University Of Life

(album: Wednesday - 2017)

[Chris Webby:]
Welcome to the university of life, gather 'round and take a seat students, I'm your substitute for the night
'Cus you might think you're doing it right. I thought it too up until I learned my lesson now it's the lesson plan that I offer you
Study history, learn from the mistakes of those who came before you so you can make it through life differently and
Take economics, a business class if you got it. Had to learn that for myself when people got up in my pockets
'Cus the school of hard-knocks is full of roadblocks and potholes and semester after semester life is a long road
You gotta take some risks 'cus if you living dangerous just know that there's consequences for the way you live
Because expulsion from life is permanent. Ain't no principals offices, church services so for all my fallen classmates
I tip this bottle of bourbon and pour it out as I question what this life is all about. That's when they told me

[Madi Wolf:]
Welcome to the university of life now
If you didn't know before then you 'gon find out
This is real life, don't be surprised how that I am all grown up
[x2]

[Chris Webby:]
Gotta study psychology so you reading people properly and learn to see the world through the perspective of philosophy
I've always loved anatomy.. I mean understandably but I played it safe 'cus I ain't ready for family
'Cus I'm still working on myself and that's the mission, as taxes in my business' expenses became tuition ain't no wishing
On a star, real life comes at a cost so crawl before you walk and listen more than you talk
Take your lessons as a blessing raise ya hand and ask questions. We all got ADD but pay attention
No (prisons or no testin'[?]) that could give you preparation live with zero hesitation yo this life is what you make it
Gotta take it, any records that they set just go and break it! I'd rather have detention than follow and be complacent
'Cus when I hit my lowest and started loosing focus and everything around me seemed hopeless that's when they told me
