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
