west side like gatsby

spent a hundred twenty g's for a piece of paper

and a piece of mind

i swore i could have found and i find that

these institutions designed for the uplifting

but got me caged up

mama bragging to her friends

yeah my baby's on the way now

too behind to get some a

turned into some pay

any day

now

but i play

now that i ain't got fact checked in years

never had to learn much

but ain't gripped the wheels in years

and for that

i take a quiz on

kind of hard to study facts

when you know exactly how it is at home

only job is keep kids who gon' be jobless in a couple years

with some loans up to their ears

so i got to split time between mastermind

and doing these itty-bitty medial assignments

call home like

what the time is?"
