Verse 1: 0:22
they said i couldn't get a tattoo, that's for the rest of your life,
but go to college, pick the rest of your life,
pick a profession, and dress it, plan to reach for success and,
when it don't work out for you i hope that you get the message,

because we study everynight to pass a system built to fail us,
shit, so what does that entail us?
place high on our SAT's, and work for tuition cost's,
so we can apply to college that doesnt have room for us,

i swear that it's all a scam, i swear that it's all a joke,
im doing the best i can, so how can you tell me no,
they pick what i can and can't and slowly i'm losing hope,
so how can i get a grip when they won't hand me the ropes,

yo, i don't know how i'm supposed to live my own life,
when my very own parents say i dont do this right,
so i'll keep doing what i love, through hate,
before i turn around because it's too late,

1:10
Hook:
they tell me do this, they tell me do that,
and say but do what you wan't, yeah do what you want,
they tell me do this, they tell me do that,
and say but do what you wan't, yeah do what you want,

they taught me Hush little baby don't say a word,
Hush little baby don't say a word,
Hush little baby don't say a word,
don't say a word at all,

Verse 2: 1:33
They tell me do this, do that, and do the other shit,
And if you don't succeed in life you'll make your mother pissed,
i was taught if you don't sin then you wont go to hell,
and if you sin, they'll never know if you don't even tell,

i guess it makes sense, i went to church for 3 years,
just to figure out that i dont even wanna be here,
cause once you've been forgivin' so much it's ridiculous,
cause no one ever puts the effort in to go repent their sins,

i guess it is another day another dollar bruhh,
and you wont make a single cent less your a scholar bruh,
so i guess we gotta go and get our knowledge up,
we on our bankrupt, pay cut, way to college bruh,

i needa go and get a job to get experience,
but i can't get a single job without experience,
so i ain't hearing it, i'm setting for the top now,
so i can ride around my fucking city with the top down
