Greatness
You are Destined for Greatness
you are
destined
for
you were born here and your parents there
you were born on the East Side where red is versus blue
you learned Spanish before English
your school had no money for art
your family had no money for new shoes
your neighborhood played gunshots at night
your grandmother feared the police
you are
destined
for
Half the country criminalizes you
America has structurally discriminated against everything that is you
They put you in a ghetto and they say it's simple to
Pick yourself up, work hard, earn your wealth
earn your rights
earn equality
earn a fair chance
run this race with a Weight on your shoulders that is invisible to them
You are Destined for Greatness
you are
destined
for
You are only a Child
Lift This Weight
if not
you will only be destined for failure
