Graduation

[Intro]
Oh, that's the way it goes
When you wanna live your life right
Oh, when the time comes
I know that I'll make it somewhere in my life

[Verse 1]
It was a cold night staying up late
Thinking 'bout my only future that is at state (oh yeah)
When the stars aline, I know I must take (oh yeah)
Whatever opportunities that come my way

[Chorus]
But, now, now is my time
To get up and shine like I never have before (no)
Now (now), I only live once
So, I gotta make my life worth living for

[Verse 2]
Momma told me "Stay strong"
Father did too (oh yеah)
When graduation comes around, I know that I'm through (oh yeah)
All thе other bullshit I've dealt with before (oh yeah)
Now, it's time for me to shine like I never did before (no)
"Always keep your head high"
That's what Father said (he did)
Never give your dreams up
That's all in your head (that's all in your head)
I know your creativity will make it somewhere (oh yeah)
So, go and find that pathway that'll take you somewhere, no

[Chorus]
Oh (oh), that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
When you wanna live your life right (oh baby, no)
Oh, when the time comes (when the time comes)
I know that I'll make it somewhere in my life (oh no)
Now (now), now is my time (now is my time)
To get up and shine like I never have before (to get up and shine baby)
Now (now), I only live once (I only, baby)
So, I gotta make my life worth living for (oh no, oh no)
Now, now is my time
To get up and shine like I never have before
Now, I only live once
So, I gotta make my life worth living for
