about

I really like law school so far. The students here are uniformly fantastic, the professors are engaging, dedicated, and scarily brilliant, and the subject matter is endlessly fascinating. That doesn't mean I'm good at any of it. Jokes and stuff.

lyrics

I'm bad at law, I'm bad at law, I'm good at other things but I'm really bad at law
Judge Learned Hand is shaking his learned head and applying his learned test, says you're really bad at law
I don't even get that that's irrelevant, no, I'm not negligent, I'm just really bad at law
So when I freeze up every time that I'm cold called, remember I'm really cool, I'm just really bad at law

I'm pretty good at rapping but I'm pretty bad at law
So I pretend to hate on my classmates, cause without exception they're not
Gunner motherfucker with both hands up in con law
Run into you at Bar Review, and dude you're getting cock blocked
Then I take your girl back to Mansfield like haha
Haven't taken crim law, but I'm pretty sure you just got robbed
Social development arrested, you're boring like Bob Loblaw
Like blah blah, policy, blah blah, put your hand down, dude, and just not talk
Yeah, and you could probably tell this
But all it is is I'm mostly jealous
Cause you know all about defaults and law and econ
But me, I find it kind of hellish
Can't fail so I guess I'm doing wellish
Read the case ten times till I get it
But you gotta hot dog like relish
can't help it, you got an attention fetish
staying shy of libel, don't want you to sue me
Hands up in the air law school George Clooney
I'm in Ayres like what am I doing
i'm the side making errors in the altering rule thing
All this stuff, you already learned
I get burned cause I don't get the terms
How many weeks left till I get concerned?
fuck it, I'll never clerk but I like the work


If there's a club, duh, dude, you're in it
You're on ten journals, you're starting your own clinic
First short memo? You're finna publish it
So analytic, I just don't get it
Me and efficiency - between us, things get heated
Always half an hour late going out on weekends
Don't typically think economically and
Your head is basically a TI-83, man
So I'll drink harder and I'll stay out longer, ruin my education for the sake of my honor
But when I go to Bar, you are there too
And when I go to Liffey's you're with me too
Defending my bleeding heart's getting hard to do
when I'm intoxicated and you're smarter too
It used to be you'd beat me at videogames and sports
now you're in my course, we're talking court, and you're beating me at torts
of course

I'm by myself getting drunk reading casebooks
And by that I mean wasting time on Facebook
I'm dozing off to Cardozo, it's not a great look
Backpack on swole, stuffed up with like eight books
I need less before I started, more where I want to go
I need less ex ante and more ex post
Less undergrad Grant and more Dean Post
Fuck, I owe Amar a discussion board post
Someday in the classroom, put my hands up like Miley
People saying Damon's like John Marshall, he's wily
Akhil Amar listens hard and thinks highly
Yeah, maybe someday down the line, not likely
before YLS my ego was high like a tech stock
Now it's like a post-1999 tech stock
Long memo, wished I'd paid more attention back in Westlaw
Cal Soto, bro, come and do a guest spot
