College Lyrics - Vyp: Voice Of The Young People - Lil' Mama

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 he 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 

Photos 

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 

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 see
