Go to school. Build your future, my son. That's what they told me once, when I was Thirteen, nineteen, twenty. Now I Don't get, don't get any. Temp work blue is what it got or me. Call in our ronin secretary. Oh what jolly capers with my Forty-thousand-dollar piece of paper. [Forty thousand dollar piece of paper.] I don't know but I've been told [I don't know but I've been told] There's self-sufficiency, when I get old. [There's self-sufficiency, when I get old.] That I could make the changes I hold dear, [That I could make the changes I hold dear,] If I could find a way [If I could find a way] Away from here. [Away from here.] I've read that we suffer entitlement. Baby boomers controlling and Taking our rent. Where is the beautiful life that I was promised? They say we'll be fine if we s** it up. sh**'s been s**ing so much that we're All fed up. They tell us we're trying to find ourselves But when we show them our resume they find someone else. [Show them our resume they find someone else.], Because, I don't know but I've been told [I don't know but I've been told] There's self-sufficiency, when I get old.

[Away from here.] Community college dropout Name's Beef Thompson, I'm no boy scout You just go for moms and dads All the college life I've needed I got it all from Undergrads Taking cla**es you don't need In your tiny little dorm rooms smoking weed And pretending that you're deep when you ain't Creative writing major? Yo, that's so quaint Stressed out cause you're in debt For a tiny piece of paper that you won't get Unless you're willing to jump through all their hooops Yo I've prepared your last meal and here's your noose Not here only to scare ya I'm trying to prepare ya Because the four-year degree is the biggest lie in America. I don't know but I've been told [I don't know but I've been told] There's self-sufficiency, when I get old. [There's self-sufficiency, when I get old.] That I could make the changes I hold dear, [That I could make the changes I hold dear,] If I could find a way [If I could find a way] Away from here. [Away from here.] If I could suture a future to the past, If I could break the system from its grasp, I wouldn't have to rely on rock and roll To be the one commanding full Control. Yo I'm way bright and you know I was raised right But no books is open when I'm pulling an all night I'd rather get my masters is causing people laughter Cause it's so much more rewarding than just working on my grammar Never been cool and I'm far from a fool But you'll never hear me whine “I wish I went to a private school” Want a good job, well that's just fine I'mma work this stage and work this rhyme And remind myself that I'm an individual School is just a ritual in makin people miserable Got your BS in CS? GREAT! What's it like being another sheep scratching at the gate? Just remind yourself you'll have fun when you're done When you're just another drone – one zero zero one Wish ya good luck, frankly you're gonna need it You may think I'm getting cheated but I'll never be defeated NO!
