HOLLA!
By Elizabeth McCray
You walk into the district like you got it going on,
but DEEP down inside
the only thing you wanna do is holla!
Sometimes you act like a spectator telling everything
you might talk so much you may even tell on yourself
when the only thing you have to do is holla!
Do like a jobless father that just got a new job
nobody else might not scream or shout,
but you just holla!
Don’t keep silent about what’s going on
Ya might not scream and shout just holla!
Just like an orchard tree,
stand your ground, but still holla!
Then give yourself a break
eat a sandwich at Littles Park
it might be all we have but still just holla!
Don’t get into any mischief just holla!
Don’t complain just holla!
Don’t become mad
Just Holla!
