| And I believe, that we must confront the past
|
| in order to capitalize on the future
|
| Because in our present times and turmoils, it is inevitable
|
| So focus, did you hear what I said?
|
| I said focus, on our children
|
| We must, concentrate on education, and pride
|
| Not only mental development, but physical development
|
| So that we can stand united, and kick our enemies ASS! |
| (that's right)
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| Now time is of the essence, so stand tall, chest out, chin up Be proud to be a part of this nation of thugs
|
