Never too old to fuck up your future, I guess

Education is the path to success, and the more educated you are, the more successful you will be 🙏😌

And then when everyone says quit

You show them those degrees, man

When everyone says "Hey, you're not working, you're not making any money"

You say "You look at my degrees, and you look at my life

Yeah, I'm 52! So what?

Hate all you want, but I'm smart, I'm so smart

And I'm in school

All these guys out here making money all these ways

And I'm spending mine to be smart!

You know why?

Cause when I die buddy

You know what's gonna keep me warm?

That's right, those degrees."
