The Lyrics

R.I.P. Coolio
As I walk through the campus that I’ve been in before
I take a look at those classes, capacity soared
I’m the type of student certain people wanna be like
In my mind day and night, live the educational life

I really hate to flunk, but I gotta go
As they fail, try to study ‘til they go pro
I’m an educated newbie with a bit of disaster
Want to learn something new, online classes are faster

Everybody’s hangin’, half of them pay attention
They got security, but no detention
I’ve been acing for that degree so long that
Even my childhood friends said my mind is gone

We’ve been spending most our lives, livin’ in a college paradise [repeat 4x]

You better watch how you’re spendin’, what you’re takin’
Nobody try to flunkin’, nobody try to fakin’
I’m already graduated from high school
Over 15 years ago, everything has been cool

I got the situation that keeps me facing
Still, why questions sound very difficult to me
I’m 36, will I live to see 37?
Still meeting people I didn’t know

I’ve never met a professor no one’s deserving
He a wheelchaired martial artist? That was barely heard of
I gotta be down with AV club
Too much television, VHS, and other stuff

Not blind, are we, we’re easy to see
Even calculus equals you and me

We’ve been spending most our lives, livin’ in a college paradise [repeat 4x]

Lots of math problems, tons of English tests
Science, technology, arts are the best
As a newcomer to the babysitting field
Have to care for children’s lives with emotions they feel

They say I gotta learn, somebody’s here to teach me
I bet there’s something that could possibly reach me
I’ll be an elementary school teacher one day
And not spendin’ too much time in my dorm all week anyway

We’ve been spending most our lives, livin’ in a college paradise [repeat 4x]

Not blind, are we, we’re easy to see, even calculus equals you and me [repeat twice]
