You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling   You pick up all those books that your going to read   And not remember and you roll, man   You get that a sociate degree, okay      Then you get your bachelors, then you get your masters   Then you get your master's masters   Then you get your doctrine, you go, man   And then when everybody says quit   You show them those degrees, man      When everybody 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 fifty two, so what, hate all you want      But I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school   These guys are out here making money all these ways   And I'm spendin' mine to be smart, you know why?   Because when I die, buddy, you know   What's going to keep me warm, that's right, those degrees"
