[ Featuring Menahan Street Band ]
The life of a scholar could be quite hard
Rising early in the morning gotta set their alarm
Some live close by some come from afar
Either catching the bus or arriving by car
In class we sit together
Oh, this jacket is speaking, always hittin' the sun
But with all our hard work
Gonna go far, college down, we are-
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
S for scholarship, achieving those aims
C, creativity's in my veins age
H, honesty and being true to myself
O, openin' up my hands for my brothers for help
L, love for my people, my teachers, my fam
A, aspire when I be all that I can
R, respect to all I meet everyday
On the path to college, that's the scholar's way
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
Every day we're meeting challenges, long after the sun
Has set down in the sky and the night has begun
They're sayin' we say we can't, who say we'll come undone?
Before each other we could go and never to succumb
To those verses against us with my brothers and ones
Reaching new heights, the whole world will be stunned
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
It's the life-, life, life of a scholar
