Analysis of EMPOWER

JaQuiondia Banks 1990 (MILWAUKEE, WI)



Empower
My goal is to empower others
To let others know
All you need is you to grow
When they say, “You cannot.”
Reply, “I can, and I will.”
As long as you can dream it
There is no way, you cannot achieve it
There is no easy road
There is going to be obstacles that will stand in your way, in order for you to grow
Stand up tall, with your head held high
As long as you believe in you, you will reach the sky
Write out your plan, and stick to it
No matter how tough it gets, you will get through it
All you need, is to believe in you
Your goals and dreams will follow through
Do not listen to the negative what people say
Do what you need to do for you
They will look up to you along the way
So, stand up tall with your head held high
Believe in you and you will reach the sky
