Kevin - Higher Learning lyrics

Verse 1 When I think about it this sh** mean way much to me So when I'm doing it ain't doing it for profiting My mom's budgeting Late night planning things And she making all those calculations trynna make a means Diamonds and blings Cars is on rims Or whatever, or whatever that's a pricey thing Wonder if those, wonder if those f**ing priorities Will help me in anyway become, become a better being Even a king I ain't staying a prince forever Collect my dreams Make sh** to come together Pushing my heat Under any and every weather Whether I make it that's his own way Thought I ain't looking for no easy pay Each and every day Trynna less the pain Ain't much to lose but a whole that's up to gain Man I was raised by game Where we're ain't fazed by fame Ain't Common Sense ain't the only n***a who beat the grave Hook I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning Verse 2 I sit and wonder, “What's important in the rap game?” Who doing this? Who doing that? Who got the most chains? Who got paid most by Forbes last year? sh**, can I make this even more clear? I guess, when I put my name on that paper Money will be the only thing that will seem to matter What? f** that! I don't need no favors I'm more real sh** now and some sh** never Should've seen the face on my momma when I told her “I ain't gone be no doctor, nor a lawyer” And money ain't the sh** that I'm after, not important But see I'm working hard as hell to get that “A For Effort” My n***as live their lives like they're in the gutters Cause a n***a's life wasn't built to prosper Good Lord Them n***as wear no rubbers And be surprised and sh** when they see the outcome Good Lord. Ha, good Lord Hook I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning I'm in search of some higher learning Verse 3 Don't let me mention all the mantions If not Maybach that it's Phantom All the tension with fellow pears The pa**ion man is far from real Looking at Hov like, “I wanna be him, if I can't then I gotta beat him” No one believe me till I believe me I'm sixteen spiting sixteens I rhyme better you plus other six teens
