Chorus:
This is the education of a generation
Complacent, not patient, no determination
I don’t know where to go from here
TV says that we’re livin’ in a world of fear
But that cloud’s got a silver linin’
If there’s a future, I’m gon’ find it
Open my eyes and take a stand
The power to change the lies, it lies in our hands
Yo I let the hammers fly, build a life that’s glamorized
Multiply the choices and forget when forms are standardized
Way below my reading level, way above my pay grade
Education and success often bear the same name
But the passion plus the academics is the only way to finish
Plus the only kinds of limits are those self-imposed
Road-blocks, don’t stop, even when the light is dim
And once you reach the top, then you invite a friend
Cuz we can never do this on our own, if nobody’s home
Then it’s that much harder to be smarter and avoid the chrome
I loan the facts, till they’re critically amassed
And there’s no test-osterone that we can’t pass
When we let the tech blast, that’s the science we advance
Who the livest in the lab, who the drivers in the van
Guard the future, guard the present, ‘til the hate is history
I don’t worry now, cuz I trust the synchronicity
Chorus
If experience is a teacher, isolation’s ignorance
And I guess that failure’s the professor of ascent
Cuz we can only rise if we fall, fly if we all
Jump off into the abyss, risk to be at fault
And I don’t wear a wrist watch, cuz I never check the time
Never watch the wrist, cuz the present I accept as mine
And I mine the mind, for the permutation that’s creative
That’s how I achieve – when the frequency is unrelated
That is how you make the innovative in an oversaturated
Environment, tireless we strive with no complainin’
I find souls are waitin’, mired in the boredom
When we said the sky’s the limit, didn’t mean Air Jordans
Cuz it’s time to step up, I appoint guards
To rebound, stay centered and never take a charge
Those who shoot and hang could really learn from shot clocks
Cuz life’ll break your backboard if your lid pops off
(What) life’ll smash your glass if your rims pop off
(What) life’ll grab you fast if your Tims pop off
(What) life’ll often pass you if you do not try to tackle
When the ball is in your court and the moment’s lookin’ at you
It’s a crapshoot, nothing easy’s worth doin’
Except to make it effortless, but that is just the first movement
I’m never truant, cuz I show up, and show out
Enough with theatrics, it’s time for the showdown
Chorus
Up in life’s lab, kids are focused on the chemistry
Whether drugs or love, sayin’ it was meant to be
But I believe the structure is the product of a rupture
A disconnect to get respect and figure who is tougher
Of course this is measured in a crooked flask
They are always cookin’ fast but so afraid of the looking glass
And when they bring the heat, yo it’s not a Bunsen burner
Cuz by the time they five, they’ll have seen a hundred murders
Actin’ like electrons who bring the negativity
But they’ve got momentum so it’s hard to stop the energy
If there is an enemy, it’s woven like genetic code
Deep inside our history, so we can rarely let it go
But I’mma let it flow, rap osmosis
High concentration till the membrane opens
We can make a pro-team, if we learn from every play
I came here to replicate messenger RNA
