Back in December, a high schooler named Gabriel Silvan hit up T-Pain on Twitter to ask for a senior quote. T-Pain complied, and now that graduation has finally come to pass, T-Pain’s words — or rather, the endlessly memed words of former Major League Baseball player Oscar Gamble — have been immortalized forever in Gabriel Silvan’s yearbook. Watch the heartwarming saga unfold below.

@TPAIN give me a senior quote please:)
