I'm holding on right now
Till the day I graduate
Man, I can't wait
Get by this one last year somehow

I don't believe in formal education
I believe in living life without caution
I'm an artist, I don't fit into a box
I can't even wear identical socks
Or be at the same place at the same time every week
I know I'm unique
Because of the experiences I've had
And the people I've met
I want to make art that changes lives
Create an impact that's makes someone want to thrive

I'm holding on right now
Till the day I graduate
Man, I can't wait
Get by this one last year somehow

I'm a junior in college
You might think I'm too young to know
What life is really about
But you don’t know me
Don’t measure who I am by my age
Let it just be a number and not a cage
To hold me down or act as an explanation
Of how I lack knowledge or dedication
The world is my stage
Don't limit me to a page
I'm filled with rage
I'm failing this class
I couldn't care less
A year from now
None of this will matter
I’ll move on to bigger better things
When I would be ready to fly and spread my wings

I'm holding on right now
Till the day I graduate
Man, I can't wait
Get by this one last year somehow
Can't wait to graduate.
