YOLO

YOLO
 
Everyone says YOLO; why are they try'in to be so cool? 
I am living right now, I don't need to act too cool for school
I have goals; unlike my loser friends
All they say is YOLO, and do nothing that transcends
 
My whole life I had dreams; to be something of use
I have my act together; my screws are not loose.
My life is now; I too can say "YOLO", but in the best way
I keep my head high and don't believe what the haters say
 
What will I do in this life to make a liv'in?  
I will be awesome, because I have a vision.  
I want to help others; this is my purpose
YOLO and I promise I will be of service
 
I like to have a good time and I am pretty funny. 
I have fun helping others, I don't do it for money
YOLO, I won't let this life go to waste
I will wake up with a smile and not with haste
 
YOLO my friends, but not in a reckless way
I am going to soar, believe what I say
I make good choices to achieve my goals
I won't let anyone stop me, I am in control. 
 
YOLO; life is what you make it.
YOLO; make it happen!
