...Still I Rise, Even Stronger
Standing Tall, Proud, Black and Strong
Proving this stereotypical society wrong.
they ask me who I' am and where am I going.
I ask why so you can shoot down the comings of my successful showing.
dont expect me to go to college or be a success
but with my ambition proving you wrong I'll do my best
Just having a TITLE under all these statistics
isn't the right choice with societies logitics.
I'm BLACK
I'm POOR
I'm GHETTO
and Unsure
even where to look when I need help to soar
smart to realize, but failed to see
someone can be judged upon there independence like me.
I was told I don't act like the common black male
I'm sorry I don't smoke, drink, or go in and out of jail
so quick to tell me who I'm suppose to be
but yet at the end of the day my decisions affect me.
take heed to the challanges you face everyday
and don't live your life in a lie at least not the statstic way.
