The Elite Squad


So, you bad, huh ? You think you're better because you can sing? Psh! I'm a GREAT individual and I will continue to be! PLEASE ! Honor Roll? Try Principals List, Honey. I'm a great individual and I will continue to be. Ugh! What's with that nappy "do", "Celie" ? Ha! My hair's RELAXED.See how soft? I'm an individual that I don't want to be, and I will continue to be. Society whips our backs bare. Second by second. Slowly pressure cooking us into "The Vision". What's that? Shut up and join the squad.The ELITE squad. Not only does this make me tick, shake, or squeal, I've come to the realization that this AIN'T no poem, it's life baby.
