TOPIC: This song is about what we want our futures to be. This song is about what we learned in our past and what we will learn in our future.

VERSE I: G/A/D

2. My uncle taught me how to be a success

3. My mom taught me that in all the challenge we suffer, there is always sweetness inside me

4. My dad taught me the truth will set you free

5. My grandma taught me to respect and to be respected

6. My grandpa taught me to stay as sharp as a needle and don’t let the boys take you down

7. My mom taught me to stand my ground-ladies—ooh ooh

8. What we learned is n our past we’ll bring to our future

9. What our families taught us we will do

10. It will go in one ear, but it won’t go out the other

11. Because we believe in our future

CHORUS:A#/A/D

Our future is what we want to see/Our future is who we want to be

Time passes and we move from class to class

Pushed by our history/future is a mystery/That’s how it should be x2

12. Happiness and love is how I want to feel

13. Knowledge and intelligence keeps me strong as steel

16. This is who we can be this is what we want to see x2/this will happen to me
