Good Gang Versus Bad

theres two types of gangs to join 
you dont have to flip a coin 
to know which one that you need 
once gets you in trouble 
the other helps you succeed 
the gang at school is called a club 
it keeps you off the streets and drugs 
so do what i did and be strong 
by choosing right clubs, and not wrong 
like the smoking council where i taught 
kids what would happen if they thought 
cigarettes made you look cool 
smoking them with friends at school 
the newspaper was hard but fun 
we couldnt leave till it was done 
making sure that every story 
was interesting and not boring 
the chess club was a real treat 
my competition was so neat 
against a boy that was not grinning 
when i called out check mate from winning
