lyrics

Hook (Luc Dallaire )
I’m trying to stay in tonight
Cause I got this paper to write
And every time it feels like I just can’t lose control
I know
That I’m trying to go out tonight
And I just got to find what I like
And every time you tell me that I’ve just lost my mind
You’re right
Cause I’m living the college life

(Apollo)
And they told me this is college life
Where I’m suppose to get knowledge right
And they told me this is college life
Where I’m suppose to get knowledge right
So put ya hands up if you feel this, feel this
Put ya hands up, it’s the college life

Verse 1 (Apollo)
Good morning, but I never seen the morning
‘Less I pull an all-nighter and I’m up in class yawning
I got a test on the parts of the brain
But I don’t know my professor’s name
Cause my alarm clock rang and I just hit snooze
On somebody else floor, where are my shoes?
Empty bottles of booze, but don’t get it switched
Dogg I don’t drink, I just party for the chicks
But I need go to class stead of Pi Lamb
Cause my grades looking younger I am
Ha, and my mama gon kill me
So I go hard on my studying you feel me
But it’s all right cause I’ve done this before
And thank God for the night before
When, I got some Red Bull, coffee and a Nutty Buddy
Talking to this girl like you wanna be my study buddy

Hook

Verse 2 (Apollo + [Luc])
And I’m just trying not to miss the bus
Cause my career talking to me, listen up
But the club speak too
And my lab due, paper due and rent due too
What do what do I do, my sink full of dishes
Had a party last night and my neighbor’s malicious
Cause she trying to sleep, and we trying to kick it
And by the next week, [we got evicted]
I guess the dorms wasn’t that bad
Till you lose your flex pass and miss the next class
And we don’t have A.C.
And I just want an A or B but I could take a C
Cause I didn’t buy the book
Cause it cost too much and I’d rather write a hook
Than read that book plus I don’t got cable
Eating ramen out the pot wit my feet up on the table

Hook

Verse 3
See college is sort of like gymnastics
You got to keep balance or you gon get your ass kicked
Between the parties and the tests
And sorting through the mess on your dorm room desk
So interests just lie in constant limbo
Memorizing info or mesmerizing nymphos?
I’m trying to live morally world
But, I need more of these sorority girls, what do I do?

Hook

Outro
I want to give a special shout out to every college student in the world
Whether you’re in college, used to go to college, or want to go to college
Make something of yourself and get an education
It’s a one of a kind experience
Living this college life
Shout out to the bell curve, Prop-T, Luc D
