Justin Powell - Full Blown Student Loans Lyrics

To everyone who may hear this song
Whether you sympathize or empathize
Thank you for your time and sincere consideration
Like many of you I have great dreams and aspirations
That go beyond just surviving and into thriving
I hope this song will serve as a reminder that we are not all alone
And the uncertainty and disparity you feel is shared by many

Full blown student loans got me in depression zones
Saddest part about it I know that I'm not alone
Takin' 2 steps forward, then 10 steps back
Kinda hard to win a race if you not even on track
Got boys and girls around the country in this trap
That's a lifetime long
They tell you keep calm, move along, and just sing they fight song
But the reality is the future is lookin' bleak
Graduate to a 9 to 5 that'll barely make ends meet
And you lucky to get that
A lotta folks on Craig's List thinkin'... "I could do that"
Others get a pad and say F- it I'm gonna rap
Job to job, check to check it's really all just the same
We all playin' a pawn but don't know the rules to the game
An economy built on debt is the only one to blame
How can you keep your head down and not complain
Knowin' damn well that a single thing won't change

These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine
These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine

Stafford, Perkins, Public, or private
Can't tell who's who but they got their hand in my pocket
Don't care how you doin', what you're doin', or what you're makin'
Run 'em their money or that credit score get to shakin'
4 loans a month
All in one day
Ready or not they did not come to play
Full blown student loans got me so far gone
Prayin' Drake will write a check after he hears this song
I went to USC where they pay to be me
How ironic that I'm payin' just tryna be free
But don't get me wrong, it wasn't all cons
I appreciate what I learned, saw, and who I met
And all the opportunities that'll get
A catch 22? For sure
Do what's best for you I implore
There's no one way to go about it
But bet on myself and fail? I doubt it

These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine
These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine
These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine
These loans got me out my mind
I can't pay 'em off on time
The pain I feel is yours and mine
But we still shine, we still shine
