We wake up early in the morning

the state is so military

Suckers Fantasize, Pictures of a

Young ladies lusting

Was it I, or greed Or this life we the people have to lead

If daytime is for suckers then

Tonight we truly eat

Out for all that

Knowing that this world brings drawbacks

Look how this systems bumps

Once this deliver these battlefield traps

Let Meet and greet each other in equal fashion

I’m Dressed in Black

Tonight we

Honor the people those who won't be back

So if we cried do the same for me

Shed no tear

Hungry Outlaws, none convict living in this game,

For years

Why worry,

Hope to employer

hires me

When cause I need income

Knowing deep inside only a few love me

Come rush me to the gates of good true free living

Let me picture for a while

How I live for my days, as a child

I wonder now

How do we outlast, always get z small cash

Stay strong if we all mash

Hold it

How do we keep the music playing?

How do we get ahead?

Too many young companies are dying

Living too fast

The felonies be like prophecies

Begging 1st wealth classes to stop

Cause these lawyers getting money

Every time investors complained

tiping securities lyrically

Suckers fled when they notice

Switched my name to same

Half the rap game closed

Expose the catch , the peoples hocus pocus flows

They froze

Now suckers idealize my chosen poem

More money mean litigating

More Player hating

Got a cell at the pen for me waiting

Is that there fate?

Miss me with that felony thinking

I’d fall back

Never That

not Too much Tequila drinking

I'm all that

Make wealthy supporters them understand me

Hey I'll stay all night out with my myself

Everyone who knows me should be family

Cause everybody’s got me

people paint a perfect vision

This life we I’m living

Got us all meeting up in San Francisco city Prison

Last week I call from my brother Ramon

"Please be true "

How do we keep the music playing?

How do we get ahead?

To many young businesses dying

Living fast, too fast

God bless the child that can hold is own

Indeed

in needs when people hold the city

Let these words be the last

To my unborn days

Hope to raise the employment hiring

In this world of greed

Food means nothing if we still don’t feed is not free

Money Greed jealousy

Took the game

I hope for better days

Trouble comes naturally

Me running from authorities

The police did not have enough of me

My AIM is to spread more smiles than tears

Utilize lessons learned from my childhood years

Maybe Mama had it all right

Rest In peace

Straight conversation all night

Bless the dead

To the hotness that I sutra have

Those no longer roll

Catch the brother at the crossroads

Plus nobody knows my soul

Watching time pass

Through the glass of the world book

It amazes me how the government keeps elminating the things that are helping build our society. I am just getting ready to finish my degree in funeral service and now to get hit with my maximum funding. How am I suppose to explain to my husband and children that I will have to drop out because I am already $12K in debt from schooling and now the governemnt wants me to pay out of pocket? I graduated with my associates with a 3.8 GPA and scholarships and now this. Let the government tell my family how I have to work two jobs along with my husband to try and survive.

Everyone knows that continuing one's education past high school, either through on-campus or online college is an expensive affair. It involves a tremendous investment of both time and - especially today - money. There is no average American could consider matriculation without some kind of financial package, as well as the required values. Also, with college tuition costs rising faster than the national inflation rate, even better than now planning assistance along with what school they enroll in. All these factors make an accredited online...

I decided to go back to school in 2009 to get my bachelors of science degree at a local community college due to the expense at some of the larger more prestigious colleges. As I am currently just finishing up my prerequisites and about 15k in debt we get this major cut to the grant program. I am a working single mother of two like many other who have gone back to college recently, and struggling to make ends meet. Now it has come to where I can no longer afford to stay in college, work more hours,

and keep my g.p.a high enough to get into the "nursing program." This cut has created such a hardship in my family due to the loans that now need to be paid back on my small hourly wage,with no benefits, and still no college degree.

I graduated valedictorian of my high school class in 2009. I immediately went to a junior college because I could not afford the cost of going off to school. I got married a year later, and received the pell grant. I now go to aGeorgia College and State University. I have a 3.8 gpa while I work on getting a degree in management and minors in outdoor education and nonprofit management. I work two jobs and so does my husband. We currently have 19 cents in our bank account. We are not frivoulous with our money. We have never been on food stamps or had any other outside help. If you cut this grant we will not be able to make ends meet each month.

Respected Sir or Madam,

;

Today i would lay down some lines under your kind consideration. My name is Kinley Dorji and i am from Bhutan. I have finished my high school diploma in commerce in end of year 2009.Just now i am serving as a lab assistant in Collage of Natural Resources.I wanted to study further after my high school but i do have any one in the family who could support me in finance.But now our institute is changed into the degree collage and we have to up grade our qualification.But problem i am facing is my back round subject is commerce and the collage is science collage. So, i am not eligible in any scholarship that collage is providing.And there is chances of loosing the job.another reason is i have a week health, Due to that my hand shivers when i do the work and it is very dangerous while working with the chemicals.I had been searching the grants from the beginning of year 2010 from many organizations, But i could not get any grants because they are giving grants to the organizations and the projects.

So, I wanted to take undergraduate studies in B.Com in my own country. The collage in which i wanted to study is called Royal Thimphu Collage. The collage fees are also very less, Comparing to developed countries.It will cost only US dollar 15556. Actually i wanted to study by saving half of the my salary in the bank if i do not get any grants.So, i have saved US dollar 1111 in my saving account if i convert our currency. But now i think have to search grants as quick as possible to up grate my qualification.As i have mention above there is chances of loosing the job.So, if any organization could help me in finance for three years i will be very grateful.

Yours faithfully

People going to school, especially those that rely on the Pell grant are in the process of becoming productive, contributing, tax paying Americans. These are the people that if they don't go to college will most likely end up on welfare. Would you rather pay $5550 a year for a person to go to college for 2-4 years then turn around and pay INTO the system, or pay them $500-$1100 a month plus food stamps and medical for 5 years and slightly less after that (once the parents don't qualify for cash themselves, the kids still do). Welfare recipients rarely stay off welfare for long, where college graduates EARN money and PAY taxes. So for them to decrease the Pell Grant is to me the equivalent of the government shooting itself in the foot.

Pell Grants were never about "free money." They're a means to transform otherwise low income students into middle class taxpayers.

Pell Grants are an investment that ensures that we have the tax revenue to pay to keep affluent Republicans and corporations on perpetual welfare.

As a full time student with a part time job, I personally know how hard it is paying for tuition. I do qualify for the full pell grant and I NEED it! Do you know-how hard it is having eighteen hours not including homework and a job that pays just over $7.00 an hour? 800 bucks goes a long way for students who have little to no money for college. not to mention that I'm already $11,000 in debt and was JUST NOW awarded a scholarship. College I expensive, and every lotle bit counts. The 800+ they're looking to cut could pay for my books for two semesters if I'm lucky. Give us a break guys... Cut congresses salary. They don't need another car anyway.

"former president of Maryland Community College, recommends seeking out part-time jobs and additional scholarships from schools that otherwise would go unused."

So students that are already working and going to school are supposed to pick up another part time job? And because they're working so hard and doing so many things, their grades and general well-being have to suffer.
