Yes We Can

Im so proud that we were all able to make it here
Glad that we were able to receive a certificate that shows our acheivements
Many people were told that they would never make it here
But we fought and told them Yes We Can
I knoe it wasn't easy for some of us
It was times when we just wanted to give up,
Sometimes we slipped up
Luckily, we have teachers who care who told us Yes We Can

Now as we venture off and go about our lives
We would face the difficulties of the real world
Some of us may go off to College
Others may choose their career right after highschool
But the fact is Yes We Can do whatever we put our minds to

Yes We Can be young black men and women going to college
Yes We Can get into a higher institue of learning
Harvard, Yale, Princeton we could do it all
Yes We Can go without getting pregnant
Yes We Can finish and not drop out
Yes We Can be at the top of our class

It is a shame that when growing up they tell us
its literally impossible for us to make these acheivements
Well, our job it to go out there
and make the impossible possible
Show them that no matter how hard they try to look down us
We will try even harder to acheive our goals in life

So when they tell No we Can't
Always Remember
Yes We Can
