Lyrics to In One Ear: Law School Remix

This one is for all of those lower-ranked law schools out-there
Whose students be working their ass off day in and day out
And get no respect
Yeah, you know who you are
Well, I’m here to tell you
You just keep doing you
Because haters gonna hate
And players gonna play
But baby we all gonna get jobs at the end of the day
HAHA!!! S.U.-ED’s back!!!!

They say that we ain’t got the rank
No, we won’t make it far
We ain’t got the skills
That’re going to help us pass the Bar
And I’m a tactless amateur
Who’s unworthy of the law
I’m an unambitious simpleton
Who won’t ever own a yacht
They say that I won’t land a bid
Or attract rich clientele
Hell will sooner freeze
Than me work for Sullivan & Cromwell

Another corporate wannabe
Who’s just a waste of a degree
Oh, they’d love to see me fail
But BITCH, you know I CAN compete

Cus it goes in one ear
And right out the other
Law schools talking shit
But you know I never bother
It goes in one ear
And right out the other
Lawyers talking shit
Well, they can kiss my
Damn Learned Hand

Now, you know I'm not a scrub
I’ve been a gunner all my life
I can BlueBook like a BOSS
So, yes I do know how to cite
They wanna ostracize
Balkanize
Dominate the system
So we can’t cash in
On that ivy nepotism
They say my books are out-of-date
My views, impolitic
The only way I’ll get a job
Is if I suck the partner’s…. (use your imagination)

They think that they’re on top
Superior, Elite
But if they appeal their losing case
You know I’ll write the winning brief

Cus it goes in one ear
And right out the other
Law schools talking shit
But you know I never bother

It goes in one ear
And right out the other
Lawyers talking shit
Well, they can kiss my
Damn Learned Hand


Audio Segments Taken from The Mr. Show: Law Firm Interview

Interviewer #1:Daniel, you were one of the top in your class at Harvard.

Dan: THE top of my class, Sir.

Interviewer #1: That’s why you’re here.

Interviewer #2: Dan, as a member of this firm you’ll be one of the elite and a life of privilege will be yours.

Interviewer #1: Dan, we would like you to give us a blowjob.

Dan: Ugh. I’m sorry? A blowjob?

Interviewer #1: Dan, look out that window. Ninety lawyers work at this firm. Most of them come to work, never make more than $45,000 in a year. You would be in the top 2% in the country.

Interviewer #2: And that’s just in the first year.

Dan: I’m a lawyer!

Interviewer #2: And we are one of the largest law firms in the country. Yeah, so?

Interviewer #1: Dan, you would have a beautiful house.

Dan: I was the first in my class in law!

Interviewer #1: Well, it should be a very good blowjob then.


You hear that?
Do you hear what’s coming?
Oh, you better run before we get here
Cus we’re coming to your workplace
And we’re gonna win that
Mother-fucking case!!!

Here’s the moral to the story
We don’t do it for the glory
We don’t do it for the money
And we don’t do it for the fame

So, all the employers who compare us
Go ahead, I ain’t embarrassed
You ain’t ever gonna scare us
I’ve already won this game

Cus it goes in one ear
And right out the other
Law schools talking shit
But you know I never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
I only practice law cus you know
I FUCKIN LOVE IT!!!

It goes in one ear and right out the other
Lawyers talking shit
But you know I never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
ATL be talking shit
Well, they can kiss
My Damn Learned Hand!

BE PROUD TO BE A LAWYER
NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM
