DREAMS


Little boys little girls

follow your dreams

little boys little girls 

dream dream dream 

Wait, do you call them dreams or nightmares 

the dreams of who you are and what you want to be

but the nightmare of people telling you, you wont complete

Your goals or what you want to be!

I'm anaccount to the truth for the youth 

follow your dreams.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When mama dont come home and wont pick up the phone

When your daddy not there so you feel really alone

When your friends dont like it cause they think its werid 

When society judges you because its not a trend

Keep working hard becuase everything will be alright.

Never give up, your success is coming in. Stay tight.

We are strong, we are brave.

We are the youth. We are the future.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So always believe. Because whats more deadly?

A gun, or a thought. 

A gun gives you the oppurtunity 

But a thought pulls the trigger"
