Schoolin’ Life Beyoncé

[Verse 1]
This is for them twenty-somethings
Time really moves fast, you were just sixteen
This is for them thirty-somethings
That didn't turn out exactly how your mom and dad wanted you to be
This is for them forty-somethings
Well, raise up your glass and laugh like a mother****
This is for them fifty-somethings
Hell, you're halfway there, baby, take it to the head

[Pre-Chorus]
Mom and Dad tried to hide the world
Said the world's just too big for a little girl
Eyes wide open, can't you see?
I had my first heels by the age of thirteen
Mom and Dad tried to hide the boys
I swear, that just made 'em want me more
At fourteen, they asked me what I wanna be
I said, "Baby, twenty-one, so I get me a drink"

[Chorus]
I'm not a teacher, baby, but I can teach you somethin'
Not a preacher, but we can pray if you wanna
Ain't a doctor, but I can make you feel better
But I'm great at writin' physical love letters
I'm a freak, all day, a-a-all night, ooh
Hot, top, flight, boy, I'm out of sight
And I'm crazy, all day, a-a-all night
Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life?
