might as well take a break

Let's take a break!

Just for today...

We might as well take a leave from achieving

We already know what we believe in!
