Schoolin' Life Songtext

von Beyoncé

This is for them 20 somethings
Time really moved fast, you were just sixteen
This is for them 30 somethings
That didn't turn out exactly how your mom and dad wanted you to be
This is for them 40 somethings
Well raise up your glass and laugh like a motherfucker
This is for them 50 somethings
Hell, you're halfway there, baby take it to the head

Mom and dad, tried to hide the world
Said the world is just too big for a little girl
Eyes wide open, can't you see
I had my first heels by the age of 13
Mom and dad, tried to hide the boys
I swear that just made 'em want me more
At 14, they asked me what I wanna be,

I said baby 21, so Id get me a drink

I'm not a teacher, babe
But I can teach you something
Not a preacher
But we can pray if you wanna
Ain't a doctor
But I can make you feel better
But I'm great at writing physical love letters
I'm a freak, all day, all night
Hot, top, flight
Boy your out of sight

And I'm crazy, all day, all night
Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

Oh oh oh oh oh oh woah oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh woah oh oh
Schoolin' Life,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh woah oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh woah oh oh
Schoolin' Life
