Life After

A couple of appearance and your done You've passed all the requirements nonchanlantly you cheer cause you've finally received the key to the prison that you've been trapped in for years You receive your diploma Now high school's over Life begins and the real world starts yanking you by the throat letting less air through the hole pressuring you to be something to do anything productive As soon as summer heat hits you know your gonna need money cause outside in the real world it's expensive and jobs are a necessity but few are acquirable So you rely on parents that are so intolerable Tryna pave a way do better than what they say they want better for you they want you to achieve the sun, the earth, and the moon Competition overseas makes us lose revenue because of globalization less jobs are attainable and we sweat and we work hard tryna earn the paycheck that will save us from being poor we want a different score A different area code we want better therefore life after high school Is simply the beginning
