Pres – The Dropout Story

Pres – The Dropout Story Lyrics

Artist: Pres
Song: The Dropout Story

I ain’t even wanna go in the first place
But i thought to myself, damn, what’s the worst case
I’d gain a couple thousand fans, and show ‘em i’m the man
But this been feeling more like a workplace

‘cause in my classes i ain’t learning ‘bout sh#t
So instead i read articles to understand the biz
‘cause with the music, nobody is f#cking with the kid
Always been a brainiac, just gotta use that to get big

Walkin’ ‘round campus
Saying to myself this ain’t happened how i planned it
I got a lot of music, i just need them to demand it and hand in
The money, to help pops finally understand it

You ain’t gotta be mainstream to get cream
I don’t need no college dеgree to get green
To stop them from sleeping on me, i quit sleep
And deemеd that everything against my dream i don’t need

I ain’t wanna let no one down
But i can only making one of us proud
I wanna dropout
I know both of y’all are saying to me “not now”

I gotta go get this degree, go down a couple thou
I really tried but i wanna dropout
I hope you ain’t thinking that your son’s a copout
Momma, honestly this sh#t don’t feel right to me

I don’t mean it spitefully, but i been above the minds of these
People that’s trynna be, just part of the society
They was forced to find degrees, but i can’t be confined with ease
I know you’ll probably understand, dad’s the one i’m worried ‘bout

And i ain’t making big money, so he’ll surely doubt
I’ll finish this year, i don’t just wanna hurry out
But i’m sorry to tell you, i’m dropping out of missouri, wow
I can’t believe i had the balls to go up to my father

And tell ‘em the blessing of education don’t mean sh#t me
I mean i’m working harder than i ever have, so don’t worry dad
I will never let the struggle get to me
‘cause i’m the one that’s gon’ be working double time

And feeling so disgraced, i can’t look in my parents eyes
I flipped the bird to school, now i’m feeling so ostracized
I’m sticking out my neck, hope it ain’t met with looks as sharp as knives, i
I ain’t wanna let no one down

But i can only making one of us proud
I wanna dropout
I know both of y’all are saying to me “not now”
I gotta go get this degree, go down a couple thou

I really tried but i wanna dropout
I hope you ain’t thinking that your son’s a copout
Dad, thank you for the opportunity
But this ain’t what i want, this is more you than me

And truthfully, i know you’ll always root for me
I hope you don’t see this verse as rude or weak
‘cause i been sittin’ in class knowing this ain’t my place
I can’t embrace anyone here, they don’t relate

To making their own business and getting kicked in the face
I’m one of a kind and that’ll never change
I feel like telling you this, you feel like i’m giving up
But this the point in my career where it start picking up

And i stop making excuses and start getting love
Even in the flashing lights, i’ll always be your little bud
I wanna leave and really give this my all
I been holding this in, i don’t know why i stalled

Made this song ‘cause it’s easier talking to a wall
Please pick up the phone and give me a call
I ain’t wanna let no one down
But i can only making one of us proud

I wanna dropout
I know both of y’all are saying to me “not now”
I gotta go get this degree, go down a couple thou
I really tried but i wanna dropout
