Graduation by Terence Penny Lyrics
[Intro: Terence Penny]
Shout out to the graduates
Shout out to the graduates
[Chorus: Temi]
Tell me how did I end up not falling, like the rest
Living life oh so reckless, I'm wandering close to death
Running lost but, now I'm found
All because, I'm blessed
Cap and gown on, held me down but
I'm blessed
[Verse: Terence Penny]
See ya boy just graduated (yeah)
If it wasn't for his grace I would've never made it (nah never)
See I ain't posed to be here
Never saw the vision, till he let me see clear (yeah)
And now I got my cap and gown on (uh)
I ain't the kid that the devil used to clown on (yeah)
See I'm a conqueror, (whoa)
See I'm unstoppable (whoa)
When you keep your faith in God all is possible (ay, ay)
First in my family to ever go to college (Yeah)
First in my family to ever break this bondage (that's right)
Living by the word always kept a brother honest (that's true)
Even when it's tough I stay anchored in his promise (yeah)
The system didn't plan for another youth to make it (uhuh)
A kid from Jane and Finch with a trim to come and change it
Always stay rooted (rooted)
Always give back (back)
Especially to the people who help you to stay on track
[Chorus: Temi]
Tell me how did I end up not falling, like the rest
Living life oh so reckless, I'm wandering close to death
Running lost but, now I'm found
All because, I'm blessed
Cap and gown on, held me down but
I'm blessed
[Verse: Terence Penny]
See college wasn't easy
Had a couple girls that would holla at me on weekly
(Haha well, I thought I did, haha)
Stepping on a O had a brother feeling so wheezy
Struggling with the work that my friends thought was so easy
But let me tell bout it
Tryna be a Christian in the place where it be doubted
Where women throw themselves at you hoping that you bout it
Where they keep the fire burning but they hoping that out it
Danny with the help and Relly with the support
Tommy teaching me on how squash really a sport
I wasn't really bout it till after we hit the court
I got the best of friends at school they be my core
Remember the times I was crashing on the bus
8am classes had me in a rush
If I do it again then you'd know I do it twice
Then you'd know I do it twice
[Pre-Chorus: Terence Penny]
Don't listen to them haters regardless of what they say
Keep your eyes on the prize and never forget to pray
Always work hard you never know who be watching
Forever stay alert cause these people forever talking
Keep God in the centre and never do it for you
And always stay honest regardless of what they do
A lot of people false my brother circle the truth
I graduated college with knowledge about the truth
[Outro: Terence Penny]
I did it
I never thought I'd do this
I thank you
To be honest, I never thought I'd see this day you know
I never thought I'd ever graduate
I realized in life you got grow through what you go through
To see a new you
I never thought I'd graduate
I never thought I'd graduate
Not at all, man Thank God
Shout out to the graduates
Shout out to the graduates
[Chorus: Temi]
Tell me how did I end up not falling, like the rest

Running lost but, now I'm found
