Lyrics

The lyrics I chose for this project are “What Am I Saying” by Lil Rob. I chose these lyrics because there are certain verses that I really identify with. It gives me a sort of a sense of peace and that I can identify with. It also makes me contemplate decisions that I have made and choices I will make in the future. I also happen to be thinking of certain things, even though the song is about love, I can relate to other things as well and how people make me feel.

"I'm lettin you know, I'm makin my move I know the love shows, you got me talkin like this See I don't wanna be Just another one of them guys who feed you lies Girl you're too fine As for my mind, well you blew mine You got me feelin like I'm walkin on cloud nine One of a kind, hard to find, but I found mine"

Social Issues

My social issue is on expectations and how people expect various things from different people. The statement “the bar is not high enough” can be interpreted various ways. One way is that is it easy and that I can do better or nobody expects anything so they have low expectations. It affects me and the various people around me because many people expect a lot from me and some people do not expect anything from the people around me. I chose it because I am expected to do great things such as get straight “A” or help ten people at once with different things.

I chose this issue because I had some of my brother’s teachers and he is smart. When they asked me if I was his brother and suddenly expect me to be just as smart or smarter. That does bother me because to know what is expected when they have not gotten to know me.
