knowledge - brandon joyner lyrics

brandon joyner (verse 1)
(yeah)
now i ain’t ever been one for scholarships
my gpa was low like “wow” i promise it
i always had dreams though. hmm
these alternate realities consumed my conscious and
dad and ma want me pursuing degrees
but i promise that i’m not built for these colleges
i want it so i go and get it homie, ain’t no stoppin
ain’t no octagons around me
got the juicy juice, you know it
will you please prepare ya palette
gone and savor the sweet taste
music like gold when it’s flowing through nitrate
no zs , don’t sleep on me
i pray he breathe thе breath of new life, no zs
latеly i been on my junk
yes i been on my mission
i been trying ‘a write a little more
i really hope you listen
future mrs. now
she really pay attention
lot ‘a things in this life really changing for the better
yes i’m trying ‘a please the kingdom (uh)
hook
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
i don’t want to go
(go, go, go)
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
but i know i need to go
(go, go, go)

keith phelps (verse 2)
they say we all need degrees like thermostats
but i’m faithfully bringing heat, cold flows to match
successful without a college, that’s the code to crack
i done set tripped on society and it clapped back
now it would do my mama good to see a graduation
brandon : (yep)
now it would do the bank good to get tuition payments
brandon : (yep)
maybe then we can all get secure job placements and
salaries so long that they cause complacence
brandon : (woah)
hated the thought of college, gpa in the coffin
within the proper context it’s a wonderful option
like a keith phelps song or a flower that blossoms
like a oh my god this n*gga is so full of himself
like a cool summer breeze flowing straight into autumn
super social construct so proceed with caution
pick your path like the finest plantation cotton
told my lil’ homie brandon i respect his decision
just make sure that it definitely furthers your mission
hook
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
i don’t want to go
(go, go, go)
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
but i know i need to go
(go, go, go)

v3 brandon and keith
(brandon joyner)
reality check
anyway it goes you gone be in the game
so why you mad at the ref?
just take a moment
keith : (wait for it)
let it sink
we all working men
(keith phelps)
employee of the month
customer service or sales or
you can take that same energy and hire yourself
entrepreneurship
no prerequisite to mess with it
college is the only way, that theory i just rested it
(brandon joyner)
another reality check
go ahead and grab the new testament
2 thessalonians 3:10
you don’t work? you don’t eat
but you need that education
(keith phelps)
now education doesn’t always mean a gpa
with student loans, a piece of paper when you finally graduate
seek out knowledge for your dreams
many income streams
and everybody in the building if you feel it? just sing
hook
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
i don’t want to go
(go, go, go)
ma and dad told me to get a degree
but i was like, no
(no, no , no)
but i know i need to go
(go, go, go)

(no, no, no)
(told me to get a degree)
(but i was like)
(no, no, no)
(even though i need to)
(go, go, go)
(ooooo)
(ooooo)

brandon : thank you, thank you!
keith : thank you very much!
brandon : alright come on bro, lets go
(keith and brandon mumbling)
mama joyner : (now introducing the class of distinguished and original productions!
let’s give them a round of applause!)
keith i’m only here ‘cause my mom made me
brandon : who going first then?, get em first then
keith : alright, alright here we go
brandon : get ‘em
keith : okay

part 2

(verse 1)

keith phelps
making my way to the centerstage, they see me
grabbing my credentials the dean is there to greet me
pomp circumstance they playing it so sweetly
(champion sound!)
i overdosed on the wheaties
hopped off the stage, they knew that they couldn’t keep me
opposite side of the checkerboard, now king me
wasn’t no hassle for me to flip the tassel
cause don’t n0body do it like brandon j. and keith p

brandon joyner
graduated from the box, box, no lunch time
enjoying all my fruits now my fruit need punchlines
witty with the flow, get me green wit’ croutons
i sold all my graduation tickets on groupon
blessed with gifts and opportunity, shout out god
i ain’t let society define me or confine me
i’m created to create, word to prophecy and prophets
now they send me treaties like it’s magna carta
get me my diploma!

mama
born may 10th, 1997 the day before mothers day
out of all of my boys. he was my hardest delivery
he came out like he was ready to set the world on fire
one of his first performances
he was a bad stutterer but when he performed, he didn’t stutter!
and so his eyes lit up
and he said , “i did it , didn’t i?”
and so after that he started writing and performing and
look at my baby now

(verse 2)

keith phelps
graduation flow in a robe
i’m speaking into your lobes
i never live by the code
i’m qualified and it shows
bigger than all your prerequisites all without tippy toes
my purpose? i surely know when the flow is colder than snow

brandon joyner
white
sanitized my sanity with words from a holy god
dreams are nothing but a vision channeled from the skies
pursue that passion with a hefty piece of humble pie
die daily please make sure the enemy will never rise

keith phelps
no associate to the bachelors. (uh) masters
actualized dreams catered in on a platter
drank my salary
no cap on tap
hors devours; stack cash like brie on some crackers

brandon joyner
got acceptance without validation from society
bringin’ in the revenue and ain’t n0body hire me (ugh)
at the age of 25 i’m thinking ‘bout retiring (ugh)
bars without the handle, devastatingly inspiring (ooo)

aye
aye
aye
yeah (i’m down!)
now them pentecostal choirs back home in indiana are like
(ahhh)
i need that!
yall better sang!
yeah!
woo!
yeah!
oh my goodness!
stay in school kids
