Springfield College, where the grass is greener than yours

The birth of basketball, where everyone holds the door

A young boy came to Massachusetts and was shook

Watching kids snort drugs off my Accounting book

The streets at night are scary like an ACL tear

In this bumpy life ride, remember to bring a spare

The friendships I made helped balance out the lows

A lifelong bond? Only time will tell I suppose

Costly campus food makes me question the college method

Overcharge you to make a profit, no one's protected

16 grand for a dormitory with no air conditioner

Too late for a refund they already got your signature

$80 for a Chem book? I'd rather educate myself

How to pay off loans, invest, and accumulate wealth

It wasn't all negative though, I did learn a lot

How to keep smiling despite all the feelings I caught

I learned how to manage my time while drinking coffee black

And how to better myself using constructive feedback

Matured, hit the gym, isolate the bicep curl

All while trying to figure out this generation of girls

Humanics Day in Action, even participation from the Dean

Students wake up to help more hungover than Charlie Sheen

I'll miss the lifestyle, the pre-games, and even more

I'll miss the texts saying "Yo Joey pick-up ball at 4"

I'll miss watching games in the stands of Blake Arena

Proud to be an alumn with the likes of John Cena

In an effort to be remembered like James Naismith

Don't forget about your boys who you started this with

Times will get tough, stay focused and show resilience

Henry Ford went broke twice before they accepted his brilliance

When time's at work get rough and you're worried about a layoff

Think about the courage it took to take that shot of Rubinoff

As we take the next step, keep your family at heart

When its all said & done, the only ones loyal from the start

Express gratitude to those who helped along the way

Their positive presence infectious like a venomous spray

Be true to yourself, no curtain to hide behind

Express the real through spirit, body and mind.
