Watch Who You Hang Around
Watch Who You Hang Around
By Samiaya Daniels
My Mom Always Taught Me To Always Be Careful
Who You Hang Around, They Go Behind Your Back
And Try To Clown
They Try To Pick You Up, And
Then Try To Push You Down,
They Will Make You Happy But Then,
Try To Make You Frown,
They Will Turn You Purple But Then,
Turn You Brown.
