Another Statistic


Another Statistic
I don't want to be another statistic.
Some deadbeat dad
who left his kids in life not
knowing what he had.

I don't want to be another statistic.
Some kid strung out on crack
who started from a party
and now can never look back.

I don't want to be another statistic.
Some kid out of school who dropped
out early because he thought the
streets was cool.
He thought that it was boring.
He thought it was dumb.
He doesn't have an education
and now he's living like a bum.

I don't want to be another statistic.
Some stereotype teen.
I'm going to make a difference.
I will complete my dream.
I won't end up on drugs or dead
on your new flat screen.
I will use my head to
become who I want to be.
I won't be another statistic
because that's just not me.
