PERSONAL WORDS



The lyrics I have chose for this project are Football Anthem by Ludacris.


"You might as well quit, cuz you just can't last, im comin through tryna put your face in the grass."

"And your spine in the DIRT, so put on a SKIRT! If you step on the field and don't wanna get HURT!"

"Just bruised and beaten, all black and blue. And it's been like that since 1992!"

"! BEAST MODE BABY!"

"IT’S IN THE GAME!"

I chose these lyrics because, for starters, this is the theme song to one of the best video games known to man which is Madden. I have a passion for football, and this is a football song. Many football players would agree that this song is good enough to be A Football Player's National Anthem. I personally chose these lyrics because before every football game I played in high school, I would listen to this song. It never disappoints me, after I'm done listening to it, i get in the zone and nobody is going to take me out of it. It's Time For Football. This is why I chose theses lyrics.

Social Issue "BLEEDING INTERNALY AND OUT"


In my picture, there are two innocent young high school teenagers that were supposed to be best friends. As you can see in the photo, one of the girls is carrying a bloody knife as she walks away looking back in envy and despite of the other girl, showing that she has just betrayed her best friend that really trusted her. The other girl has a knife jammed into her back symbolizing being betrayed by who was supposed to be her best friend. If you look into her face, you can see the pain and agony that she is suffering physically and emotionally as she tries to look back but is unable to.

The fact of the matter is that many people have best friends, but are they really your best friend is the question… Can you trust them to watch your back or never trade on you? Many people would say yes to that question but the truth is “we live in a world where even best friends can’t be trusted. It’s ok to have a best friend but you should always stand guard and watch your back because the person who you say is your friend could very well be the person that would stab you in the back to get what they want. I know this because I have experienced this once. I had a best friend before I moved to Arizona. Right before I moved, he “my best friend” tried to mess around with my girlfriend. Eventually, she told me, but that one little thing caused me not to trust any one person as much as I did ever before.
