Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
High school kid, graduating '23 Way too many options for my future for just one of me But every single industry I see and that appeals to me Does not require GEDs, you just need creativity Man, all this college talk is making my head hurt I never was the best at school, I'd rather make bread first I'd rather do a lot of things than sit in a classroom Another 4 more years, especially if I don't have to I'm stuck up on the fence, don't know what option is best yet Either financial freedom, or live a life that's got debt stress But when people keep on asking what I'm doing when I graduate I tell them what they wanna hear, "College my next step" But when I say that shit, deep down it's not what I mean I'll be paying till my forties and I'm age seventeen I asked my teacher, "What you thinking, maybe it's not for me" And his response went something like this, he was saying to me... "I still got debt I need to pay that's from 2003 But go to college and I promise you'll be better than me" "Go and pursue something that you don't really wanna go be It's either get that degree or be a bum in the streets" "Man, look around at these big houses in our community If you go to MIT then that's where you gonna be" "You better go pursue a major that you don't wanna be It's either get that degree or be a bum in the streets" "If you keep pursuing music, in ten years you'll be broke Because I know you ain't the next Drake, or Kanye or Cole" "And I don't mean to be cold, but the real world is cold So stick to the status quo or you'll be in the street cold" "I know you want that Moncler coat but I don't think that you see That every kid that bought it's father went to university" "You better go pursue a major that you don't wanna be It ain't no if's or buts about it, you gone get a degree, you see?" I still got shit I need to pay that's from 2018 My dad flew in from Medellin for the American Dream But they was tryna contracept it, give me problems, contra-sense it Don't mean to be condescending, you won't get shit for free You see, I just turned 23, and it took a bit to realize Everything they told you as a kid is not the real life School was teaching real lies, lunch I used to steal fries Buried in financial obligation, man, I'm real tight F*ck it, radical about to pop these hoes ain't changing nothing I'm the nigga that you talk off, highest topic of discussion I had a signed a deal with satan, but God took me out the ruckus College dropout bout to light ya spliff and leave your high ass buzzing Had a conversation 'bout an outstanding payment When God shows me I made it, I'mma stay on my same shit So f*ck being a sellout, nigga, pullin' a laneswitch And when it's radical and spazz you know it's gone be dangerous "I still got debt I need to pay that's from 2003 But go to college and I promise you'll be better than me" "Go and pursue something that you don't really wanna go be It's either get that degree or be a bum in the streets" "Man, look around at these big houses in our community If you go to MIT then that's where you gonna be" "You better go pursue a major that you don't wanna be It's either get that degree or be a bum in the streets" "If you keep pursuing music, in ten years you'll be broke Because I know you ain't the next Drake, or Kanye or Cole" "And I don't mean to be cold, but the real world is cold So stick to the status quo or you'll be in the street cold" "I know you want that Moncler coat but I don't think that you see That every kid that bought it's father went to university" "You better go pursue a major that you don't wanna be It ain't no if's or buts about it, you gone get a degree, you see?" So Zach, uh I mean, clearly you have some big dreams But what would you say to someone who said you were, uh Selfish? I mean they'd be right
