JT the Iriginal - I Don't Want to Go to College lyrics

[Intro]: Well I've been livin' ever since 1995 and ya know, after seventeen years people keep tellin' me the same sh**, keep talkin' 'bout somethin' I just can't stand, tryna' mislead me and ruin me I know ya know who ya are, so ya betta take note [Verse 1]: Well this is for all my family and friends Who keep telling me about one thing and it never ends It's always the same old sh** So I got one thing to say and it's this I don't want to go to college Like I said before I don't believe I need the knowledge It would be nothing but a waste of my time I'd rather stay right here and keep writin' these rhymes Ya tell me if I don't go my future won't be steady But I've been in school for 11 years already And they were nothing but a bore So why would I spend my money on another four To sit in motha f**in' desk And write essays again and take tests Last year my GPA was 3.6 But that doesn't change sh** I don't care about it They put me in advanced cla**es like I.B. English But I just can't stand it cause it's meaningless All this academic sh**, it's hard to absorb it If I wanted to go to college I couldn't even afford it And don't talk to me about scholarships You know I don't care about all that sh** How hard is it for you to understand this Ya won't find me on a college campus But it's really none of your concern You've said enough already and now it's my turn So let me say don't bother talkin' bout my life I won't take your advice I'll do whatever I like Ya always telling me to listen Well f** your input and f** your opinion I don't want to go to college and ya all worked up But ya have no reason to give a f** so shut up [Break 1]: Ya ya betta quit yappin' f** ya proposal, f** what ya have to say Ya can't waist my go damn time ya b**h f** an a**ociates degree, f** a bachelor's and a master's degree, and don't even mention a good damn PhD or any of that sh** [Verse 2]: The college board is always tryna' contact me Trying to put me in a motha f**in' university Always talkin' bout the SAT Because they just can't stay away from me Adults give me sh** and sometimes people my own age But what the f** do they have to do with how my life will be arranged People are always telling me That not going to college is a felony My family says they're through with me Telling me my decisions will ruin me And if I don't go I'll have no opportunities But what the f** does their opinion have to do with me You call yourself experienced Makin' everything so serious You're more concerned about my life than ya are about yours Why don't ya just start walkin' and head right out the door Cause I don't want to hear your sh** You keep talkin' 'bout the same thing and I've had enough of it I don't wanna go and if you try to persuade me I can guarantee you I won't even give you a maybe I'll give ya nothin' but a big fat no N-o ya can't make me go But ya still keep asking me And now ya doing nothin' but hara**in' me Ya talk to me about a master's degree But you should know it doesn't matter to me I don't wanna go and that's a simple concept How hard is it for you accept And I might end up livin' in a cardboard box On the side of the street with some hard knocks But even if it comes to that you should know College is one place where I just won't go [Break 2]: f**in' scholarships, grants, f**in' loans, there's no difference, just a god damn application, and debt f** the office of undergraduate admissions, ya can't take m money, ya can't take my time, ya can't take my life I really don't have a choice I'm livin in the lower-middle cla** so I don't drive a Rolls Royce I don't have 100,000 dollars in the bank It takes me half a month's work to fill up my gas tank So how do you expect me to afford to go to college Or a trade school or whatever you wanna call it And don't talk to me about student loans I'd rather be fifty years old and living in my parents' home Than be in debt for the rest of life Every night livin' off stale bread and overcooked white rice Ya know that lifestyle's sh** I'd rather be independent and livin' in a ditch 'Cause that would be better than spendin' all this money To go to college and have my damn nose be runny From smellin' all that motha f**in' bullsh** 'Cause I can promise you that's all that school is And you could never make me live in a dorm And if ya didn't know well now you've been informed That I'm not the norm, and college is where ya won't find me Because ya can't institutionalize me I tell ya I don't wanna go and you can't handle it Ya mad as f** and you can't understand it Well that's your problem and not mine It's none of my concern so quit wasting my time Ya say I'm nothing but a dead weight to society Tellin' me that I got no propriety Well f** your expectations f** an education and I don't need an explanation And if I don't go there would be nothin' you could do But I guarantee I'd never end up like you I don't wanna go to college and I meant it f** the penitentiary of academics [Outro]: And that's the truth Community colleges, state universities, private universities, technical institutions, medical schools, law schools, liberal arts schools, for-profit, nonprofit, its all the same sh** Can't rob me of my life, f** whatcha sayin'
