INTRO
Yo, it's graduation day, time to celebrate
VERSE 1
From the 8th-grade journey, we elevate.
Started as kids, now we're on our way,
To the high school dreams, no time to delay, ay
Homeroom memories, and cafeteria fights
Studying hard to get those grades right
But through the ups and downs, we stayed tight
Now it's time to spread our wings and take flight
CHORUS
Graduating 8th grade, yeah, we made it through
From the classrooms to the hallways, we grew
It's our time to shine, no looking back
Onward to high school, no time to slack
VERSE 2
Teachers pushing us to reach our full potential
Lessons learned now it's essential
Math problems, yeah you know that was e
English essays, Miss Russel
Science experiments Mr. Williams
Blowing minds in many ways
Friends made, bonds that'll never fade
Through the tests and quizzes, the memories are made
Now it's time to say goodbye, but not farewell
High school's calling ready to excel
CHORUS
Graduating 8th grade, yeah, we made it through
(Ooh, we made it)
From the classrooms to the hallways, we grew
It's our time to shine, no looking back
(Ooh, we made it)
Onward to high school, no time to slack
VERSE 3
So let's raise a toast to the times we had
The laughter, the struggles, the good and the bad
But now it's time to turn the page,
To this new chapter, unleash that rage
CHORUS
Graduating 8th grade, yeah, we made it through
(Ooh, we made it)
From the classrooms to the hallways, we grew
It's our time to shine, no looking back
(Ooh, we made it)
Onward to high school, no time to slack
VERSE 4
So here's to us, the 8th-grade crew
Ready to conquer whatever's in the view
With determination and courage, we'll pave our way
Graduating 8th grade, let's seize the day!
No worries, let's go off the dome then
Graduating 8th grade, yeah, we made it through
Ay at least we grew too
Ay, and lets show ‘em how we gonna make it through, yeah
CHORUS
Graduating 8th grade, yeah, we made it through
(Ooh, we made it)
From the classrooms to the hallways, we grew
It's our time to shine, no looking back
(Ooh, we made it)
Onward to high school, no time to slack
OUTRO
So here's to us, the 8th-grade crew
Ready to conquer whatever's in the view
AY, we made it through
So lets show them what we’re made of
And show ‘em how we gonna make it though
