100% Employed

Go to school

Get a good job

Life is hard

For the out of work slob

Go to school

Get a job

No worries

They’ll always be work

From janitor to file clerk

Or one, atop the list

As Trump’s highly paid Apprentice

See, times have changed

Jobs run out

Plantations gone

Farms and factories fazed

Integration open

And Black businesses closed

Education available to all

Designed to keep

Modern day slaves on call

While the sciences of

Self-Mastery, Mating and Marketing,

Remain a mystery

And entrepreneurship back seated

To doing for self and

Letting freedom ring

Yeah, it’s a heck of a thing

Millions of collective dollars

Available to spend

Yet we set no trends

Continue to follow

As others bend our Will

Afraid to get down and dirty

So our children are like the wind

To and fro

Job to job

Prison to death row

Insecure because we’ve failed

And left them nothing sturdy

What skill will we pass?

What business will they inherit?

What institution will our lives outlast?

Oh, no worries …

Those are concerns for responsible adults

Those interested in limitless results

Those with a mind to be truly free

The courage to right history

And chart a new destiny

No need to be annoyed

Maybe tomorrow you’ll be

100% employed.
