I'm just a no good freshman year drop out From college 2012 Ya that's what they say When I went away to figure out some things for myself Ya I was nineteen Just a kid with a dream Had no plans and nowhere to go So I followed my friends And I Went off to school Where buried myself in the loans All of the things I thought that I knew Were quick to throw sand in my eye But you can't pay your dues Without lessons to learn And learning is always a price I'm just a no good freshman year drop out From college 2012 So I went off to work Put my hands in the dirt Swinging hammers and pulling my weight Had to show all my friends That money I earned Thought my wallet might carry my worth All the things I thought that I knew Pushed me down and spit in my face But you can't pay your dues Without lessons to learn I seem to be leaning on grace I'm just a no good freshman year drop out Workin for the man and the bills Settle down those of you who worry too much Doubt is a merciless thief That fire will burn you down in time If you can't learn to stand in the heat We're all fighting the same Just tryin to find a place But what would I know anyway? I'm just a no good freshman year drop out From college 2012 Ya that's what they'd say when I went away But I've figured of some things for myself
