[Dialogue]
Streets are filthy, crime is high
People look suspicious when you walk by
No smiles or grins as the city sins
When it comes to violence, nobody wins
[Dialogue]
Look past the garbage, over the trains
Under the ruins, through the remains
Around the crime and pollution
And tell me, where do I fit in?
South Bronx, New York that's where I dwell
To a lot of people it's a living hell
Full of frustration and poverty
But wait, that's not how it looks to me
It's a challenge and opportunity
To rise above the stink and debris
Got to start with nothing and then you built
Follow your dream until it's fulfilled!
[Dialogue]
I'm a warrior, my art is my sword
A place in society is my reward
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
Success is something we all want to taste
Everyone has a talent on the earth
And you can take it or leave it for what it's worth
No matter how hard things may seem
You've got the potential, fulfill your dream
We're the future, it's up to us
To make our home rate an "A plus"
Let your mind be pure and free to create
Then use the beat in your heart and aim to be great!
