I believe I can pass… A bit of R&B for Grad Students

So, a few days ago, my sister sent me a quick email to cheer me up, saying ‘I hope you aren’t on the verge of breaking down’.

She usually sends me songs to motivate me through the week/day etc. This time, she had sent me the Jacob Lusk version of the song “I believe I can fly”. You guys all know the song right?

By then, I was suffering from a thesis coma of some sort (?) and was passed out in the lab by the contents of my thesis against will.

Anywho, as soon as I heard the lyrics of the famous song, I had to edit it to make it relevant to my life.

Almost instantly, I had my masterpiece of the day… a song called “I believe I can pass”.

For those of you who doesn’t know the song, or don’t have a mp3 of it, try listing to it on Youtube on the background while singing to the edited lyrics. Trust me, it’ll boost up your energy for those of you writing your thesis right now.

(scroll down for the lyrics)

I used to think that I could not go on
Thesis is nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true work
I’m pouring on the everlasting pages
If I can write it, then I can defend
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
***
[Chorus]
I believe I can pass
I believe I can finish this
I think about it every night and day
Ready the fingers and type away
I believe I’ll be done
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can pass
I believe I can pass
I believe I can pass
***
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in research I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can write it, then I can defend it,
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it,
***
[Chorus]
***
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can write it, then I can defend it,
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it,
***
[Chorus]
***
Hey, If I just start typing
I can pass
I can pass
I can pass, hey
If I just start typing
I can pass
Passsssss~ ohhh!!!
*****the end*******
I think some super talented band/singer should make this into a recording. Please… all of us can use some of this motivation.
