Teachers in the family
It was a part of me
Cousins working on those degrees
Let’s keep it together please
Church every Sunday
What you know about me
Nothing I see
If you ever thought I didn’t deserve
Anything
Worked my way to that degree
That was my grandfather’s legacy
Everyone helped me to finish
But some days I felt so diminished
Got college loans up the wazoo
Haha I know someone who
Had the way paid for them
But I don’t think you know him
Don’t speak because you don’t have a clue
Who you are really looking up to
