Every now and then, I wonder why I spend time following the crowd They say time is valuable, so we spend it in school Cause they tell us that's how You build your career, like we're the ones who steer But I'm wasting my day I'd rather get a head start and listen to my heart But I'm afraid of change And I know I'm not the only one who feels like they're not But they've been long waiting to make the world my stage But I can't cause I'm high It's time to put the books away I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love Oh, and if I stay, what difference will it make? It's a shame degrees don't take a couple days All the time I've lost, I hear myself and not Sitting wondering what's the opportunity cost If I left, what if I fall off track? People telling me make sure you got a full back It's a risk that I'm willing to take It could be the best mistake that I ever made I know I'm not the only one who feels like they're not But they've been long waiting to make the world my stage But I can't cause I'm high It's time to put the books away I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna stay in school Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna spend the money Cause I'd be better off Putting in 10,000 hours Doing what I love No, I don't wanna spend the money
