[Verse 1 — dark, mocking tone]
They said “one-time aid,” I called it smoke,
Ten years of tuition, dreams revoked.
Paper in hand, but the fire burns,
Every step I take, another cruel turn.
Email says, “We remain committed to your education,”
I read between the lines: phantom dedication.
Alternate funding, forms I chase,
Every “helpful tip” a ghostly face.
[Pre-Hook — sarcastic whisper]
“Financial aid will continue,” they cheer,
While I drown in deadlines, ten years near.
[Hook — explosive, trap-style]
Dollar-for-dollar, nothing in return,
Your tuition flames while the students burn.
Ghosted grades, vanished aid,
Welcome to the Mill, your dues unpaid.
[Verse 2 — pull Part 1 fire]
“Military tuition assistance may be delayed,” they say,
But somehow I’m still paying every day.
Ten years, ten forms, ten ghosted lines,
All for a certificate that barely shines.
Email tells me, “We encourage alternate funding,”
I need a miracle, not another running.
Credits I bought, knowledge I fear,
All this for a degree that disappears.
[Pre-Hook — mocking tone]
Policies stacked like walls of glass,
One wrong click and your hopes won’t last.
[Hook — reprise]
Dollar-for-dollar, nothing in return,
Your tuition flames while the students burn.
Ghosted grades, vanished aid,
Welcome to the Mill, your dues unpaid.
[Bridge — scorched sarcasm]
“Financial solutions advisors are here,” they say,
Mostly we watch while you fade away.
Email promises, but nothing is real,
Ten years of tuition, still trapped in the deal.
“We remain committed to you, your education, and your goals,”
Translation: chase forms, empty holes.
One-time aid? A token, a jest,
Everything else? A test you can’t best.
[Final Hook — nuclear]
Dollar-for-dollar, nothing in return,
Phantom professors vanish as credits burn.
Ghosted grades, content from afar,
Your degree mill screams: “Dollar-for-dollar, bizarre.”
[Outro — whispered / fading]
Log in tomorrow, same haunted screen,
Ten years of tuition chasing a dream.
Emails don’t teach, they just repeat,
Welcome to the Mill… admit defeat.
