YOU COULD BE MY GUY
By Andree Bogle and Joan Cartwright (8A)
 
(First Girl and Boy)
 
Hey, Boy, you say that you can dance
You say that you can move
Why don’t you get out on the floor
Let’s see what you can do
 
               Hey, hey, go on with your bad self
               Yeah, I see ya, I can feel ya
               Go ahead and move that
               You just might be my guy
 
(Second Girl and Boy)
 
You say you got the right moves
I’m not with playing games
Go on out there and show us
With your crazy actin’ ways
 
               Hey, hey, go on with your bad self
               Yeah, I see ya, I can feel ya
               Go ahead and move it
               You just might be my guy

I’M RUNNING, I AM RUNNING (2X)
 
I am running for my life 
From Mississippi to Carolina 
I’m running far away tonight 
Where my master cannot find me
 
They made me work against my will
They beat me up ‘til I was still
 
Running is the only way 
And God knows I cannot stay 
Working hard everyday 
Picking cotton ‘til I was gray
 
I have the scars to show what they did
Hallelujah, God has set me free
 
I’M RUNNING, I AM RUNNING (2X)
 
Mother died when I was three
I was raped at seventeen 
Master tried to sell me off 
And killed my child in front of me
 
I heard master coming my way
So, I took my things and ran
 
Now, I’m headed for the North
Where it’s freedom I will find
Where I’m treated with respect
Where I’ll live my life in peace
 
I’M RUNNING, I AM RUNNING (2X)
THE MUSIC LESSON

In a teenager’s life 
You got cheaters and abusers
People who just don’t know how to act
 
We got a world of haters, liars and thieves
When you leave your house
You don’t know what to believe
 
There’s too much peer pressure. 
Who can you trust?
You can’t get education, no matter what you do
 
You’re just a castaway in a world that’s going bust
With no hope to find the path that’s right for you
 
There’s a lesson in the music
To show you what to do
It’s a shining example of
What is good for you
 
Just listen to the rhythm
And enjoy the beat
Everyday will be much better
Life can be so sweet
GHETTO LOVE CRISIS (CLUBWORK)

GHETTO CRISIS, GHETTO LOVE (2X)
 
It’s ghetto love just me and you
And you know what we’re supposed to do
We got problems everyday
But my love for you won’t go away
 
GHETTO CRISIS, GHETTO LOVE (2X)
 
First we dated, then, we married
And all your babies I did carry
You gotta know, if you fall
That I’ll be there, through it all
 
GHETTO CRISIS, GHETTO LOVE (2X)
 
If you cheat, your butt I’ll beat
It’ll hurt so, you can’t take a seat
But our love is strong, even if I’m wrong
We can make it through every storm
 
GHETTO CRISIS, GHETTO LOVE (2X)
 
I know you’re crazy ‘cause you killed your wife
But I’m gonna love you for the rest of my life
You’re my boo, my honey, my sweetie pie
And I’m gonna love you until you die
 
GHETTO CRISIS, GHETTO LOVE (2X)
A CHILD’S PLACE
By Greg Liptrot and Joan Cartwright (8E)
 
 
Imagine a place you can go everyday
A place where all of us can work and play
All the staff, counselors and teachers
Using reading and math to help reach us
 
Snack time is one of the best times
To sit back and relax and watch the sunshine
Learn something new and every book you touch
This is the place we love so much
 
               It’s a child’s place running in the sun
               It’s a child’s place work and having fun
