Message to the Youth...

lyrics

---V1---
Little girl, I know you like what you see on the t.v. screen
and you figure you should be like them girls in the magazine
Just know that everything ain't what it seem
Even though you don't see options (there’s plenty)
Just know that I am watchin'
waitin' for you to live your dreams
You can be a star that shines so bright
and blind everybody with your light
You are much greater than a pretty smile and tight clothes
You can be a star that shines so bright
and blind everybody with your light
Reveal that part of you that no one knows

CHORUS
KEEP YOUR FUTURE IN YOUR POCKET AND HOLD IT VERY CLOSE
'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS IT THE MOST (2x)

---V2---
Little boy, even though there really ain't no man around
I'm askin' you to please be strong and stand your ground
Just know that you're a lost treasure who's waiting to be found
You don't have to be a victim (don’t give in)
and up in a system that's
plottin' to keep you down
You can be a star that shines so bright
and blind everybody with your light
I'm beggin' you not to make the corner your stage
You can be a star that shines so bright
and blind everybody with your light
Reveal that there's more to your chapter than this page

CHORUS 2x

(No matter what they say, know there's a brighter day, You need it the most)

(Keep your future very close, 'cause you need it most) Know that you're special and there's nobody like you, like you, like you, you, you


KEEP YOUR FUTURE IN YOUR POCKET AND HOLD IT VERY CLOSE
