University Of Life

Welcome to the university of life, gather 'round and take a seat students,
I’m your substitute for the night
'Cus you might think you’re doin' it right. I thought it too up until I learned
my lesson now it’s the lesson plan that I offer you
Study history, learn from the mistakes of those who came before you so you can
make it through life differently and
Take economics, a business class if you got it. Had to learn that for myself
when people got up in my pockets
'Cus the school of hard-knocks is full of roadblocks and potholes and semester
after semester life is a long road
You gotta take some risks 'cus if you livin' dangerous just know that there’s
consequences for the way you live
Because expulsion from life is permanent. Ain’t no principals offices,
church services so for all my fallen classmates
I tip this bottle of bourbon and pour it out as I question what this life is
all about. That’s when they told me
Welcome to the university of life now
If you didn’t know before then you 'gon find out
This is real life, don’t be surprised how that I am all grown up
Gotta study psychology so you readin' people properly and learn to see the
world through the perspective of philosophy
I’ve always loved anatomy. I mean understandably but I played it safe 'cus I
ain’t ready for family
'Cus I’m still working on myself and that’s the mission, as taxes in my
business' expenses became tuition ain’t no wishin'
On a star, real life comes at a cost so crawl before you walk and listen more
than you talk
Take your lessons as a blessing raise ya hand and ask questions.
We all got ADD but pay attention
No (prisons or no testin') that could give you preparation live with zero
hesitation yo this life is what you make it
Gotta take it, any records that they set just go and break it! I’d rather have
detention than follow and be complacent
'Cus when I hit my lowest and started loosin' focus and everything around me
seemed hopeless that’s when they told me
Welcome to the university of life now
If you didn’t know before then you 'gon find out
This is real life, don’t be surprised how that I am all grown up
Yeah, keep that sunshine on my side, so I know it’s 'gon be alright
Follow me and Ima be your guide, leave your worries behind, yeah
These mistakes that I’m takin' home taught me everythin' I know
Now I’m here to help you grow, woah woah yeah
Welcome to the university of life now
If you didn’t know before then you 'gon find out
This is real life, don’t be surprised how that I am all grown up…
