Politicians talk blah blah and tend to fix nada

Now that we got a celeb running the show, DACA is caca

Taking the juice out of the undocumented

Like squeezing milk out of a vaca

As he laughs, jaja while probably eating some carne asada


Then he tweets it ain’t that bad, no need to worry

I’m gonna take a 5-minute break, THEN kick y’all out in a hurry

It’s not like all of you are out, actually 100k less than expected

But 100k more than that is how many of y’all I personally rejected


Cause I’m the leader of the free world, so I have to be careful and selective

Make sure no one’s doing anything sneaky

But wait, you want to see my taxes

Nah you’re better off hiring a private detective


He's probably making excuses

Like your home uses Celsius and km, but our system is metric

You’re better off there

Things here are too different, more hectic


He has ruined the days of these 800k

Like everyone wanting a run at the 1

Only to see the coach call the wrong play

Or to make it more relevant

Like that time he won the election on November the 8th

It’s good to be optimistic

But currently, what good is there to say?


Now if you look at it differently

This makes deportation occur more efficiently

Cause now you’re kicking out working, rightful immigrants

With proven productivity and lawful innocence

So that lazy, ungrateful, bum-ass citizens

Have more job opps and openings; tell me, what’d be the difference?


Most in DACA are 25 and over, with 93% working

While 15% less of Americans the same age got a job

While the rest of them are drinking and twerking

Cause instead of school and interviews, they stick to being fools and flirting


I’m 25-1, but I got a job so that’s a plus

Graduated from school, now helping people go back or work by building that trust

DACA recipients have it bad, but us minorities feel like life can be a bust

If this dude’s mom saw me on the street, she’d think hugging her purse would be a must


I should support whoever the president is, but somehow I don’t

Use my position for division? Yeah, I think I won’t

We’re called the United States for Christ’s sake, shouldn’t we try to be a team?

Him, make a plan for that, sign an act? Now that sounds like a DREAM

Bet it’s more likely he blows the last administration’s ideals to smithereens with hyper beams

Then go on twitter and put up a picture of a stupid Obama meme


Now si, soy Hispanic, US born, but I ain’t trying to be biased

The proof is in the pudding though, the DACA youth is working harder than I is

They’d probably be quicker to fix that grammar error than a normal citizen without even trying

That’s supposed to be a joke but if you told me it happened, I’d assume you weren’t lying


But goddam 78 to 93?

What are the other 15% doing, updating their Snapchat and IG?

These Dreamers are inspiring more out of me

I mean I have the opps they didn’t get just by being born in NYC


That’s a fact that may be unfair

Trump doesn't give a damn, but at least Obama cared

We should all be Dreamers, wake up to make it a reality and get the fuck off our chairs

Try to use our time more wisely, maybe focus less on our clothes and the stares

Believe it or not, I tried helping someone who didn’t want to go to work because his mom didn’t do his hair


That’s real, not a joke

Sad fact I just spoke

Based on the stats, us adults should be the ones taking notes

If we were an egg, these guys would be the yolk

Cause they’re out here looking more like role model citizens than us folk


I just hope this rescinding of assisting for people trying to make a living

Becomes something that helps the Dreamers continue receiving through the efforts they’re giving


Cause I don’t see the wrong in people coming here and making us look better

Employment is a big deal and I’d rather look like a nice jacket than an ugly Christmas sweater

We should find the good from other places, like Egypt and leather

Change ain’t always a bad thing; maybe that’s why Jose’s coming to spice up this weather


At the end of the day, we should help those we can, like ourselves for example

Don’t blame your shit on other people, man

Si se puede, yes we can

You can trump over your troubles if you get off your butt and take a stand

Though most of the time you can’t change the rules and a ban remains the plan

If it ain’t an obstacle to you, you better take advantage of it, man

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
