verse 1

i'm here to warn you about a scam disguised as education
cause it is definitely a trend that is sweeping on our nation
and this warning i'm recording is my social obligation
cause we're dying on the table like a healthcare-less patient
they are coaxing those who are yearning to learn
those who can't comprehend all the words and the terms
those who've yet to understand our unstable world
so they've yet to find the courage to diverge from the herd
they are a corporation disguised as a college
draining young minds of their times and their wallets
making massive profits off of enterprised knowledge
cause they think that no one will ever stop them
but if opportunity comes stacked in advance
the back payments make you a slave to the banks
but the pursuit of happiness it ain't happenstance
as it happens i'll fight back with this angry chant

chorus

cause we got student loans
always calling our phone
always mailing our home
always gnawing our bone
it's a debt trap
and you're not a loan
so i am dropping these bombs
by rapping this song

we got student loans
always calling our phone
always mailing our home
always gnawing our bone
it's a debt trap
and you're not a loan
so i am dropping these bombs
by rapping this song

verse 2

the government is a scam, uncle sam is a bank
take a loan from a shark and you'll swim in the tank
mentor creditors, academic predators
how can you be bettered now that you're a debitor
this ain't a joke song, there are real people struggling
it's troubling how quickly this debt starts doubling
it's humbling how numbing my nativity stunned me
a back page story from a first world country
and the only thing i've discerned in the learn
is how to take a person and turn them into a surf
so please heed this message and do your research
they've got fund sucking leeches disguised as teachers
payments lower than the interest in the interest of business
cause you've can't have a system without cracking a few victims
it's the promise of progress at it's most obvious
when you walk around and you feel all this hotness
this world is a hot mess everything is a contest
boiling our frogness with the promise of progress
if i'm being honest then please write to congress
we should probably just ban all schools for profit
education should be free, it's something we all need
break the wheels of greed and let order proceed
basically we'll all bleed if it means to succeed
but student loans pose a threat just like any disease

chorus
