(Intro - Kanye West) x2
This the real world, homie school’s finished
They done stole your dreams, you don’t know who did it

(Hook x2)
Said I don’t know what imma do up in this twisted world
They say that life’s a bitch, well tell that bitch it hurts
Tell her I’m tired of games, tired of feelin’ the same
Imma break out of this box and imma steal this game

(Verse 1)

Man it’s a normal kinda day I’m just chillin along the way
I’m walkin’ down this same street, same shit different day
Fantasising, day dreamin’ 'cause I know my time is coming
All these thoughts up in my brain, my mind is crazy buzzin’
My mind up in the clouds, J’z graze across the pavement
Had to cop a pad of paper from the local petrol station
The same one that’s adjacent to the school I graduated
Like 20 minutes ago and now my brain is fascinated
All my thoughts are activated, I’ve been stuck in education
For the last 12 years, apparently it’s preparation
For the life that will proceed for me or will I see
That every one of these degrees ain’t just like what they make it seem
Should I walk the same route and do whatever they want
Get a degree then sit up at a desk workin’ a day job
But I’m fuckin bored of studies screamin fuck the board of studies
Hope my teachers all hear of me when I’m out tourin’ the country, I don’t know

(Hook x2)

(Verse 2)
Dollar signs in my eyes
I got money on my mind
Never cared about the shine
Tryna stand the test of time
No one told me I’d be broke as a promise man but I promise man
There ain’t no stoppin’ it the Dynasty ‘bout to be prominent
Retailing’ 9-5 to keep it all alive
’s all I see up in my eyes and all I care is that I try
I don’t dwell upon possessions of the one standing beside me
Only dwell upon satisfying emotions deep inside me
Only wish to be content, if my hunger never rests
Then I’m always seeking something more, I’ll probably starve to death
See me, I’ve never been infatuated with the profits
i just wanna be comfortable and not worry what the cost is
Livin’ care free man that's hard to find
Just wanna walk into a store without my card declined
That bad balance will make you unsteady peepin’ that account
So until I get it right, we’ll see what this world’s about

(Hook x4)
