“Graduate” is about after we got signed, and it’s the process of getting signed. I’m still standing in front of some suit at a record company asking permission. I felt like some kind of lap-dancer, some student again, like I was still in high school. Can I get my grade on my paper? What it’s really saying is “I’m not really asking if i can graduate. I’m not asking for your permission. I’m beyond your permission. I’m beyond your control.[2]
