You!


The Hate U Give Scholarship Slam

 

Take a chance

Live every moment and secure your

Lifestyle

Stand up and raise your voice

Make the world know you

Exist and that you are capable of

Making a difference

You are an artist

You are a believer

You are justice

You are who you are

Believe in yourself and make a difference

Rise and demonstrate your abilities

Live for what you create

And die protecting it

Never let anyone

Tell you that you can’t be anything you

Want to be

You deserve the life that was granted to you

You deserve to live and have every right

Your human right

Your legal right

Your right

Stand up straight and yell your dream

We shall overcome

I do believe

It’s wrong to hate

But not to love

If you can’t love how will you love yourself

Remember someone will

Always fight for you

Just like you will fight for others

Always answer the injustice with

Your justice

Remember you are not ordinary

You’ll make your dreams a reality

Freedom is making your

Own choices don’t

Let anyone take that from you

Freedom of choice

Freedom of justice for all

Don’t look back

Instead look back to see how far you’ve

Come

Be a leader and make other

Follow their path

Together and united we’ll

Overcome and conquer the world

You can change and make a

Difference to this world

Stand up straight

And begin

Together we will make

This world a better place
