a new realzation dawned on me
on something i was to blind to see
all around me i see people who are satisfied
with wanting things that are trivial compared
to the greater aspect of things
and his greater aspect i speak of
well it is education you see
because yes i am african american
and it pains me to see the potential of my people wasted
on wanting such trivial things
wanting to rap, play sports,become the next big thing
but how often do you hear i want a masters degree
i wish i percetions would change and poeple my peole would
that education,EDUCATION has always been the key
it may take more work but it is always more satisfying in the end
so why not change i want to be a basketball player, rapper
into i want to be a lawyer, doctor, or even engineer
i wish and i know if the way we think now could slowly change
in a couple generations this is the way it would be
but for that to happen we must change and acquire
a thought process that is worth passing to the next generation
this is something worth wanting
