College Days
IT'S EARLY AS I WHIPE THE SLEEP OUT MY EYES
I KNOW I NEED THIS EDUCATION
I WANT TO BE GREAT IN MY FAMILY'S MINDS
AS I WALK THROUGH THE CAMPUS
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN STORE
I THINK NOTHING OF IT WHEN I WALK INTO THE BOOK STORE
300 FOR THIS AND 400 FOR THAT
MAN I'M GLAD FINANCIAL AID HAS MY BACK
ALL THESE PRETTY GIRLS THAT SURROUND ME
MY NECK STAY SNAPPED
"ELIZABETH, I'M COMING!!"
AS I HAVE MY FRED SANFORD HEART ATTACK
I HAVE NICE TEACHERS AND THE OTHERS DON'T CARE
MY UPPER CLASSMAN EVEN TOLD ME "BEWARE"
BECAUSE SOME OF THESE TEACHERS ARE JUST HERE FOR CHECKS
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING
SO STUDENTS TEND TO ACT WRECKLESS
BUT BEING ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM HAD ITS UPS
IT PUSHED ME TO STAY IN THE FRONT OF CLASS
AND KEEP MY GRADES UP
BUT WITH EVERY UP CAME A DOWN
HUNG WITH THE TEAM ALL THE TIME
AND WE DRANK UNTIL WE DROWNED
I KNOW IT WAS A BAD HABIT BUT I COULDN'T BREAK IT
I WAS HAVING TOO MUCH FUN
NO CHASERS
I WAS DRINKIN STRAIGHT SHOTS UNTIL THE LIQUOR WAS GONE
BUT THEN IT ALL CAME TO AN END WHEN THOSE GRADES CAME IN
AND THERE WENT MY COLLEGE DAYS
THE END
