"The sky is falling, the wind is calling, stand for something or die in the morning." - Kendrick Lamar


Get up on your feet, there's no time to lose
Your mark on society, a kiss or a bruise?
You leech off the system, you don't even care whose
Successes you're living off of, let me give you some news
Our country will die due to people like you

You should strongly consider remaining in school
While in there you'll pick up a lesson or two
The world is your oyster, there's so much to choose
Working with wires, bolts, wrenches, and screws
Man up, face your fears, and try something new

The message I'm sending rings steadily true
If nothing else matters, there's a few things that do;
be successful and care for those other than you
Try to leave a good impact before living is through


The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this was the deteriorating work ethic of my beloved nation. The will to succeed was one of the principles this nation was founded upon, hence 'George's Message'.
