Schoolin' Life - Beyoncé

This is for them 20s somethings

Time really moves fast, you were just sixteen

This is for them 30s somethings

That didn’t turn out exactly

How your mom and dad wanted you to be

This is for them 40s somethings

Well raise up your glass and laugh like a…

This is for them 50s somethings

Hey, you’re halfway there

Baby take it to the head

Mom and dad, tryna have a word

Said the world is just too big for a little girl

Eyes wide open, came to see

I had my first heels by the age of 13

Mom and dad, tryna have the boys

I swear that just make them want me more

At 14, they asked what I wanna be,

I said baby 21, so I 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 these sick love letters

I’m a freak, all day, all night

Hot, tap, sway

Boy out of sight

And I’m crazy, all day, all night

Who needs a degree when you’re schoolin' life

Schoolin' life oh oh oh schoolin' life

This is for them pretty somethings

Living in a fastlane, see you when you crash babe

This is for them sexy somethings

That body can’t always get ya out of everything

This is for them bitter somethings

Stop living in regret, baby, it’s not over yet

And this is for them?

somethings

That’s high old life, baby, put me on your flight

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 these sick love letters

I’m a freak, all day, all night

Hot, tap, sway boy out of sight

And I’m crazy, all day, all night

Who needs a degree when you’re schoolin' life

Schoolin' life oh oh oh schoolin' life

You know it costs to be the boss

One day you’ll run the town

For now make your life what you decide

Baby, party til the fire mashes

Shuts this s*cker down

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 these sick love letters

I’m a freak, all day, all night

Hot, tap, sway

Boy out of sight

And I’m crazy, all day, all night

Who needs a degree when you’re schoolin' life

Schoolin' life oh oh oh schoolin' life oh oh oh

There’s not a real way to live this for real

Just remember stay oh yeah, oh yeah

Don’t stop running until it’s finished

It’s up to you, the rest is unwritten
