The reason I think you should save me a spot in college is
like saying why do you breathe,
like saying why do we eat?
I wanna go to college to show people that
I can be something as a Black African Boy.
The reason you should save me a spot in college is
I wanna show people that I can be the next
Martin Luther King.
I wanna go to college
to show people how to be just like me.
That you don’t have to stay in the Ghetto
or sell drugs to get paid.
You should save me a spot in college
because I wanna be something in my life!
Not that black kid on the corner
with 3 brothers and 4 sisters,
But known as that kid on the corner
with 3 brothers and 4 sisters
that did something with his life
other than getting shot or going to prison for life!!
I want to be
known as that Black kid
who became a doctor, scientist, teacher
or something on that list.
I wanna be the best of the best,
have a big house,
or a PhD,
and all those kinda things and dreams.
The stats in my neighborhood sound like this:
the race is 70% Black and Pacific Islanders
well only 30% of kids go to college,
(and most of them are girls)
Or they end up in state prison,
get shot or killed.
I don’t want to end up like that!
And that is why
I want you to
Save Me a Spot in College! |
