In the song, one can hear Mrs Obama and her rap partner, Jay Pharaoh, say the following:
"If you wanna fly jets you should go to college/ Reach high and cash checks, fill your head with knowledge."
“If you wanna watch paint, don’t go to college. But for everything else, you should go to college.”
"South Side Chicago, we all know/ We had to do overtime every night to make it to tomorrow," raps Obama -- who grew up in the city's south.
"And everyone could really make their dream come true/ Hey kid listening in Michigan, this could be you."
The music, which was filmed in the White House, was released by College Humor.
The video is part of the "Better Make Room" campaign launched by the first lady's Reach Higher Initiative targeting 14-19-year-olds "to inspire every student in America to take charge of their future by completing their education past high school, whether at a professional training program, a community college, or a four-year college or university."

“I want to honor and empower young people who are working hard in school and pursuing their dreams – and I want to do it in a fresh and fun way,” Obama said in a statement.
