[Intro: Intellect]
Thank God that we made it
School we really hated
This is graduation, It couldn't come fast enough
Thank God that we made it
School wasn't my favorite
Since we educated, the whole world is ours
Got degrees and diplomas, proud to walk cross that stage
[Verse 1: Intellect]
Finally graduated, I'll be the first to say it
School I hated, but I'm glad I made it
It made me a beast and I mated
With these beats I'm the greatest
Plus I'm educated, to all teachers that's hated
All the girls that played him, all the lames that's stated
I'll never blow up I'm deflated, look at what he facing
Short Black Kid, 3.5 Grade average, But he decided on Rapping
I'm still going To college to get my degree
High school taught me to love me for me
My flaws I let them all bare, my heart is polar you think Santa's there
Hot headed like a salon chair, play girls like a radio we never on air
I hit it stick it then Bon voyage -dear, I ball like Jordan or Lebron here
Watch me hit the Jay like Solonge dare, me to elevate us until they stare
[Hook: China & Intellect]
This is graduation, so glad we made it, we graduated, we out here baby!
[Verse 2: Intellect]
I'm the Valedictorian, validating my historic win
Against all odds, giving thanks To God, That we made it
Cause now a days its more court dates than graduations
More funerals than B-day Celebrations, are we k**ers cause they paint us
300 years of brainwashing will taint us, Instead of Degree's they detain us
I know we way more than Ball players and entertainers
We need to embrace each other since they trying retain us
Look how we came up, still that enough
Decisions On Higher Learning vs Hired Working
In the long run which gets Higher Earnings
Remember You can beat your battles, when you on the ropes turn it to a la**o
Catch your dreams we King & queens build your castle
Now your ta**el, and let that cap go
[Pre-Bridge: China]
We Made it, we made it, we made it we made it
We made it, we made it, we made it
Put your hands up if you made it, Put your hands up if you made it
[Bridge: Intellect & China]
[Breakdown: Intellect]
Chitown, My town, Chitown, My Town
City where it go down, city where it go down
It's going down we coming up, on the road to success it's a couple bumps
But we driving, we like the skyline in
The sky the way we shine, it's our time, if we, unify, we will defy
All odds against chitown, imagine if we spread love now
Stand up, (stand up) spread love (spread love)
I said spread love ( spread love) stand up (stand up )
Move your feet, step with me
Reach your dreams, watch how great will be
