Intro

They had us graphing lines, but missed the bottom line, deadass Real life slappin’ hard, tryna catch up in time, on God

Verse 1

Card declined at the bodega, cashier givin’ that look like I’m done Student loans stackin’ quiet, dreams fading straight to none Signed blind like a dummy, papers thick as the pack Payments snatching my whole bag before the rent even attack Emergency fund? Dead broke, one slip I’m toast in the streets Landlord winning the game, I’m dodging eviction beats Collections ringing my line, swiping ignore on repeat They never taught this money shit, left us incomplete

Pre-chorus

Forms they never mentioned, now I’m learning in the field on my lone Real world hitting different, no syllabus, straight on my own

Chorus

We the Syllabus!, We the Syllabus! They skipped the real game, now we paying that price heavy!, paying heavy! We the Syllabus!, We the Syllabus! Mind gone from the stress but we flipping it steady!, flipping steady! Skipped the class!, Skipped! Real life crash course fast! Learn or get burned in these streets, no cap, make it last!

Verse 2

Anxiety creeping pre-dawn, chest tight like a vice grip Scrolling till the sun up, eyes red, losing my shit Grades on point but inside falling apart quick Burnout creeping like opps, they ain’t teach us this trick Journal out the chaos, hit the block to move the frame Ask for help no shame, we ain’t playing they game They sold the success lie, but the mental tax don’t play fair We healing on our terms, out here building from despair

Pre-chorus

Front row in the books, back row mental spin Time to own the tools, let the real healing begin

Chorus

Verse 3

Lease print microscopic, landlord hiding fees like a snake Signed quick in the rush, now my pockets getting drained Job lock-in clauses, can’t bounce when the bag calls right Never sign blind, lawyer up or kiss your freedom goodnight Ask every question slow, protect what you create NDAs and the traps, know your rights or seal your fate

Bridge

All this weight crashing, head spinning in the trap at night Unprepared for the game, system left us to fight Burnt out from the hustle, feeling lost in the fight But the spark still there… we gon’ ignite

Verse 4

The scrolls picking your brain, feeding you the rage bait Every tap they banking data, selling your soul straight Smart tools learning your moves, don’t sleep, learn the play Use ‘em for the come up, create every day Curate your feed, fact check on the lowkey Be the builder not the product, take control, on me

Verse 5

We in group chats dropping gems, YouTube the new block lecture Audiobooks on the commute, real mentors on the connector Comments adding knowledge, share the lesson, take the lecture Institutions slept hard, but we catching up faster Peer power education, this the real squad Together we rewrite the game, no turning back, deadass

Chorus

Outro

Yeah, stairway wisdom spreading through the hood, son Learn today, teach tomorrow, the battle’s won, on God We the Syllabus… no cap.
