Chordz - A.D.A.D Lyrics

Another day, another dollar
At these rates, how we meant to save for tomorrow?
Mum never wanted her son to have to borrow
So she sent him off to uni, she said go become a scholar
But what's a scholar without a scholarship?
Take away the accomplishment
And you're left with a kid up to his neck in debt
For a degree that leads to a false sense of confidence

So tell Mum that's why I never finished
I know what she said, but that's why I never listened
We both had the same goal, but I had a different vision
Hope she don't mistake this difference for a lack of ambition
Cause ambition is higher than it's ever been
I'm tryna open doors where they didn't wanna let us in
It's been evident that they find us threatening
Cause ever since they let us in
They've been tryna kill our brains with medicine
Maybe it's the genes or maybe its the melanin
That's got them playing down our relevance
I rap to spark conversations to get us in rooms with presidents
But they just want me wrapping sedatives
They wanna see us perish in
A cage or a rage fuelled with adrenaline
It's either that or see us enslaved with no sentencing
Cause a job that you hate, for a shit enough wage
Is really not far enough from just being a slave
And you stay...

Another day, another dollar
At these rates, how we meant to save for tomorrow?
Mum never wanted her son to have to borrow
So she sent him of to uni, she said go become a scholar
But what's a scholar without a scholarship?
Take away the accomplishment
And you're left with a kid up to his neck in debt
For a degree that leads to a false sense of confidence

That's ironic
Remember being young, in school or in college?
Working hard based on the false promise
That one day your success will be measured by your knowledge?
For that lie, I feel like we're owed an apology
That's the f*cking con in the middle of economy
They say go to school, be who you wanna be
And then you come out and it's like "ha-you belong to me"
Spent your student loan on smoke and clothes
And you raved so hard you almost overdosed
Now it's all done and you're almost broke
How long will it take to pay what you owe
When all you know is...

Another day, another dollar
At these rates, how we meant to save for tomorrow?
Mum never wanted her son to have to borrow
So she sent him of to uni, she said go become a scholar
But what's a scholar without a scholarship?
Take away the accomplishment
And you're left with a kid up to his neck in debt
For a degree that leads to a false sense of confidence
