So you want to get a degree

You still can't see past the t.v.
Society and your parents
Probably going to tell you the same thing...
Education is the key
It increases your chances of getting a job
Provides you with opportunities to successful then your life would become a lot less stressful
Now your parents are going to tell you
Make me proud
Education is the key
Now some of you protest like you know money's only the medium by which one measures worldly success
And some of you have the nerve to say "I do it for the money"
So what you studying for
To work for a charity
Do you really need more clarity
Schools and education
Look all I'm saying
Is that if there was a family tree hard work and education would be related
School would just be a distant cousin
because if education is the key then school is the lock and battlefield
It rarely ever develops your mind i mean hey they say as long as you follow the rules and pass your exams your considered cool
Be aware of examiners who have a checklist and if your  answer is something out side of a box the automatic response is a cross
Well tell that to Malcolm x who dropped out of school and is world renowned for what he learned in a prison.....
Proverbs 17:16
It does a fool no good to spend money on education...
WHY??
Because he has no common sense George Bush need I say more...
Education is about inspiring other no just filling ones head
Memorizing equations facts and dates down to the letter
Half of which I would never remember
And half I would forget straight after the exam and before the start of the next semester
So I run....
Because that's the only time I spent in a University chasing my dream
And after nights of a dead mind i then find myself in a question of powerful wake student zombies waiting to hand in an assignment maybe that's why they call it
A dead line
Now I'm not saying schools evil and there's nothing to gain
All I'm saying is understand your motives and re access your aims because if you want a job working for someone else then help yourself
But that would be a contradiction because you wouldn't be helping yourself
You'd be helping somebody else
There's a saying which says
If you don't build your dreams someone else will hire you to help build theirs
So you want to get a degree...
