Poem

We beat the odds 

I remember growing up
Going to school
Still clueless on what I wanted to do 
Going from class to class 
Learning 
They didn't just give you a grade 
It was worth earning 
You learned to appreciate 
The teachers had a lot on their plate 
Teaching those who didn't want to be taught 
Not letting negatives thoughts 
Stop you all from believing 
You didn't give up (on us)
Instead focused on achieving
You have worked hard 
We beat the odds 

We beat the odds 
The odds we did beat 
We didn't let negativity defeat 
(Repeat 1x)

Let me take you back baby 
When our grandparents were introduced to slavery 
Had to work hard 
From sunrise to sunset 
Taking care of families
Still experiencing neglect
Treated with No respect , 
Doing all this for a little check 
Raised some of the great 
Come on who can relate 
Working day in and out to put something on your plate 
They would starve to make sure you ate
The work hard 
So you can work harder 
Instilled in you 
You are not dumb always smarter 
It hurts to read or hear history
They went through it , they never gave up 
Did whatever it took 

We beat the odds 
The odds we did beat 
We didn't let negativity defeat 
(Repeat 1x)

Bridge
We beat it 
We made it 
Society couldn't take it 
(Repeat 1x)

We beat the odds 
The odds we did beat 
We didn't let negativity defeat 
(Repeat 1x)
(Repeat until chorus fades)
