Verse 1

Four years of school
To get to college
Four years of that for a degree
It's easier to master knowledge
Than it is to master me

Pre Chorus

But I'm making this
My graduation party
It took awhile for me
To make it there
When I showed up
The ceremony started
I threw my cap up in the air ooh

Chorus

Oh I know I gotta graduate
Can't stay here forever
Gotta graduate
Old things pass away
When I graduate
All things become new
When I graduate

Verse 2

Thank the Lord
That I'm much smarter
Than I'd ever thought I'd be
I won't fail again I promise
Hey that's a promise
That I gotta keep

Pre Chorus

But I'm making this
My graduation party
It took awhile for me
To make it there
When I showed up
The ceremony started
I threw my cap up in the air ooh

Chorus

All I know
I gotta graduate
Can't stay here forever
Gotta graduate
Anybody know we gotta graduate
Gotta grow up now
And graduate

Chorus

I've gotta graduate
Yeah I've gotta graduate
Oh I know it's time
I better graduate
Gotta move on graduate

Chorus

Ooh graduate
Ooh graduate
Ooh graduate
Ooh graduate

Outro

Ooh graduate
Ooh graduate
