S.O.S.
Save Our School
even tho we're young, we still have a voice,
just listen to us all and we'll tell you our choice.
do what we say or we'll all fade away,
we wanna stay in school, soo just help us 2day.
we need better lunches cuz the food is bad.
we dont wanna eat it, put it in the trash.
the bathroom's dirty theres pee on the floor.
the soap's ran out and we need some more.
when i go outside, and im outta breath,
i go to the fountain, ain't no mo' left.
when i go 2 recess ain't nothin 2 play,
i look 4 the benches an' that's where i'll stay.
when we leave from school, ppl actin' a fool,
startin' fights in the streets, an' that ain't cool.
even tho we're young, we still have a voice,
just listen to us all, an' we'll tell you our choice,
do what we say, or we'll all fade away.
we wanna stay in school so just help us today.
save our school, its time for change.
Save our School, Its Time For Change,
SAVE OUR SCHOOL, ITS TIME FOR CHANGE,
THESE R THE THINGS DAT WE NEED TO REARRANGE.
we shouldn't have to pay, for school supplies,
education is free or is that a lie?
the middle school kids vandalise our doors,
they wouldn't want us to treat them poor.
even tho we're young, we still have a voice,
just listen to us all, an' we'll tell you our choice,
do what we say, or we'll all fade away.
we wanna stay in school so just help us today.
save our school, its time for change.

well. things have changed. by changed, i mean. really changed. and not just in school or something, but, in the whole world also. i mean. pollution, drug dealers. trash, crack cocaine. people smokin' it up evrywhere. well. we didn't care much of it. i mean, our 5th grade class cared, but, we never took action for it. that is, until a man named-- his name is classified-- came to our class. we knew him as G Capone, and he risked the rules just to stick with us, just cuz our class rocked out loud. the environment was an issue. a very BIG issue. so, for the world to hear us. we needed something big. a song. but, what type? one that lets you speak out loud. one that has no rules. one that, lets the flow go. rap. so, we made a rap song ((above)). we had a program, and we had a special song up our sleeves. so. we sang. when we ended, there was a moment of silence, then bang! we got applause!!!!!! then, a couple of months later, we had to sing our song again. TWICE and we had to gives speeches. well, some people had to. after that, it became march and we were on a project. during march, i got started on a comic book. about the beginning of our adventure. our times as the Voices of Change. a month later, i made a figure out of pipe cleaners. it was G Capone. wearing the colors of the Filipino flag. since well, I was filipino. then, 2 weeks after that, the comic book was finally finished, and i handed the only copy to G Capone. A very happy memory, that started it all, was summarized into writing. and pictures. during april, we made a mural. that was designed partly by me. we got the paper ready, but, as of now, the mural is probably still brand new we didn't actually get to see it dueing school. and, we didn't get to see G capone during our graduation in june. since, he had to go to jamaica for a vacation. we never saw him again, but we could still contact him. He was the most coolest person i have ever met. he was happy. he was willing to break the rules for us. He never told us sad times. but, we knew about it. like, his brother was in jail. and was about to be killed. 2 of his cousins died in a fight. we swore not to ask about it in front of him. and we remained the greatest 5th grade class in Widenmann history. sure, we didn't make history. but, its still possible, really. and one day. our whole 5th grade class would meet up again. a reunion party. and once again, get to see G Capone..
