《College》歌词

[00:00:00] College - Lil' Mama

[00:00:01] Now that I think about it

[00:00:03] I was always takin away from my father

[00:00:06] Or he was always takin away from me

[00:00:08] It's probably why we so close now

[00:00:10] Ya know

[00:00:11] We been starving so long in these crazy ghetto streets

[00:00:16] And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat

[00:00:22] How long will he struggle

[00:00:24] I gotta grind just to eat now

[00:00:27] I gotta eat just a lil now

[00:00:29] So I gotta live my life this way

[00:00:32] I stretched and yawned

[00:00:33] 4 years from a newborn

[00:00:34] On a charter bus

[00:00:36] Filled with stranged humans

[00:00:37] Besides my mother nobody seems anxious

[00:00:40] Though we on our way to visit a college campus

[00:00:42] We roll up freshen up at a food concession

[00:00:45] Can't talk to strangers

[00:00:46] I wanna ask em questions

[00:00:48] Saw a woman crying

[00:00:49] Boy face the fence

[00:00:50] I don't wanna go to college

[00:00:52] If it causes this

[00:00:53] Back on the bus still analyzin vibes

[00:00:55] Turned to my moms excel asked her

[00:00:57] "why you cryin "

[00:00:58] She said because I'm happy

[00:00:59] But I could tell she lying

[00:01:01] And since lyin was a curse

[00:01:02] I sense storytelling

[00:01:04] Her eyes focused on a object long enough they tingle

[00:01:06] That's when she reached into her bag because her phone was ringin

[00:01:09] She said "I accept"

[00:01:10] I'm still puzzle piecing

[00:01:11] I knew my pops was on the other line

[00:01:13] Lonely singing

[00:01:14] We been starving so long in these crazy ghetto streets

[00:01:19] And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat

[00:01:25] How long will he struggle

[00:01:27] I gotta grind just to eat now

[00:01:30] I gotta eat just a lil now

[00:01:33] So I gotta live my life this way

[00:01:35] Soon after we roll up to these gates

[00:01:36] Barbed wired up

[00:01:37] Men standin in the entrance armed up

[00:01:40] With a close eye on us

[00:01:41] We enter the building

[00:01:43] Got checked by the women who staring

[00:01:44] My mother

[00:01:45] Pull out a card with a picture of her face on it

[00:01:48] Two papers with our names on it

[00:01:51] They identify her

[00:01:52] They lookin at me

[00:01:53] Me my confusion of the journey

[00:01:55] Thorugh these walls we go

[00:01:57] Before the next one opens

[00:01:59] The past one must close

[00:02:01] As they check for proper clothes

[00:02:03] My mama so prepared

[00:02:04] For this mini battle has chose

[00:02:06] Finally we reach our final destination

[00:02:08] My poppa placed in a seat

[00:02:10] Facin me

[00:02:11] No women in his class

[00:02:13] Jus men who never laugh

[00:02:15] And when they see they family

[00:02:16] They sing

[00:02:18] We been starving so long in these crazy ghetto streets

[00:02:23] And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat

[00:02:28] How long will he struggle

[00:02:31] I gotta grind just to eat now

[00:02:33] I gotta eat just a lil now

[00:02:36] So I gotta live my life this way

[00:02:38] So I begin my investigation

[00:02:40] My elbow on the round table

[00:02:41] My palm at chin

[00:02:42] I'm lookin at him

[00:02:43] Ask questions like

[00:02:45] "how you been "

[00:02:46] "when you graduatin "

[00:02:47] Time was up got pulled away

[00:02:48] Kickin and screamin

[00:02:49] Tears came to his eyes

[00:02:50] But never fell in front me

[00:02:52] Got old enough to realize

[00:02:53] Must've fell up under me

[00:02:54] Bein locked away in prison from your family

[00:02:56] Tryin to find ways for us to eat

[00:02:58] I see

[00:03:00] We been starving so long in these crazy ghetto streets

[00:03:05] And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat

[00:03:10] How long will he struggle

[00:03:13] I gotta grind just to eat now

[00:03:15] I gotta eat just a lil now

[00:03:18] So I gotta live my life this way

[00:03:21] We been starving so long in these crazy ghetto streets

[00:03:26] And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat

[00:03:31] How long will he struggle

[00:03:34] I gotta grind just to eat now

[00:03:37] I gotta eat just a lil now

[00:03:39] So I gotta live my life this way
