To the class of people buildin' from scratch Those who held onto the dream when it didn't come fast There ain't nothin' I can say that can get your time back But hold on a little longer and I think you'll find that All the hurtin' gone be worth it, it was makin' you perfect And if it felt like a burden than it was giving you purpose Every time you second guessed it and wondered if it was worth it Know that you control the narrative careful with how you word it Skipping class but I write like a historian Smokin' that A plus I'm the valedictorian Turning over loose-leafs, not afraid to be born again It's the end of the semester and onto another tour again Congratulations you graduated to bigger stages They told me never change but nowadays, I'm feelin' famous Chase your dreams that's my senior superlative Now signing autographs the only time I ever write in cursive
