Application

Hi, come on in, door's open
Hi, you must be Manuel, hi
Uh, you ready to sit down?
Take a seat, go 'head
We'll get ready when you're comfy
I just need to tell you bout, um-
So, Manuel, what colleges have you been looking into for next year?
Oh, uh, I-I haven't really been looking that much around
Well you gotta have at least one place, any scholarships as well
I was just thinking that college may not be the best decision for me right now
Well then, what in the hell do you exactly plan on doing since you think that?
You see, the thing is...

You can't take my ingenuity, put that on my application
You can't take my creativity, put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
You can't take how I feel, and put that on my application
You can't take how I real, and put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
(Application)

Ooh baby, ooh ooh
Just rub it in, ooh
Spread it all over that paper ooh, let it sing, ooh
Eighty bucks a semester, that shit's so frustrating
And all this trouble and even if they let us in
They be like:
"Will that be debit or credit?"
Shit, I got a visa
I ain't got time for no edits
Such a nice vista, shit
Just thinking 'bout my future makes me a Chris Kyle
Whole time saving face, without a single smile
I wouldn't get mad
If somebody was trying to jack my style
I haven't love, felt love, or something beautiful in quite a while
I'd take it as a compliment
I haven't even comprehend
Why we fantasize going to college
Over starting our own lives again
I want passion, freedom, an anti-pride life
I wanna change the world
But society saying "That's suicide"
I've had a taste
Lost it all before the 4th grade
Somehow I got this far
Sometimes I think it's a mistake

You can't take my ingenuity, put that on my application
You can't take my creativity, put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
(Application)
You can't take how I feel, and put that on my application
You can't take how I real, and put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
(Application)

Oh my lawd, boy
If you dont fix your motherfucking life right now
What the fuck are you doing now?
T-that is the dumbest shit I ever lawd have, have, have
I always think to myself
"What if this don't work out?"
But wait, since when does life ever even work out?
Delaying the inevitable
For a four year interval
Don't sound reasonable
My life's already far too miserable
I ain't no ordinary joe
You can see from my work
I ain't got an angel's voice
So I let the music pull the ropes
I got words like butter, I got meaning somewhere
I mean it's a side hustle, neither of my parents even know
I look around and I see mostly disappointment
My minds in the future, very rarely in the moment
I be comparing where everyone in the room is going
Even then, in the industry and my confidence starts growing
I don't know what's my drive, why I wanna do this
The end-all, fuck-all final 'I'm gonna lose this'
I'm running out of time
I gotta deci-duate
I'm running out of options
I gotta fucking graduate
I'm running for my life
I got tons to contemplate
I'm running in these streets
I swear I'm, I'm going straight
Into misery, struggle, they say I'm a disease
All this shit I been given, it's giving me dis-ease
Uh, bitch please
This the part where I seize, my chance and my hands
At the concert I ain't have yet, man
Rebuttal, I can't ignore, but my college application
Is a burden on my soul, and I can't take it anymore
There's no way you fucking got all of that
No way, no fucking way

You can't take my ingenuity, put that on my application
You can't take my creativity, put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
(Application)
You can't take how I feel, and put that on my application
You can't take how I real, and put that on my application
You can't take all the shit I been through, put that on my application
(Application)

Manuel, are you ok?
Did you just zone out?
I've called your name twice
Goddamn, you really are hopeless
Y'know what, here
You're wasting some other statistics' time in here-
I mean, students' ugh, just leave, god
When will you children learn that these glory high school days don't last forever
Fuck
What's next?
