Song Lyrics

Hats up in the air, time for graduation
Degrees and you planned, long summer vacation

It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats up in the air, it's time for graduation
Diplomas and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduating
It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats in the air, time for graduation
Degrees and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduation, let's toast

For the fact that you made it,
You never thought that you would make it this far
Semesters got longer and longer, summers got shorter and shorter
Time was of an essence, tuition was more than a number
Patiently you waited for this day, frantic now that you see it
Can't believe it that it's here, but remember them years
When the struggle was real, away from home and you feared
That things would never get better, you only hoped that they will
As you sit in the auditorium hearing professor talk
And the lectures were nothing you gave a f*ck about
Puzzled at the same time, stressed to keep an open mind
But progress was regressed working nine to five
And then reality settled in, you be the first in your family
With a wonderful Grammy, that will soon come in handy,
And that career you were planning is getting closer like family
You dig,

It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats up in the air, it's time for graduation
Diplomas and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduating
It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats in the air, time for graduation
Degrees and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduation, let's toast

As you acrossing the stage
Your favorite song and it plays, in your head as you wave
Friends and family scream, some chanting your name
All of a sudden you gaze at the girl off the stage
That you been eyeing for a long time, a couple classes y'all took
She just gave you that look, even signed in your book
As it read for you to call her sometime
Gone be a long long summer is what you had in your mind
Let's rewind to the times when you was on the couch
With you head up in the pages trying to figure out
Ain't nothing like those quizzes teach be dishing out
That final grade you use to always seem to stress about
Borderline crazy, ever paper was graded
Thoughts of joining the navy, scholarships you're maintaining
All that difficult shit, you been through and don't miss
Until this day, prepares you for moments like this

Backpack full of books, when you walk in the room
Thirty minutes for nap then at work before noon
A couple hours just to study, off to sleep and it's two
In the morning now it sucks cause at six you're at school
Now you're back at it, hoping that you don't get a quiz
And your friends throwing parties but you work until ten
Couple hours just to study, and it's two once again
In the morning, but today you're graduation beginnings

It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats up in the air, it's time for graduation
Diplomas and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduating
It's a day for celebrating, that moment y'all been waiting
Hats in the air, time for graduation
Degrees and you planned, long summer vacation
Let's toast to graduating, let's toast to graduation, let's toast

Toast to graduating, let's toast to graduation, let's toast
Toast to graduating, let's toast to graduation, let's toast
