"Your Voice, Your Choice"
By API youth summit leaders
CYC: Community Youth Center
Mission Statement: Motivating youth to succeed.
If insecure if broken down
You need some knowledge,knowledge you need it now
You have these clothes but you don't know
How much it's worth,worth from head to toe
You ask me who I want to be
You ask me where I want to go
But truth be told I don't know
So listen,
Cause you can find who you are
if you just look to your heart
And say what you want to say
Your voice
Your choice
Just come to API and see
Cause right here and right now
Is where you are supposed to be
So, Show yourself some lovin'
Make it alright
Need some confidence in your life
Your voice
Your choice
Just come to API and see
