Come As You Are by Nirvana

 Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend
As an old
Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old
Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria
(No I don't have a gun)
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

For the Kids by Homeboy Sandman

 I believe the children are our future

Boy Sand is for the kids

Lil' bro and lil' sis smoking cigs
Quit
Shouldn't you go study for a quiz?
STD is not pronounced "stid"
Who produced this?
6th
Kids 'tween 3 and 6 shouldn't have to tussle with the three sixes
Watching big chested vixens
Need to go and get they chest Vixed
Little black girls your hair is beautiful
You could leave it natural it's suitable
Forgive the adults that try to get you
To burn it, they've got self image issues
Turn off the TV and go to sleep
You're not a ugly duckling, you're a swan
I know you think that being different makes you weak
But being different makes you strong
This
Is
For
You
Think before you speak
Wash your hands before you take a leak
Don't be cocky when you take the lead
If you cocky light a match before you leave
Brush your teeth
Stop and smell the flowers seeds
Enjoy the sun showers seeds
De-shell your sunflower seeds
Don't crack when sides is pulling you
Between either going to math or cutting class and getting drunk
Don't let nobody bully you
Feels so much better having someone beat your ass than being a punk
Say no to drugs
Never turn your back on your bruhs
The object of life ain't making bucks
The object of life is spreading love
This
Is
For
You
I take the time to teach the kids in the streets
For the children like Asa and Unique
Little sisters, you ain't gotta be a freak
Even Nicki Minaj wasn't that at 13
Little brothers you ain't gotta be a fool
And I know they don't teach us nothing useful in them schools
But, if you hustle than consider school a tool
That you use against the devil so he don't fool you
Uh, consider these jewels
For growth and development, guidelines and rules
The little homies need to know it ain't cool
To openly disrespect the people that made you
Love your parents no matter the consequences
Before you go to sleep, don't forget to wash the dishes
And say a prayer before you eat something
That's a blessing because somebody get to eat nothing
This
Is
For
You

Give Your Hands to Struggle by Sweet Honey in the Rock

If you see me stumble,
Don’t stand back and look on,
Reach out now, baby,
Give your hands to struggle.
Give your hands to struggle
Give your hands to struggle,
Give your hands to struggle,
Give your hands to struggle.
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba
Ba-ya-ya ba

If you feel my heart break
Don’t just count the sound waves
Hold me close now, baby
Give your arms to struggle.

If you see me crying
Don’t just pat my shoulder
Help me go on, right on
Give your strength to struggle.

If you hear my love song
Don’t stand back and listen
Help me sing it right now
Give your voice to struggle.

Then we’ll be moving
We’ll be really moving
Building up our union
If we give our all to struggle.

I WILL IF I CAN... I WILL IF I CAN... I WILL IF i CAN...
