SUCCESS


I'm a little black girl

With a strong head on her shoulders

And a plan to have a good life

Avoiding all of life's boulders

 

So while I'm still in high school

I'll take all those AP classes

That may seem like nothing now

But later use to my advantage

 

While I take those AP classes

I'll apply for scholarships

And ignores those filthy immatures

Who stare down at my hips

 

Then, when I'm in college

I'll get the degrees I need

And I'll set my own bar high

Make it hard not to succeed

 

Finally, after years of college

And my name's a coorporate name

I'll sit back in my nice office

So proud of who I became
