The deadline for submitting most college applications is around the corner, and First Lady Michelle Obama and SNL‘s Jay Pharoah have just the right motivation to get you to the finish line.

In this video collaboration with College Humor and The Gregory Brothers, Pharoah and FLOTUS team up to rap about why going to college is a young person’s best and brightest hope for the future.

It supports Obama’s “Better Make Room” campaign, which encourages young people to commit to better lives through higher education.
