Whats On Her Mind?

Just like a rocket
Shooting for the skies,
In my mind 
I know I WILL RISE!

Like the vision of Black Entertainment Television
Also known as B.E.T.
No matter what you say
I know I WILL SUCCEED!

Opposite of the Titanic
And unlike how the slaves were treated,
One thing that I KNOW is that
I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED!

If someone
Asks me why,
I will say its because 
I AM DETERMINED!

Even when 
I am down 
On my luck
I 
REFUSE TO GIVE UP!

And since my attitude reflects my altitude,
Then my positive attitude
Means that my altitude
CANNOT BE CALCULATED!
