You Bastard Lyrics by Ray William Johnson

2018

[Verse 1]
I remember when I was young, I was just a little kid
I was so smart, yeah, had a real gift
They told me to dream and to dream real big
And to [?] to happiness, Will Smith
Everybody told me I should be an academic
You [?]
All you gotta do is submit and get admitted
One, two, three, get it
Every-every-everybody said
It was important (Everybody said)
Go to college, you'll stay poor if you ignore it (Everybody said)
It's the future even if you can't afford it (Everybody said)
It's that door to that Scrooge McDuck fortune
They'll recruit you like a [?]
No scholarship if you ain't playin' basketball
I [?] four sidе jobs at the mall
So I can buy everything from tеxtbooks to Adderall, Adderall
Maybe I ain't got a future after all
Maybe you can tell
I ain't mad at all
[Bridge]
I took those loans like a delinquent
And now those loans are just delinquent
Who's gonna finance it when no one in your family can?
Tuitions getting higher than a tourist up in Amsterdam
[Chorus]
What the hell did I learn?
And what the hell did they sell us?
And why the hell did we listen?
And how the hell did this help us?
And when the hell did we get here?
And why's it a disaster?
You killed the American dream, you bastard
[Post-Chorus]
Out of the amount you pay, will it even calculate?
Now the only girl who's calling you is [?]
How the hell can we fix this?
And can we do it faster?
You killed the American dream, you bastard (Bastard)
[Verse 2]
I don't mean disrespect
But the system you build is the system you get
We should keep them in check when we feed them a check
Are they pushing your future, or they pushing debt?
Go to school, it's essential
Graduate, get credentials
Get yourself a job in an office space, pushing pencils
One day it'll hit you like a DDT
That your boss makes more with his GED
[Chorus]
What the hell did I learn?
And what the hell did they sell us?
And why the hell did we listen?
And how the hell did this help us?
And when the hell did we get here?
And why's it a disaster?
You killed the American dream, you bastard
[Post-Chorus]
Out of the amount you pay, will it even calculate?
Now the only girl who's calling you is [?]
How the hell can we fix this?
And can we do it faster?
You killed the American dream, you bastard (Bastard)
[Verse 3]
What is knowledge gonna cost me? (Woah)
I ain't a scholar, Noam Chompski (No)
They rip you off by proxy (Oh)
There goes your legacy, [?]
People always gonna try to tell you that you better go to college, it's the only way to get a better job
Now you're making payments every month, and if you ever wanna stop, it's gonna be like you're messing with the mob
And the thing you got from the situation
Is there ain't no bigger business than education?
[Chorus]
What the hell did I learn?
And what the hell did they sell us?
And why the hell did we listen?
And how the hell did this help us?
And when the hell did we get here?
And why's it a disaster?
You killed the American dream, you bastard
[Outro]
You can do the math
You can do the math
Land of the free, but in debt, we're trapped
How the hell can we fix this?
And can we do it faster?
You killed the American dream (You bastard)
