Paving the Way
Location
6:50 AM and my alarm begins to buzz
Every day I rise to attend school but instead many kids my age devout their lives to drugs
Open your eyes; you may see them in the streets without any shoes on their feet
But as for me, I’ll be in the class room because I refuse to accept defeat
6:50 AM and I have to leave the comfort of my bed
It’s these decisions that I take now that will determine if I’ll have a roof over head
If you possess a strong will to achieve
Then I know just the place to help you succeed
6:50 AM, Get up students and follow me
We are heading to a place that’s going to help you pave the way
Your peers will be there waiting, sitting in desks all in a dazzling array
Here is where you decide what to make of your life
Come on now there’s no time to delay
