Many nights, you stayed up all night
Trying to get through the chapter, yet you crossing your eyes
From the notes you wrote, it really wasn't no joke
You'll rather work in a classroom than working remote...

Financial aid becomes a real pester
Being asked about monies every single semester
Social clubs, fraternities, and sororities
Praising my God, cause He's my first priority!

Shake my head, make a vow, and stand with me...

Every year you wonder just how much more
Of this can you take, appreciate, show the world that you are truly able
As I sing this song, living on my own
Get your degree and keep moving along!
