[Verse 1: Jay Pharoah] Your future is hazy Tryna figure it out Askin' why I'm here So you crashin' in doubt It's your choice, so voice it Whole world your oyster Can't be droppin' the ball When your future's nothing to toy with Telescope and stay focused Make a mark and get noticed? Get the degree, thermostat Help me out, FLOTUS!
[Hook: Jay Pharoah + Michelle Obama] If you wanna fly jets, you should go to college Reach high and cash checks, fill your head with knowledge If you wanna watch paint, don't go to college But for everything else, you should go to college
[Verse 2: Jay Pharoah] You could study engineering, they be buildin' robots Build bridges, commute, you can get your walk on Be a math major, hop a moon crater Be an astronaut, be up in the sky like Vader Finance isn't science but you still need a degree Archaeology, astronomy, but not astrology No, no, no
[Verse 3: Michelle Obama] FLOTUS on the track South Side, Chicago, we all know We had to do overtime every night to make it tomorrow And everyone could really make their dream true Hey, kid listenin' in Michigan, that could be you
[Verse 4: Jay Pharoah] But a dream is just a dream unless you go hard Einstein put in time, here's a flow chart Naturally, it won't happen magically But you can change fantasy into reality so dramatically
[Hook: Jay Pharoah + Michelle Obama] If you wanna fight crime, you should go to college If you wanna write rhymes, fill your head with knowledge If you wanna stare at grass, don't go to college But for everything else, you should go to college
[Outro: Jay Pharoah] Better make room! Better make room! We comin'! We applyin'! That paper is not getting thrown in the garbage! You go to college!
