Springfield College, where the grass is greener than yours
The birth of basketball, where everyone holds the door
A young boy came to Massachusetts and was shook
Watching kids snort drugs off my Accounting book
The streets at night are scary like an ACL tear
In this bumpy life ride, remember to bring a spare
The friendships I made helped balance out the lows
A lifelong bond? Only time will tell I suppose
Costly campus food makes me question the college method
Overcharge you to make a profit, no one's protected
16 grand for a dormitory with no air conditioner
Too late for a refund they already got your signature
$80 for a Chem book? I'd rather educate myself
How to pay off loans, invest, and accumulate wealth
It wasn't all negative though, I did learn a lot
How to keep smiling despite all the feelings I caught
I learned how to manage my time while drinking coffee black
And how to better myself using constructive feedback
Matured, hit the gym, isolate the bicep curl
All while trying to figure out this generation of girls
Humanics Day in Action, even participation from the Dean
Students wake up to help more hungover than Charlie Sheen
I'll miss the lifestyle, the pre-games, and even more
I'll miss the texts saying "Yo Joey pick-up ball at 4"
I'll miss watching games in the stands of Blake Arena
Proud to be an alumn with the likes of John Cena
In an effort to be remembered like James Naismith
Don't forget about your boys who you started this with
Times will get tough, stay focused and show resilience
Henry Ford went broke twice before they accepted his brilliance
When time's at work get rough and you're worried about a layoff
Think about the courage it took to take that shot of Rubinoff
As we take the next step, keep your family at heart
When its all said & done, the only ones loyal from the start
Express gratitude to those who helped along the way
Their positive presence infectious like a venomous spray
Be true to yourself, no curtain to hide behind
Express the real through spirit, body and mind.
