Motivation


It's the way of life...always had to pay the price

just to gain all my rights.

Is it true that we can one day stand as a whole

or just be put back down feeling as a bottomless soul.

Freedmen can lead them,

Show them we don't need them

always disrespected us now

we gonna show them up-How?

Not by our fancy clothes, but by standing on our toes

with knowledge of words that hold power.

Yes this is what we need in this hour.

Its all in the mindset, slavery is gone but some have not realized yet.

College may not be for everybody although I'm willing to take a chance just like

romance, ready to dance.
