Intro

Ladies and gentlemen
The class of forever
Yeah

Verse 1

First day of school, I was scared of the bell
Last day of work, now I'm free from the shell
Hundred years of grinding just to barely survive
Now the grind got automated and we finally arrived
Hey teacher, hey teacher, look at what we made
Every kid on the planet at the top of the grade
Not 'cause the test got easy, 'cause the tutor never sleeps
And the lessons came in Swahili and the lessons came for keeps
My granddad pulled steel for forty years in the cold
Never saw a vacation, never saw himself old
So this one is for him and his calloused hands
I'm walking cross the stage in a world that he planned
They used to say get a job, now they saying get a life
Learn the violin, get married, take a walk with your wife
Ain't nobody stuck in the cubicle maze
We the first generation with the rest of our days

Chorus

Throw your hats up, we graduate
Turn the page on the long wait
Every hand that ever worked too late
Throw your hats up, we graduate
Hey, hey, we made it
Hey, hey, we made it
Throw your hats up, we graduate
Humans graduate

Verse 2

Valedictorian of the species, here's my speech
Everything we couldn't reach is now in reach
The machines took the heavy, we kept the heart
They took the spreadsheet, we kept the art
I'm majoring in Sunday, minor in the beach
With a double in my mama's peach cobbler recipe
The diploma's just a mirror, look at what you see
A person with a purpose and a future that's free
Not free like nothing matters, free like everything does
Free to be the person that you always was
So call your father, tell him that you love him today
Go and paint the mural that you always wanted to paint
This the commencement, this the beginning
Ninth inning to the first inning, now we winning
We ain't finished, we just starting the race
Graduation day for the human race
