Wake Up
By: Jeremy Dukes
People tell me that I would probably be one of the greatest...
Greatest to live in our community.
The greatest of the latest innovative minds to be produced by our, because I try to find time to do things other than help destory my community.
Don't praise me, praise your community.
Because besides your parents, who helped raise you?
Our community.
Lets all take a stand against all the violence and crime,
in every sense its stupid and non-sense.
Gotta' get right because we dont know our time length.
And when we're gone, what will still remain?
Our community.
Its common that all people think is "self" now, so at the end of the day, How do we have common wealth?
Our community.
We get out, what we put in.
lets stop fightin, we all kin' .
We from the same community.
And now is the opportunity .
Get involved and be apart of the problem solved,
In Our community.
Wake Up!!!
