College (feat. Yirayah)

Now that I think about it
 I was always takin away from my father
 Or he was always takin away from me
 It's probably why we so close now
 Ya kno
 We been starvin so long in these crazy ghetto streets
 And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat
 How long will i struggle?
 I gotta grind jus to eat now
 I gotta eat jus a lil now
 So I gotta live my life this way
 I stretched and yawned
 4 years from a newborn
 On a charter bus
 Filled with stranged humans
 Besides my mother nobody seems anxious
 Though we on our way to visit a college campus
 We roll up freshen up at a food concession
 Can't talk to strangers
 I wanna ask em questions
 Saw a woman cryin
 Boy face the fence
 I don't wanna go to college
 If it causes this
 Back on the bus still analyzin vibes
 Turned to my moms excel asked her
 'Why you cryin? '
 She said because I'm happy
 But I could tell she lyin
 And since lyin was a curse
 I sense storytellin
 Her eyes focused on a object long enough they tingle
 That's when she reached into her bag because her phone was ringin
 She said 'I accept'
 I'm still puzzle piecin
 I knew my pops was on the other line
 Lonely singin
 We been starvin so long in these crazy ghetto streets
 And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat
 How long will i struggle?
 I gotta grind jus to eat now
 I gotta eat jus a lil now
 So I gotta live my life this way
 Soon after we roll up to these gates
 Barbed wired up
 Men standin in the entrance armed up
 With a close eye on us
 We enter the buildin
 Got checked by the women who starin
 My mother
 Pull out a card with a picture of her face on it
 Two papers with our names on it
 They identify her
 They lookin at me
 Me my confusion of the journey
 Thorugh these walls we go
 Before the next one opens
 The past one must close
 As they check for proper clothes
 My mama so prepared
 For this mini battle has chose
 Finally we reach our final destination
 My poppa placed in a seat
 Facin me
 No women in his class
 Jus men who never laugh
 And when they see they family
 They sing
 We been starvin so long in these crazy ghetto streets
 And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat
 How long will i struggle?
 I gotta grind jus to eat now
 I gotta eat jus a lil now
 So I gotta live my life this way
 So I begin my investigation
 My elbow on the round table
 My palm at chin
 I'm lookin at him
 Ask questions like
 'How you been? '
 'When you graduatin? '
 Time was up got pulled away
 Kickin and screamin
 Tears came to his eyes
 But never fell in front me
 Got old enough to realize
 Must've fell up under me
 Bein locked away in prison from your family
 Tryin to find ways for us to eat
 I sing
 We been starvin so long in these crazy ghetto streets
 And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat
 How long will i struggle?
 I gotta grind jus to eat now
 I gotta eat jus a lil now
 So I gotta live my life this way
 We been starvin so long in these crazy ghetto streets
 And they say we're so wrong for the way we try to eat
 How long will he struggle?
 I gotta grind jus to eat now
 I gotta eat jus a lil now
 So I gotta live my life this way
