Personal Words



The lyrics i chose for this project are "Can't be Stopped" by Roy Jones Jr.. "Can't be touched Can't be stopped Can't be moved Can't be rocked Can't be shook I mean what I speak I do as I say I hustle, I grind Don't get in my way....you will not win Cause I will not lose" I chose these lyrics bacause it has been my mentality throughout life. I take pride in never backing down and i will never quit. Determination through competition is my drive. it makes me who I am.

Social Issue: "Your Not Allowed To Be Great"


This picture shows a young football player with his eyes closed reminiscing on what could have been. As the shadows creep towards his face, having already taken everything else, all he has are the thoughts of what was taken away. In bold red are the devastating words of "you are not allowed to be great."

This picture represents the stereotype and hardships that have to be overcomed by todays youth minority. No matter what he accomplishes, the shadows are slowly taking everything away. Everything he has worked for will never be known behind the shadows of mislead stereotype. Because all his hard-work will go unnoticed, he is not allowed to be great.
