local btn = script.Parent.Parent.Print

function onclick()
print(text)

this script is not the problem

the problem is that your setting text to a string and that'll never change. but having an object in a variable will have properties that change.

local text = script.Parent
local btn = script.Parent.Parent.Print

function onclick()
print(text.Text)
end

btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onclick)
