My Vote(My Shot parody lyrics)
By Precious Perez
I am not throwing away my vote!
I am not throwing away my vote!
Hey yo, I live in this country, I got a civic duty,
And I'm not throwing away my vote!
I'm a blind American whose in college,
Gettin' an education, and dag, they're amazed and astonished
The problem is society thinks that we can't accomplish
Things like gettin' a job,
And earning equal pay as blind people.
I'm a federationist,
That's what you need to know.
Tryin' to reach my goal. My powerful vote is undeniable.
Only eighty years, but our country's older,
These US policies get bolder,
We shoulder
Ev'ry burden, ev'ry disadvantage
We have learned to manage,
But we're not alone in all this,
Trabajamos todos juntos.
The plan is to turn this spark into a flame
So let me tell you how to exercise your right today,
Just go to nfb.org, /vote, whereever you may be
Equality, fight for voting independently,
We have the right to participate in democracy.
Essentially, we are a minority.
we have the power to shape the future with advocacy,
We ain't never gonna see the change in policy,
Unless we stand up on election day and make 'em see.
That we are not throwing away our vote
We are not throwing away our vote
Hey yo, we live in this country
We got a civic duty,
And We're not throwing away our vote!
And we're not throwing away our vote!
We are not throwing away my vote.
Hey yo, we live in this country
We got a civic duty
And we're not throwing away our vote!
Es hora de votar.
