THIS SYSTEM IS BROKEN
AND IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX
LOTTERY PICKS
ABSENT FATHERS & MOTHERS LOOKING FOR A FIX
HOPEFUL DOWN TO THE WIRE
A MOTHER HAS TO TELL HER DAUGHTER
A SPOT IN THE SCHOOL THEY DIDN'T ACQUIRE
THIS LOTTERY PICK IS LIKE WATCHING THE CRUMBLING OF A GREAT EMPIRE
NOT ACCEPTED
THE CHILDREN START GUESSIN'
THIS MEANS MY POSITION IN THIS SYSTEM
QUESTION
HOW CAN I BE THE FUTURE IF IT'S ME
THAT NO ONE IS WILLING TO INVEST
LOOKING FOR GOD WITH A 'S' ON HIS CHEST
TO HELP MY MOMMA TO STOP STRESSIN'
HOW CAN THIS BE GOD
THAT I'M STRUGGLING TO LIVE
WHEN MY MOMMA HAS 3 JOBS
WAKING UP IN AMERICA IN MY RIGHT MIND
IS WHAT I CALL BEATING THE ODDS
GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE
IS A STRETCH FROM HERE
AT THIS POINT I JUST WANNA FINISH MY 12 YEARS
MAYBE WE NEED TO PUT OUR MILITARY
ON THE EDUCATIONAL FRONT LINES
TO FIGHT FOR INTEGRITY
BETTER TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
& PUT AN END TO EDUCATIONAL DISPARITY
WRITE A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
IF YOU FEELING ME
THERE'S NO LOVE IN SCHOOLS
SO UP GOES THE KILLINGS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
THIS WAITING LIST IS KILLING SHE
THINKS SHE ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO GRADUATE
PENALIZED FOR HER MOTHER'S RESPONSIBILITY
BABY GIRL IS NOT EVEN 8
DROPPING OUT OF ONE OF AMERICA'S FACTORIES
IS HER FATE
KILLING THE CREATIVITY
INTELLIGENCE & SENSIBILITY
IN SOME SCHOOLS
GRADUATION IS LIKE A PRISON RELEASE DATE
IT'S REAL OUT HERE
NO WONDER THE YOUTH IS READY TO KILL OUT HERE
LACKING SKILLS GRABBING GUNS
HUNGER IS REAL I FEAR
NO SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS
WE NEED HELP
HOPE & SUPPORT OUT HERE
NOT DROP OUTS
TEEN PARENTS & FUNERALS THIS YEAR
SO KEEP PUSHING
KEEP FIGHTING & IGNITING THE SOULS OF ALL FOLKS
CREATE CARING TEACHERS
OUR FUTURE LIVES IN OUR CHILDREN'S DREAMS & HOPES
