Intrinsic Motivation

Sine waves, perpetual motion

Centripetal force, density of the ocean

Associates, Bachelors

Student Ambassadors

Register, register, schedules, grades

Grants and scholarships, tuition is paid

No snooze button, turn off the alarm

Losing some sleep. It's ok, though, no harm

Friendly teachers and **** instructors

Digital logic and semiconductors

Homework, classwork, essays, papers

Last minute class of procrastinators

Get up, get blazed. 'Fore school, 'nutha blunt

High while accepting student of the month

Higher than you, and my grades, too, are higher

How smart would I be if I put out the fire?

Gen. Ed., English, Mathematics, Psychology

Now on to the good stuff, much richer chronology

Top of my class, highest grade in the program

In just a few years, I'll have money in BOTH hands

This hand-to-mouth **** ain't for me

I'm tired of living week-to-week

Broke, tired, and hungry day after day

But when payday comes, it'll be here to stay

You don't have to do as I do

But my feet are too small to fill these big shoes

If you think I can't fill them, then surely you're trippin'

But do whatcha do, cause my burgers need flippin'
