Jamal Walker - Graduation Lyrics

This for the newly turned tassels
Life is a tussle but hustle cuz it's worth the hassle
Follow your strongest muscle the heart trust where it travels
Protect your dreams by any means because they're very fragile

Food for thought
Walk With Me

I had a dream big balloon
I watched it slowly deflate
What made it defiantly fly
I watched it slowly escape
Once it could reach for the sky
Now it can't support its own weight
So as time rolls by

I pray I never relate
I pray I never relate
I pray I never relate
God don't let me relate
God don't let me relate
Good God don't let me relate
Yeah
Good God don't let me relate

Listen
End of May a nigga just graduated
For granted I'd never take it
Shit I barely made it
So people I'm related to were all elated
Giving monetary gifts and congratulatory statements
I see you Mally Mal! Me I just wanna hit the mall and ball
Push open revolving doors
Pop in Footlocker and cop some Jordans the Oreo 4s
I scored my euphoria soared
Gifts and glamorous glitz galore
I was a poor nigga with a fortune for sure
But the cheapest gift given stood out amongst em all
A dream big balloon picked from a grocery store
Its resiliency was like a simile to my mentality
Until naturally I had to watch in horror
The helium had escaped, it wasn't flying no more
Is a deferred dream the fate that I'm truly destined for
What a horrendous metaphor Lord

Listen

I had a dream big balloon
I watched it slowly deflate
What made it defiantly fly
I watched it slowly escape
Once it could reach for the sky
Now it can't support its own weight
So as time rolls by

I pray I never relate
Pray I never relate
Good God don't let me relate
God don't let me relate
I pray I never relate
God don't let me relate
God don't let me relate

Listen
Trying to get
Drunk of success fore I legally down liquor
I'm sprinting til I can swim in spritzers
I do it for the niggas that ain't even make it with us
So I'm pouring liquor but nah nigga I ain't drowning with ya
My dreams bigger see that's where we differ
Slender nigga but I move with vigor
I gotta be the victor not a victim of a trigger
Word from the wise
Don't construct round boa constrictors
They'll finish you when they finished with ya
Intentions sinister so I pray with the minister
Diplomas administered by the administration
No longer prisoner we finished with em
Thankful we alive
We survived
Gotta reach cloud nine
Just to balance our lows and highs
Like a helium balloon with no ceilings we reach the skies
Pray our environment don't expedite our demise
Niggas so scared of dying
They forget they dreams and never chase em
My fears are failure and God and the day that I face em
Far from complacent
Young dumb full of cum and ignorant omnipotent and infinite
Until we not
Ballon is popped and that's the end of it
Aye that's the end of it
F*ck

Listen
I had a dream big balloon
I watched it slowly deflate
What made it defiantly fly
I watched it slowly escape
Once it could reach for the sky
Now it can't support its own weight
So as time rolls by

I pray I never relate
Pray I never relate
I pray I never relate
God don't let me relate
God don't let me relate
Good God don't let me relate
God don't let me relate

You can do what you wanna do nigga!
Just apply ya mind and a grind to it
There's a God-given gift inside of you
And it's gone get you through it

This ain't music this a ministry
Walk by faith coming soon
