These streets are broken but you’re not.
These streets want you down-and-out, but you?
You want up.
All your life you’ve heard the promises,
the make-believe,
that you’re nothing at all.
But you’re something.
YOU HAVE A DESTINY.
Maybe you were put on this earth
to do something astonishing.
Maybe there are a thousand kids
waiting to look up to you.
So let them look.
Because this is your destiny.
And your new world,
it won’t be just four blocks side by side.
It’s as enormous as you want it to be.
As noisy as unforgettable.
YOU HAVE A DESTINY.
And it speaks in your voice.
It’s filled with some unbeatable pride.
So take all that homegrown hustle
running through your veins and
create real economic destiny.
