Then you get to a low point in your life where you firmly believe that college was probably a waste of time. We could have been "drug dealing, just to get by. Stacking money til it get sky high...Cuz there ain't no tuition for havin no ambition and ain't no loans for sittin yo ass at home. So we're forced to sell crack, rap, and get a job..."
You pick up those books your going to read
And not remember and you roll man.
You get that a associate degree, okay,
Then you get your bachelors, then you get your masters
Then you get your master's masters,
Then you get your doctorate,
You go man, then when everybody says quit
You show them those degrees man, when
Everybody says hey, you're not working,
Your not making any money,
You say look at my degrees and you look at my life,
Yeah i'm 52, so what, hate all you want,
But i'm smart, i'm so smart, and i'm in school,
And these guys are out here making
Money all these ways, and i'm spending mine to be smart.
You know why?
Because when i die, buddy, you know
What going to keep me warm, that right, those degrees
