Higher Education - Funky DL

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…
