CHAPTERS OF THOUGHTS/ AFTER WATING 'WAITING FOR SUPERMAN

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
