I'm just tryna graduate (ayy, I'm just tryna gra', yah)
May seventeenth, a queen can't wait (a queen, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait yo)
I'ma take flights to Kuwait (flights to Kuwait, yo)
And my whole life 'bout to be a long-ass break (be a long-ass, say, hey, yeah)
But I'm still workin' every goddamn day (work work work work work work work work)
'Cause a young queen gotta get paid
Uh, Sallie Mae want her shit back today (shit! Goddamn)
But I stay blessed, yes, [?]
Late nights, but we wake up late (we wake up late)
Chef in the stew from the moment that we wake (ch-chef, ch-chef, chef)
World tour, we were born to be great (yeah yeah yeah)
Weedin' out the ones, who real, who fake
We about to graduate (we about to, we-we about to)
Fuck grades
I just wanna sing on stage
Get to crib in the cuts so we can create
And the whip (skrt skrt!) so we can hit up [?]
We about to graduate, hey
Yo, we about to graduate
We about to graduate
We about to graduate (we about to, we-we about to)
Shoutout MLK for payin' the way (state scholarships, cha-ching! Scho-scholarships)
Family the loudest when they say our name
Stand up, Niambi and Thandiwe (that's my bae)
We about to graduate (we about to, we-we about to)
Shoutout to lessons learned in BK (we about to, we-we about to)
Nah, [?] my tribe away (we about to)
Mr. Gringo help us educate
Capstone got me ready
Lost friends over petty sh-
No trip, I can be a bitch
Like you can only ride wit' me if you in my clique
Nah, I know
New friends only family
Heard your mentor is a fan of me
And I promise I don't do this for my vanity
Went to school to say insanity
Senior thesis got me writin' sixty pages
Don't give a, because I'm famous
Psych, nah I'm playin'
Clean every word I'm sayin'
It will turn into a film and a book about our prayin'
Savin' Black minds and spirits
Speakin' truth for you can feel it
We pay homage to the [?] just a paper but it [?]
Now that I got my diploma
Whatchu finna do?
I'm finna roll up in the whole world and save the muhfucka
Oh, shit! What else?
What else? I'ma take seventeen thousand hours of sleep
You not gon' know where, but I'ma be naked on a beach
In the rainforest
Me too
Finish school kids
