"Graduation Day"

What in the fuck was that, Kanye? I told you to do some shit for the kids

You give me your motherfuckin' graduation ticket right now

You give me this motherfuckin' robe before you catch some senioritis

You will not walk 'cross that stage, you won't slide across that stage

Motherfucker, I can't pull you 'cross that motherfuckin' stage, Kanye

Who told you? See, I told you to do something uplifting

I'm tryna get you out here with these white people and this how you gon' do me?

You know what? You's a nigga

And I don't mean that in no nice way

Had little kids singin' about the shit, no, the joke's on you

You can throw yo' m- ' hands in the air, and wave good-bye to every - body

As you get the fuck out of this campus

What the f- you gone do now?

I'm no longer confused, but don't tell anybody

I'm about to break the rules, but don't tell anybody

I got something better than school, but don't tell anybody

My momma would kill me, so don't tell anybody

She wants me to get a good ass job, just like everybody

She ain't walked in my shoes, I'm just not everybody
