Lyrics to: The College Life
Verse 1
[They say it's cool to be in school man...I Least that's what I heard...CUNY...(You got a scholarship? big up to you) SUNY...Community College...University...Nabruesion...Historically black colleges...un-huh...Gochii...big up to all y'all...Check it]
Check out how I polish my sound
To the point I draw the right crowd
and talk about the college lifestyle
Age eighteen out on my own
no parents crowding my zone
do what I want now that I'm grown
this day couldn't come fast enough
so drunk that some class I cut
headache and hungover from the frat party
gradually
get back to the road to that degree
maybe tomorrow we'll pack arbys
Til then y'all I'm a stop
head to the dorm call mom and pop
say I'm doin' good and promise I
visit them when I get a break
term paper hope I get a "A"
finished it stayin' up all night
cause my scholarship only cover the price
of tuition if I get good grades
like I can pull "A's"
all the time just not on good days
cause everybody knows suspicion tha-tha-tha-that wou-wou-would raise
Hook 2xTimes
You gotta like
the college life
it's outta sight
we got our colors, we party alot of night
we represent our school we give it alot of hype
and we study extra hard cause this is the college life
Verse 2
[Check it out...Yo!..College y'all]
I've determined
I'm not here for only higher learning
I am working
so when I leave I am certain
In the work force I am earnin'
Cheese that is
green that's big
pull up on the block and tease that kid
that laugh at me for goin to school
knowin them dudes they don't care though
I stayed focus stayed on the clear road
got good grades like "A's" no zeros
listen to what I say to your earlobe
parents knew from the age of a year old
I'd be college bound
I be droppin that knowlegde down
it is what it is and y'all cannot silence the sound
but professor
I'm perplexed sir
please dont fail me the semester
I cheated I messed up
least I came clean and I confessed up
I ain't have time to study
my schedule is a challenge
(Well now you know young man college is about balance GOODBYE!)
[aww...sigh]
Hook 2xTimes
You gotta like

Verse 3
[yea]
I couldn't walk away without touchin' on
girls walking around without nothin' on
at spring break in cancun
on the sunny beach gettin tans too
OMG this is brand new
to the freshman
next question
can I get your number - just text me
no problem yes sexy
after that we back to the campus
you didn't do nothin' have some manners
it's too late now you had your chances
we goin' back home
back to the zone
back to the books, back to the dorm
back to the woods, back to where its calm
full time schedule back to the long
days and nights back to the norm
sweet thing is once we start classes
in a few weeks it's our classic
numero uno March Madness
mascots and sports barackets
Our school doin' them in
whole crowd screamin' in unison
we cheering them on so our dudes could win
this is college - YOU IN?

You gotta like

Ending
You gotta like

we got our colors, we party alot of night
we represent our school we give it alot of hype
and we study extra hard cause this is the college life
[That's college yall...yessir....college is where it's at...I know college not for everybody but if you get a chance to go take advantage of it...They say over the course of a lifetime it's a good look...I'm going back to school too!]
