Cap and Gown Flow

Yeah

We made it here

Look

Turn it up one time (hey!)

Used to write my name in the margin

Half-asleep, hoodie up in the back, still starvin'

Now they call my name on the loud mic

Mama in the crowd with her phone on highlight

Late nights, tired eyes on the blue screen

Thoughts heavy, heart racing like a new dream

Every “L” in my book was a lesson

Every little doubt turned fuel, progression

Throw your cap in the air, this our moment

We ain’t come this far just to slow it

From the first day bell to the last one ringing

This is our year, hear the whole class singing

We did it, we did it, yeah we proved ’em wrong

Turn the page, new stage, but we still stand strong

Throw your cap in the air, let the world know

This that cap and gown flow (cap and gown flow)

Hallway talks, lockers full of secrets

Friends that I lost, friends that I keep with

Tears in the car, grades on the line

Told myself “push,” it’ll all be fine

Had days I was ready just to give in

Now I’m in a fit that I look real fresh in (woah)

Same kid, new walk, new vision

Same heart, new road, new mission

Throw your cap in the air, this our moment

We ain’t come this far just to slow it

From the first day bell to the last one ringing

This is our year, hear the whole class singing

We did it, we did it, yeah we proved ’em wrong

Turn the page, new stage, but we still stand strong

Throw your cap in the air, let the world know

This that cap and gown flow (cap and gown flow)

For the ones who said “I can’t” — look at me now

For the ones who held me up — take a bow

Every late night prayer, every “you got this”

All on my back when I walk off this campus

Throw your cap in the air, this our moment

We ain’t come this far just to slow it

From the first day bell to the last one ringing

This is our year, hear the whole class singing

We did it, we did it, yeah we proved ’em wrong

Turn the page, new stage, but we still stand strong

Throw your cap in the air, let the world know

This that cap and gown flow (cap and gown flow)
