Be

BE 

What will you be? 
A doctor, lawyer, a teacher or judge 
A misfit, con artist or just another street thug 
What will you be? 
Yes resources unfavorable, experiences you’ve gone through 
Misfortunate lives trying to figure out whose you will align to 
What will you be? 
A business owner, writer or preacher 
Street pharmacist or city commissioner 
What will you be? 
With all of your spirituality, what will you be? 
Emotional baggage and poor mental state 
The master of poor choices 
It’s hard to communicate 
How will you get to your destiny? 
Will it be the luck of the lottery?
Do you believe in fate? 
Many dreams and aspirations can they be fulfilled? 
The answer is yes 
With determination and God’s will 
You can be what God says you ought to be 
Strong, vigilant, mighty and brave 
Full of strength, wisdom and a force to be reckoned with 
Can you say the same?
