"PEER PRESSURE"
Written by
Dotti Holmberg-Waddell
RAP:
Those same people keep bugging you,
To do something you know is wrong.
It's hard to keep saying no,
When the peer pressure gets you down...
VERSE 1:
You have a mind, so use it,
Peer pressure can make you lose it.
It causes you upset and fright,
Learn how to say what is right.
CHORUS:
Being part of a gang may seem so cool,
But sometimes a gang may be bad for you.
A real friend likes you for yourself,
And helps to build your confidence.
VERSE
2:
Find things you like about yourself,
You can keep smiling, never frown.
You can be your own best friend,
And you can help others if they're down.
SING
CHORUS TWICE
VERSE
3:
Find clean, safe, and legal fun...
Not smoking, alcohol and drugs
You can find other things to do,
That are healthy for others and for you.
BRIDGE:
Remember, a real friend likes you for yourself
You don't need to try to be like someone else
Ask for help if pressure makes you feel
you're
not sure,
That's what smart people do when they feel insecure.
SPEAKING:
You can always ask for help!
SPEAKING:
And you can always give help!
You can help your friend to say, "no"!
You can give your friend the strength,
To get back on the right road.
SING
CHORUS TWICE
RAP:
Peer pressure promotes a quick response
Say: I'm into wellness
I don't want to die young
Chicken??? Do you see
any feathers on me?
I need my brain
Don't do it chemically
Peer pressure won't get us!
No way!!
