I was holding up my pen as a sword
I was slaying through the demons that were known as test scores
Reading quotes of motivation off the bulletin board
And claiming all the goals I was always fighting towards
And now they tellin' me
They tellin' me "You ready for the real world"
"Ready to see all your dreams unfurl"
The only thing I do is smile
As I'm making my way down the aisle
They tellin' me congratulations
We're on our way to graduation
They tellin' me congratulations
We're on our way to graduation
We're on our way to graduation
We're on our way to graduation
I was rocking out my gown like a shield
And now the demons that were fighting me finally have to yield
And I was giving it my all, everything that I wield
And after everything is done, I'll make this place my field
And now they tellin' me
They tellin' me "Man, I can feel your energy"
"You're gonna be the icon of the century"
The only thing I do is smile
As I'm making my way down the aisle
They tellin' me congratulations
We're on our way to graduation
They tellin' me congratulations
We're on our way to graduation
We're on our way to graduation
We're on our way to graduation
