Encouragement
What will it take to be number (1)
Does it have to be always with a fight
Yes! you have the right to make the choice
but it's better to make sure it's right
Why choose to settle with a knife or a gun
Why put an end to someone's life
I question this not, to put a scare in you
but, only to put an end to strife
My concern is real and felt with care
and I pray for the best out of you
Because life can be so beautiful,
if you take time and plan it through
So why just let it slip away,
Why not take a hold and give it a try
Keep reaching for those things that's good
so those that love you won't have to cry
Don't let your moments be a waste
Give thought in whatever you do
Build up hopes to brighten your future,
and don't let it end with you
Reach out to others, your sister and brother
Advise them to make their dreams come true
and it will make you feel good about it
knowing you shared your point of view
I got a good thought while traveling to the city
when suddenly, I got off track
and I voiced this out, what would I have done
if I couldn't read the signs to get back
What if I hadn't never been taught
just suppose I dropped out of school
For there was no where to trun or stop
my answer was, I would have been a fool
So again I plead learn all you can
Reach for higher goals in your life
Never take the short cut, to beat the rap
and don't let it end, with a gun or a knife
