Take Control of Yourself
October 4, 2013
Take Control of Yourself
Sparkle Green-Chester
Lets walk down the street
And hopefully you’ll see
What I see.
Do you see these raggedy
Busted up houses?
Or are you thinking about
What name brand clothes
Jimmy is going to have
On tomorrow.
Do you see these gang
Bangers riding on rims
Trying to capture the
Best image of having
Money?
Or are you thinking
About ways to be
Like that?
Lets walk down the street
And hopefully you’ll
See that there’s more
To life then what you
Believe.
