The Choice Is Ours

The Choice is Ours

And so here we are on the brink of d-day
This week we will know how our future will sway
The duffer, the bluffer, the candidates with the muffler
Which one of these candidates will we have to suffer

If you voted for friendship go jump in the sea
If you voted for abstract plans you're dumber than they
If you voted for empty promises then that should be fine
Because sooner or later the they will resign

Democracy demands we give them a chance
But this time I think we should join in the dance
Coz whoever they are, the students at the helm
The Gambia College still belongs to us, not only to them

We gave them their seats, the nineteenth you know 
We voted them to power between me and you
But whether they prove to be wise candidates or fools
This college is ours so let's play by the rules

Let's not break the law, can we please stand in line
Let's not pull those strings to avoid paying IEC fine
Let's finally get that a red light means stop
Let's not stoop to bribing the poor students cop

Let's be part of the reason our Gambia College is great
Let's be good students before it's too late
Let's serve our great College without hesitation
Let's all work together to build a strong unification 

Enough of the trolling, the barbs and the fights
Now let's stick together, stand up for our rights

They might have the seats, the nineteenth we still know 
But the College belongs to me and to you
And we're a thousand students, a thousand and plus
At the end of the day, the choice is ours 
Until then, make no mistakes
