《Last Student》的詞曲由J. Cole所創作,以下是這首歌的詞:
Verse 1:
Yeah, I ain't got no problems with no one
But I ain't tryna be the last student in the class
My whole life, I've been learning from the wrong teacher
Now I'm just tryna get my degree, yeah
Chorus:
But I ain't tryna be the last student
To graduate from this school of life
So they can say I learned my lesson
And I ain't tryna be the last one
To come to the light
Verse 2:
Now it's only natural for us to compare ourselves
To the people we see around us
But the only competition that matters is against my own self
I been a prisoner to a broke mentality
And it took a toll on me and my spirit, yeah
Chorus:
But I ain't tryna be the last student
To graduate from this school of life
So they can say I learned my lesson
And I ain't tryna be the last one
To come to the light
Bridge:
So let me live my life and just be true to myself
And not be a part of the system that cheats itself
Yeah, and when it's my time to leave, I'll be ready for that moment, yeah
'Cause I ain't been taught to run and hide from what I am, yeah
Chorus:
But I ain't tryna be the last student
To graduate from this school of life
So they can say I learned my lesson
And I ain't tryna be the last one
To come to the light
Outro:
Yeah, so long, farewell, and good luck to you too, yeah.
