Alright so as I was saying
The reason we're getting into these lessons
Uh, is not for me to be preachy but
I believe that leadership and business kind of go hand in hand
In the world nowadays and so
As a business teacher, well I'll just put it to you like this like
My goal is not just to be the best business education teacher I can be
My goal is to be a teacher of character first
And a teacher of business second
In that order
Grace, yeah
Uh, just, before we get started I just have to ask you something (Okay)
I hear that you make music or something like that (Yeah, uh huh)
Could you like show us something or (Like rap a verse for you)
I don't know something
I feel like there's always a point every year where somebody asks me to do this in front of the class
And I don't know why as many times as I've performed in front of people
I get nervous in front of my students more than anybody but, yeah, let's give it a shot, here we go
Now verse two is for my pupils
You're looking forward to a life post-grad
Some of y'all got plans and some of y'all don't give a damn
I empathize, sometimes the struggle's real
You're just trying to survive
So busy working through the day by day
To make a four year play is often greeted with a two year delay
And plus you know how much your teacher gets paid
So realistically why wouldn't you try to join the NBA, hey
As long as we define a star as what we see on the screen
And not a person with a college degree
You'll take the people who keep telling you to reach for the stars as saying reach for the green
And you know, I understand it's obscene
Cuz while the educated tell you what to be when you're grown
The educated drownin' in student loans
I hope that you can find a way to place some value on the things that you're shown
Cuz I'll be thinking bout you out on your own
