No i aint got a high school diploma No i aint got a masters degree But what you got to realize Is that you dont mean sh** to me Because what i wanna do in life Dont take no education What it takes is pure love and dedication Being told im gonna go nowhere Being told im gonna do nothing That sh** dont phase me b**h i aint bluffin Did ya really think all that sh** ya said that it would phase me Guess again you puto i'm already loco I know i can't turn back the time And i know i can't change my state of mind One thing that i know for sure Is even if i end up poor I'll still be strummin' my guitar I know i can't turn back the time And i know i can't change my state of mind One thing that i know for sure Is even if i end up poor I'll still be strummin' my guitar It was so long ago but not too far away Calumet park is where i used to stay And when i was a kid everything went right And now i'm growin' up and it seems to be going wrong So say what you want to say And do what you wanna do Take some words of advice from me to you Be yourself through and through I know i can't turn back the time And i know i can't change my state of mind One thing that i know for sure Is even if i end up poor I'll still be strummin' my guitar Say what you want now Say what you want now It has no effect on me Say what you want now Say what you want now
