This video is short and sweet… you won’t regret watching it!”
Empowerment Through Music
While the original track touches on romantic woes, Ms. Johnson’s version is all about empowerment with catchy lines like, “Let’s be great, ‘cuz I know we are great,” and “I just completed an ELA test, turns out I’m 100% that smart… even when I’m feeling lazy.” The remix continues with lyrics about math and teamwork: “Yeah, I got math problems, that’s the student in me. Buzz, buzz then I solve them, that’s the worker bee in me. Want a friend who’s committed? Help you with your homework, just a little. You know I’ll hold you down, because you got my back. And that’s the sound of the yellow and black,” referring to their school colors. It wraps up with the catchy chorus, “Let’s be great, ‘cuz I know we are great. Let’s hurry, we don’t want to be late.”
