| But I Am Still Thirsty I've weathered many storms And I feel I've paid my dues I viewed society as a game At times I felt I was born to lose BUT I am still thirsty... I am one of the strong that survived. But I've also defended the weak From the bottom I've come to the top And some think I've reached my peak BUT I am still thirsty... I wanted to be the best And in some things I am just that Some said I couldn't make it Because of the color of my skin is black BUT I am still thirsty... I call it determination And the jealous call it greed I was told that I couldn't win Because I didn't have what it takes to succeed BUT I am still thirsty... I've accomplished many goals And come true did many of my dreams I've studied and learned so much And I'm involved in many things BUT I am still THIRSTY... ~~~Antwian Crawford~~~ (Intellect) Copyright 2001 Used with permission.
