Graduate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've been turning living rooms into life rooms
We've been turning living rooms into life rooms
Four years of school to get to college
Four years of bad for a degree
It's easier to master knowledge
Than it is to master me
But I'm making this my graduation party
It took awhile for me to make it here
When I showed up the ceremony started
I threw my cap up in the air, ooh
All I know, I gotta graduate
Can't stay here forever, gotta graduate
Old things pass away when I graduate
All things become new when I graduate
Thank the Lord that I'm much smarter
Than I'd ever thought I'd be
I won't fail again, I promise
Hey, that's a promise that I gotta keep
So I'm making this my graduation party
It took awhile for me to make it here
When I showed up the ceremony started
I threw my cap up in the air, ooh
All I know, I gotta graduate
Can't stay here forever, gotta graduate
Anybody help me try to graduate
Gotta grow up now, graduate
I've gotta, graduate
Yeah I've gotta graduate
Oh, I know it's time I better graduate
Gotta move on, graduate
What was once in the windshield, is now in my rear view, graduate
The Enemy gonna have to come up with something new (graduate)
'Cause I ain't gon' like news 'til I graduate
Graduate, ooh, graduate
Ooh, graduate (I gotta)
Ooh, graduate
Ooh, graduate
Ooh, graduate (gotta graduate)
Ooh, yeah
Keep it going
Graduation
You gotta celebrate
Graduate
Today you are great
Graduation
Has arrived
It's upon ya
You're going to the next level
Next level
