"degree" lyrics
Is corook here?
Uh, yeah
Come on in, I'm glad you could make it
Uh, thanks for having me
Take a seat and we can get started
You must be so smart (Well)
You got two degrees (Yeah)
I have two as well (Oh)
Like, how cool are we?
It was Berkley, right? (Yeah)
I know people there (Um)
I'm sure you've heard of them (Mm, look)
Everybody's talkin' bout a degree (Uh)
I went to college for the party (Woo)
Now I'm 'bout fifty grand in debt (Ah)
Most expensive fun that I've had yet (Yeah)
Damn, I shoulda studied foreign language
Konichiwa, hola, bonjour, que tal (Hi)
Then I could probably pay rent
But I just wanna be famous (Yeah)
Mama, mama, please don't make me go to school (Please)
I'm fakin' that I'm sick, I'm like, "Achoo" (Achoo)
Oh, wait, I forgot I'm an adult (I'm an adult)
I don't need permission slips to do what I want
Hi, you've reached corook, leave a message
Hey, it's your dad, just callin' to check in, uh
Are you doin' well?
You don't call me much
Can you pay your bills?
Are they pilin' up?
You know I know best
All about your life
Know you didn't ask
But here's my advice
Know you're chasin' your dreams and waitin' for your moment
But I'm worried sick it won't happen before you're homeless
Maybe you should stop (Stop)
Try to get a job with your degree (Ugh)
Everybody's talkin' bout a degree (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I went to college for the party (Woo, woo)
Now I'm 'bout fifty grand in debt (Fifty K)
Most expensive fun that I've had yet
Damn, I shoulda studied foreign language
Konichiwa, hola, bonjour, que tal
Then I could probably pay rent
But I just wanna be famous (Look at me)
Mama, mama, please don't make me go to school
Fakin' that I'm sick, I'm like, "Achoo"
Oh, wait, I forgot I'm an adult
I don't need permission slips to do what I want
In debt
I'm about twenty grand in debt
I'm about thirty grand in debt
I'm about homeless, I'm about homeless
I'm about, I'm about
In debt
I'm about forty grand in debt
I'm about fifty grand in debt
I'm about homeless, I'm about homeless
Fuck a degree
I went to college for the party
Now I'm 'bout fifty grand in debt
Most expensive fun that I've had yet
Damn, I shoulda studied foreign language
Konichiwa, hola, bonjour, que tal
Then I could probably pay rent
But I just wanna be famous
Mama, please don't make me go to school
Fakin' that I'm sick, I'm like, "Achoo"
Oh, wait, I forgot I'm an adult
