Higher Education |
| For years I kept dreaming I was back at school |
| Maybe a sign that I return to education |
| And go back to do some more academics, so accordingly |
| I enrolled in twenty, eleven to go and do a law degree |
| And I was 33, some others they were much younger |
| Didn’t consider all the pressure it would put them under |
| Some of them only showed up for the student loan |
| Come in late, gossiping in class and wouldn’t do the homework |
| Then complain to me, the Teacher don’t like them, so |
| Wanna make a formal complaint, I’m like «aight then» |
| But I put my head down and did a lot of reading |
| In the morning, in the afternoon, then in the evening |
| Constitutional law’s political |
| And also studied contract law and criminal, yo' |
| I didn’t really hang with anyone at first |
| And kept myself to myself until I was immersed in a routine |
| Then I socialised with a couple youngers |
| And tried to stay away from groups with abundant numbers |
| And didn’t get involved in he say-she say |
| And yo I treated all my lecturers like DJ’s |
| When I didn’t understand, I asked them «take it from the top» |
| The amount of work we had to learn was far too much |
| But this is higher education not a game of checkers |
| And I’m a diamond, so I can handle any pressure |
| Verse Two |
| A competition for debating and when it concluded |
| My team was crowned the champions and we were undisputed |
| Somebody asked me who trained you? |
| «You too nice» |
| I told em' I’ve performed in front of crowds my whole life |
| But then I had a glitch in my second year of study |
| I fell short on a test, I wasn’t on the money |
| It was a difficult subject, it’s land |
| And most of what they told us, yo' I didn’t understand |
| But I make no excuses and gotta make improvements |
| I guess this kind of thing can happen when you just a student |
| So I got some more books and began to read further |
| Took my attitude of music and became the hardest worker |
| And my Father would have been proud to see me reach higher |
| In an academic field, but he passed a year prior |
| And that kinda got to me to really tell the truth |
| But didn’t stop my test scores going through the roof in year three |
| You catch me sitting at the front |
| Cos the back was reserved for the ones who smoke blunts |
| All the way through lunch and trying to hide it from the lecturer |
| And now they asking me for notes to be catching up |
| I graduated in twenty fourteen |
| And when I go to sleep I get no more dreams of going back to school |
| So I guess the job’s done |
| Bachelors Law degree, LLB 2:1 mutha… |
