Rights by Triplett


I have the right to school I have the right to live my way You have no say I have the right to speak Thats my rule To live everyday I have rights I have the right to be me I have the right You cant say anything about my skin About how I look I have the right to write poetry I have the right within I have the right to read a book I have rights I have the right to grow I have rights you know. I have the right to be free I have the right to religion Rights are the key I have rights I have the right to my expression I have the right to say whatever I have rights to read I have the right to question I have the right to lead no matter my color I have rights.
