It Is More For You
It is more for you
For me I’m done, for me is just a little
I count by eyes blinking
I alter by tongues twisting
One, two, three
Ask yourself, why are you here?
I give you one
You are here for studying
You are here for subject studying
Hug your education as your mother dying in dark
Like your food in drought
I give you two
You are here for studying
Nothing else but your subjects too
Find knowledge for any strength you have
Likely in bible you believe
I give you three
You are here for studying
No more but your environments
They may do positively, study them
Count one, two, three; you’re here for studying.
Your cracked hut, to where you sleep
Reflects poverty of no wealth
I know your mind is active
Don’t dump it into poor temptations
Count one, two, three you are here for studying
It is because they don’t know the meaning
Now you’re wearing dirty and toned clothes
Parents of yours converse in clubs
They remember nothing but alcohol
Count one, two, three; you’re here for studying
You better say no to your sexual drives
Because your sister was chased out of school
Hold a nameless child in her womb
Likely to your brother; dancing in poor peer groups
Count one, two, three; you’re here for studying
You will take a promise of no lie
You’ll achieve; wisdom, skills, and attitude
As long as you study in big three
Remember the world is waiting for you
Count one, two, three; you’re here for studying
_a dream speech of a parent in schools
