"School Spirit Skit 2" is the sixteenth track from Kanye West's debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004).[1] The track solely features vocals from DeRay Davis.[2]

The skit continues the theme of the album as DeRay sarcastically talks about how degrees will keep him successful in life.

Lyrics[]

[Interlude]
You keep it going, man, you keep those books rolling
You, you pick up all those books that you're gonna read
And not remember and you roll, man
You get that Associate degree, okay?
Then you get your Bachelors', then you get your Masters
Then you get your Master's masters
Then you get your Doctrine
You go, man
And then, when everybody says quit
You show them those degree, man
When everyone says, "Hey, you're not working, you're not making any money"
You say, "You look at my degrees, and you look at my life
Yeah, I'm 52, so what?"
Hate all you want, but I'm smart, I'm so smart
And, and I'm in school
These guys are out here making money all these ways
And I'm spending mine to be smart
You know why?
'Cause when I die, buddy
You know what's gonna keep me warm?
That's right, those degrees
