It's always like that...
You think you do pretty decently at first. Then so many people around you go "Oh shit my score is so shit it really sucks it's damn bad I'm so sad I'm crying I'm damn super upset I wanna kill myself I really should have done better I feel like crap I'm sure you did better than me how much did you get"
Then they get 99%. Or whatever the hell it is, they get higher than me.
How do you f***ing think that f***ing makes me feel man.
Got some really appropriate songs (or rather, skits) for this. Somehow it seems that whatever albums I get, there'll be some appropriate songs for me to use in relation to my life in that point in time. Maybe I should start buying happier-sounding albums...
Now beat that!
And your mother's sayin' "Go to college!"
So you finish college and it's wonderful
You feel so good
And after all the partying and crazing
And don’t forget about that drug habit you picked up at school bein' around your peers
Hey! Now you'll get that 25 thou job a year and
You'll spend all your money on crack cocaine, but it'll be your money
No more borrowin' from mom for my high
So now you get your degree tattooed on your back you're so excited about it
If you continue to work at the GAP, after several interviews, oh my god!
You'll come in at an entry level position and when you do that
If you kiss enough ass, you'll move up to the next level
Which is being a secretary's secretary!
And boy is that great, you get to take messages for the secretary
Who never went to college
She's actually the boss' niece, so now you're part of the family
You know what college does for you?
It makes you really smart man
All you kids want to talk in the back of the class, not me, I listened, okay?
I was a hall monitor, this was meant to be
You know how many classes I took, extra classes extra classes
No I've never had sex but you know what, my degree keeps me satisfied
When a lady walks to me says "Hey you know what's sexy?"
I say "No, I don't know what it is, but I bet I can add up all the change in your purse very fast"
You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling
You pick up all those books that you're going to read
And not remember and you roll man
You get that a sociate degree, okay
Then you get your bachelors, then you get your masters
Then you get your master's masters
Then you get your doctrine, you go man
And then when everybody says quit
You show them those degrees man
When everyone says, "Hey
You're not working, you're not making any money"
You say, "You look at my degrees and you look at my life
Yeah I'm 52, so what, hate all you want
But I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school
And these guys are out here making money all these ways
And I'm spending mine to be smart
You know why?
Because when I die, buddy, you know what's going to keep me warm?
That's right, those degrees"
"Lil' Jimmy Skit" by Kanye West
Hey Jimmy where you goin'?
I dont know where I'm going
My Dad died, and he left me his degrees
My mom would always say, "Dad, why don't you work?"
But he just kept learning
All the other kid's parents were working and saving up money for school
And I was actually in school all when my dad was in school!
He was so greedy with degrees, he took MY degree!
And now I'm just glad he left me these
Because all the regular homeless people have newspaper, and look what I have
These are documented
My father left them to me
And I'm going to leave them to my kids
I'm going to learn too
I'm going to get super smart, so I too can die without money
But I'll be the smartest dead guy
Who has that?
