[Verse 1]
Yeah
They say college is knowledge but whats the price tag
Invest in debt, make money, pay it right back
They charging 30k a year and I'm staring at my mom like
Where's the cash at
Son they must be thinking we on fat stacks
She ain't say that but something like that
I know it hurts her
But I laugh back
She tears up cause in her head is flashbacks
Of how she lived
And worked for her kids
Just to give us a better chance than she had
So I understand why she sad
Man rarely is she glad
I said
I'ma put a end to that
I'll even put a friend on that
Wow
And I don't usually say that
But seeing my momma cry is something else and I hate that
God
Why I bring up this conversation
Cause I know the answer
Money is the situation
No jersey shore
Am I worthy for it
The odds against me
I'll get dirty for it
I guess I have too
I don't have a choice
I'm 18 now
I'm a grown boy
On my huggies sh**
You a big kid now
Enough talking go ahead and do it now
Lawyer or doctor
Doctor or lawyer
They needed in the real world
They will employ ya
That's all I ever hear
Don't it annoy ya

Reporting live
From my other side
Mom I love you I promise that I'ma do it for ya
I hate making promises that I can't keep
Especially ones that seem so outta reach
I know
What you can't teach
Have walls
That you can't breach
Next morning transform into Yao Ming
What was that about reach huh?
Nothing more than that chitter chatter
It's time to conquer
On some Hitler status
Little things aside
Like I been facist
Mussolini
I need me a gini
To complete all the wishes I have within me
Or
Just a little dedication
A lot of hard work
And to be hungry like starvation
Back to my momma's conversation
Been gone from it long it feels like a vacation
Tell her I love her and put nothing above her
And right before I walk off I say the biggest key is patience
Yeah the biggest key is patience
