“High School Dropout” is about making it big though having flunked out of high school.
Frank Kadillac, singer of Neon Dreams, did fail high school, then tried to go to college, but dropped out of college shortly after getting in. He was inspired to write a song about his incomplete educational care...
[Verse 1]
I was singing, I was singing those same damn blues
Let's be honest
People change, people change, I been changing too
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Levelled up with my pumped up kicks, rock with you on my MJ shit
On a new wave over your head, caught a vibe and I'm riding it
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds
Keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming out loud
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds, clouds
But don't take it from me
[Chorus]
I'm just a high school dropout
It's funny how it turned around
Just a burnout
Tell me who's laughing now
Out here living my best life
Something in the air tonight
High school dropout
It's funny how it turns around
[Verse 2]
I was tripping, I was tripping tryna fill those shoes
Let's be honest
One size don't fit all, that's the truth
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Levelled up with my pumped up kicks, rocking out on my André 3K shit
Fly high, I can kiss the sky, close my eyes and I know that we gon' be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds
Keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming out loud
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds, clouds
But don't take it from me
[Chorus]
I'm just a high school dropout
It's funny how it turned around
Just a burnout
Tell me who's laughing now
Out here living my best life
Something in the air tonight
High school dropout
It's funny how it turns around
[Chorus]
High school dropout
It's funny how it turned around
Just a burnout
Tell me who's laughing now
Out here living my best life
Something in the air tonight
High school dropout
It's funny how it turns around
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds
Keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming out loud
Oh, get your head up, get your head in the clouds, clouds
But don't take it from me
[Chorus]
I'm just a high school dropout
It's funny how it turned around
Just a burnout
Tell me who's laughing now
Out here living my best life
Something in the air tonight
High school dropout
It's funny how it turns around
[Chorus]
High school dropout
It's funny how it turned around
Tell me who's laughing now
Out here living my best life
Something in the air tonight
High school dropout
It's funny how it turns around
