Funky Dl Higher Education
Chorus
Higher education (x2)
Verse One
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
Chorus
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...
