[Intro]: Sam P
To all my youth and my children/ you are one in a million/ yeah, you are stars, you are smart, check it out
[Verse 1]: Sam P
Two paths you can choose to reach your destination/ one to success the other to incarceration/ hanging with your crew can bring you future complications/ if they take your focus off your goals and aspirations/ bright and intelligent, smart yes you are keep running the race and you will go far/ even with the obstacles you are a shining star mind made from the king others think that’s bizarre// one of a kind cause your made to succeed you can still be cool, pick a book up and read education is power use it to win/ being dumb on purpose can lead to sin and the door of opportunity may be a dead end// so be serious and get your education and don’t play// cause life is too short for games/fight for your destiny and create your fame
[Chorus]: Sheleta Mason
Embrace your future today//// Embrace your Future Today//// Embrace Your Future Today//// Do it now cause there is no other way/ ayeyea
[Verse 2]: Sam P
Embrace your Future and focus your mindset/ on the things that can help you respond with/ every test that you face with a victory bullies are just looking for real love but they get none see the battles that we face is not against the teacher’s lecture// its against the principality of peer pressure/ try to fit in with peeps from the block while your grades steady falling like cheap common stock/ joking around not taking school serious/ middle school dropout acting delirious// from coke that you sniffing with your homies/ 10 years later in a cell lonely// cause you chose to take the gate that’s wide/ couldn’t find the narrow one heart’s rooted in pride/ gotta live with the fact your heart’s rooted in lies/ but redemption is here through the one who died/
[Chorus]: Sheleta Mason

[Verse 3]: Sam P
From the beginning it starts as a seed/ pour in your goals, work smart, and believe/ strive for your dreams you will surely achieve/ raise your hand high don’t be shy to succeed/ cause if your click don’t ask questions in class/ in your study time make sure you put them last/ don’t let friends hold you back from goals that you seek/ cause real friends help you with your goals when you sleep/ doors of
Opportunity open when you leave/ your worries behind sonshine will plant a seed/ for you to conquer/ any challenge that you face/ be the best you can when you go to any place/ no matter what exam, test or quiz that you chase/ education is key but your character’s the base/ what’s your foundation knowledge or lazy/ reading is my therapy so why you acting shady/

[Verse 4]: Sam P
Gotta stand up// For my people// from the hood to the burbs yes we’re equal// I can learn just as much as you// no matter what they say I’m a bright star too/ when I open a book I just begun my journey/ advancing my knowledge no its not to early// cause I see scholarships arrive/ faith, effort, and hope help my dreams come alive/when the critics look at you/ they are very confused/ young man from the hood your suppose to lose/ but my father in heaven is in control/ he’s the one that makes a woman conceive very old// no matter the odds that are against you now/ you can trample over them like a John Deere plow/ just keep moving forward toward your dreams/ mistakes are a boost when you learn to redeem/ stay close to your source like a huddled up team with their coach in the middle/ your destined to beam/ this cold world/// it can be very mean/ keep your mind on the father and peace will be your theme// nothing that you face will ever be too extreme you’re a diamond in the rough shine brighter than bling/ Hold your future tight and stand firm like a marine/ focus on the mark and keep your eye site keen
[Chorus]: Sheleta Mason
Embrace your future today//// Embrace your Future Today//// Embrace Your Future Today//// Do it now cause there is no other way/ ayeyea/ Embrace your future
