Because Your Future

Because your future

Is all you can to provide

Because your state now

Is worth less than currency

Because she called you ugly,

Even though she’s your mom, so what can you believe

Because he called you “dummy”

Since you have to study for the SATs

Because college is the mainstream flow

They tell you where you must go

Because who cares what you think

They’re in it for your money, your bling

And when you’re dead in less than a blink

They’ll be raking it up with the cha-ching

Because you have to be at the top

For them to see your value

Because you shouldn’t smoke hop, become a flop

But it didn’t matter; they were done with you

But no siree

I’d rather let you die than give up on me

But no siree

I’m going to make you see

But no siree

I’ll make you the best that you can be.

You will reach your dreams

Forget what they say

It doesn’t matter anyway

Make your mark, take a stand

Show ‘em where your passions land

Carpe diem, seize the day!

And if you’re destined to not live for long,

At least I’ll sing your swan song.

And I may not have a beautiful voice,

But the echoes will always remember

How you were never given the choice.
