Drink that, taste this, do that.

Why? Why must I subject myself to the pressure?

To the pain of fitting in?

Is my life that trivial?

Give me a reason why I should throw away my life.

Found one? No, I think you are too shallow to understand that my life is valuable.

Maybe not to you but it is to me.

My dignity, my pride, and self-esteem are way too important to perish so my life

I will cherish it.

After all, your influence is not one to follow,

So all that pride you can swallow.

To lead me astray in a manipulative way and render me inadequate is not my way.

I am a strong mind and not a fool so my life I will keep.

Peer Pressure? I refuse! No drugs! No sex! No evil! A nuh dat mi a pree!

So listen up, keep your bad dealings away from me.

It is my responsibility to uphold my youth and let my character shine.
