Graduation

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's fire
Huh, as we go on, we remember
All the times we spent together (ooh, woah)
As our lives change (ooh, woah), from whatever
We will still be (we will still), friends forever
And you broke, bitch, I had the last laugh
And to the dumb nigga in my science lab
How'd it feel when we fought and you caught a jab?
Man, fuck prom, fuck the teacher that was always talkin' on the intercom
And fuck the student that we thought was always gon' bring in a bomb
And all of the girls wild, them bitches was too foul
They all on my dick now
Huh, as we go on (as we go on), we remember (we remember)
All the times we (all the times), spent together (ooh, woah)
As our lives change (ooh, woah), from whatever
We will still be (we will still), friends forever
Um, information leaker, had a crush on one of my teachers
Used to fantasize makin' love with her behind the bleachers
And to all the people who ain't like me, I ain't like me either
Half my class was havin' kids, guess we had that jungle fever
Uh, I was waitin' for my graduation (uh-huh), growin' impatient (uh-huh)
What I didn't know was this grown-up world (this grown-up world)
Was just school in a blown-up world (this blown-up world)
There's still gossip, there's still drama, there's still problems
There's a right and there's a wrong
There's still people that I think won't love me 'til I'm gone
Low-key miss the days walkin' 'round in my school halls
But now I got a bigger job, the world screamin' my songs
Huh, as we go on (as we go on), we remember (we remember)
All the times we (all the times), spent together (we were close)
As our lives change (as we change), from whatever (from what we know)
We will still be (we will still), friends forever (enemies 'til the end)
Lauren is such a bitch (I know, right?)
I don't even understand why guys like her, she's not even cute
She's not even pretty
Have you seen how much makeup she wears?
And by the way she Facetunes her pictures so much (oh my God, you are so right)
I honestly think she bought her followers
She barely gets any likes anyway (um, she's honestly kinda sad)
And you wanna know the craziest part about all of it? (What?)
She doesn't even have any idea
Her boyfriend's been cheatin' on her this entire time (huh?)
The Benny Blanco song Graduation is a reflection on the transition from high school to adulthood. The song begins with a catchy chorus where the singer talks about memories and friends being made in high school, stressing the significance of the time spent together as well as change that happens in their lives after college. An important component of the first verse is the singer's message to his former classmates. He directs his message to three separate individuals: one girl who was poor, a boy he had a fight with, and several girls who once rejected him but are now interested. The singer seems to not have gotten over what happened to him in high school, and in some sense, he is seeking revenge. In the second verse, the singer confesses to having a crush on one of his teachers and talks about how uneven high school years could be since some classmates were having kids, while some were waiting to graduate.
Despite the passage of time, Benny Blanco highlights that life can still be full of hardships with gossip, drama, and problems. Most people tend to think that after graduation, their life will be simple, but life always finds its way of throwing its curveballs. He misses his high school days, but on a greater scale, the adult world is more chaotic than he could have anticipated. The transition to adulthood is a process, and with time it’s easier to deal with. The chorus repeats again, with a slight change where the phrase "enemies till the end" is added, highlighting the fact that some friendships don't stand the test of time. The message is clear, that life is a roller coaster, sometimes being in high school is not as exciting as anticipated, but it's a phase that defines one's life.
