“Own Your Future” Rap

By Bella Matthews, 7^th Grade, Raymond Park Middle School

First Place Middle School Writing Category for 2012 Own Your Future Media Arts Contest

Chorus:           Here’s an easy way that you can be cool,

just get an education and go to school

If you hit those books and you take your time,

your life will be good and you’ll feel sublime.

Verse 1:          College can open up numerous options

like getting a new car and going shopping.

Because college equals job and

job equals money and

money, well, it’s really good honey.

Finally, a job that you really love

can fit you like a new pair of globes.

Chorus

Verse 2:          If I own my future

I can do many things,

like land on the moon

or own the stage and sing.

If I let my brain work

and I do my best,

I’ll be able to pass

any Life test.

Chorus
