THE OVAL
JaQuiondia Banks 1990 (MILWAUKEE, WI)
The Oval
When I become president
Making the world a better place is going to become more precedent
Changing things that matter, that has become more negligent
I believe I am the future and the change that the world needs, and I say it with diligence
I want to provide communities with better schools and daycares
Children and students should be provided a better way fare
Our learning system is failing our children
It is not by the dozens but by the millions
I want to provide society with better paying jobs
Where parents are not struggling working a nine to five
Parents can provide and pay the bills
The cost of living is outrageous, it gives me chills
I want to fight to get young men and women off the street
Where they can be children and become more elite
Provided them with healthier means and achievable goals they can meet
Hoping to reduce the rate of crime because it is our younger youth that is doing time
Giving them the opportunity to all shine
