I am Rolanda that’s who I be

I walk down the street so happy and free 

That’s the way I am, that’s me 

I like singing, reading and writing 

Instead of walking around fighting

Now that I see it 

I’m a pretty good child 

I come to school everyday with a big smile 

To remind you of who I see 

I am Rolanda and that’s 

Who I Be
