KV - Scholar [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]

A young scholar with super knowledge
Never thought I'd see the day that I would have to drop out of college
I guess I prolly' should of been more dedicated to getting educated
Do more papers so I could go get 'em graded
I mean, for my work ethic I had no respect
Cause I only made it through a deep connect, it's who ya know
But you would think I would take advantage cause these chances vanish
Should of been over-zealous cause when it comes to learning man you gotta stay famished
But for some reason new things seemed rancid
And life won't wait man that's word to rancid
Feeling like a prisoner in the school and whether I make it out or not I gotta pay a ransom
Life's a woman on ice I tried to Tessa Virtue and ended up dancing
And now my consciousness wasn't fully aware of the consequence of not completing this obstacle
That I made more complicated than it needed to be
So when it was time for the challenge
It was too complex for me to conquer it

[HOOK]

And if I don't change
Don't treat me a way
Cause I'm a young scholar
I'm a young scholar
Don't throw dirt on my name
Try to bring shame
Cause I done took the blame yea
I'm a young scholar
I'm a young scholar

[Verse 2:]

Damn, I should of, put in my best work
School wasn't with my lack of effort
Calls to the office saying to go to class more often cause
Financial aid was gunna drop what they had offered
But I didn't follow orders
Guess my mind was distorted
I have no one else to blame
I put the nail in the coffin
I tried to be a rebel I
Should of been more eager
Cause I end up moving backwards, lost the vision like Leber
C,D,F's all on my name
Knowing I don't want them there
Still tell 'em that school is fine
Cause that's what they wanna hear
Even though things are going wrong
But I cannot tell 'em that
Cause once they hear about the slack
Man they'll probably treat you bad
Man they'll probably think you're stupid
Man they'll probably think you're losing
Man they'll probably think you'll make excuses to make no improvements
Man they'll probably say you gotta brain but you don't ever use it
Just a D student a genius with no records to prove it

[HOOK]

[Verse 3:]

I watched my sister get her bachelor's
And I'm gon' watch her get her master's too
And everybody telling me
To go back to school
Cause at her celebration
They said the time has been passed to you
Yea, that opened up the floor
I tryda ignore the conversation
Cause I feel insecure
Knowing damn well that if I go back I'm gunna do poor
Cause when it comes to school and music
Which one am I into more? Yea!
And I ain't gon' lie about it
Few years ago, my school advisor
Met my mother and tried to advise her
Not to pay too much for college
Cause she was doubting
She was right about
But in my mind I was making it
Cause I spit Riker's Island
And everyone says I need a fallback
But what happens if my fall back starts falling back
And I don't know where I fall at
Matter fact, I ain't gon' make the 'ifs' a hassle
Imma throw the cap up right after I cross the stage
And change sides of the tassel

[HOOK]
