🎵 “I Don’t Care About Your Degree” 🎵
(R&B / Hip-Hop • Ann Marie-inspired energy, attitude & ad-libs)
[Intro]
(Yeah…)
(Ayy…)
(Haha…)
Why you always tryna prove somethin’?
(Huh?)
Girl, I ain’t ask all that…
Nah for real…
(Mmm)
[Verse 1]
Teacher lookin’ at me like,
“Excuse me, I got a Master’s and a PhD”
(Okay?)
I’m sittin’ in the back like,
“And what that got to do with me?”
(Huh?)
You got degrees, certificates,
Plaques all on your wall
But if you think that scares me,
Baby, that ain’t nothin’ at all
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a MTV, HIV, DVD
ABC, BET, PS3
(Haha!)
Girl, you can list the alphabet
All the way to Z
But if respect ain’t in the room
Then what you talkin’ ’bout to me?
(What?)
[Chorus]
I don’t care about your degree
(Nah)
I care how you talk to me
(Yeah)
You can have all them letters
Still ain’t better than me
(Ooh)
Got a whole bunch of titles
But where your personality?
(Ayy)
I don’t care about your degree
I care about that R-E-S-P-E-C-T
(Sing it!)
[Rap Verse]
Hold up—
You got a PhD?
That’s cool, congratulations
But why you actin’ funny
Like you own the whole nation?
(Haha)
Talkin’ down, lookin’ down,
Thinkin’ you elite
Meanwhile everybody tired
Of the way you speak
(Facts!)
I ain’t impressed by letters
I’m impressed by actions
You can be the smartest in the room
Still lack compassion
(Yeah)
You got credentials,
I got confidence
And baby that’s the difference
(Huh!)
[Bridge]
Mmm…
Talk nice, treat people right
(Ooh)
That’s what really shines
At the end of the night
(Yeah)
Degrees don’t make you royalty
No, no…
Respect and kindness
That’s the real trophy
(Ayy)
[Final Chorus]
I don’t care about your degree
(Nah, nah)
I care how you talk to me
(Yeah)
You can have a Master’s,
Doctorate, all three
(Haha)
But if respect ain’t there
Then it don’t mean a thing to me
(Ooh)
[Outro]
MTV, DVD, PS3…
(Haha!)
Girl, I know my ABCs…
But spell this with me…
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
(Yeah!)
That’s all I need…
(Ayy, ayy…)
(Mmm…)
