7 Habit Rap

Below is my rap that I performed for the students during our leadership assembly.  Sung to Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys.

Now here’s a little story I got to tell

About 7 cool habits you’ll learn so well

They started way back with Dr. Stephen Covey

And now we’re bring’em to this elementary

The 1^st three habits start with you

So here is all the stuff you’ll want to do

Habit #1 is about being proactive and being in charge

You’ll do the right thing and you’ll be livin’ large

Habit #2 is to have the end in mind

Always have a plan and won’t get yourself in a bind

Habit #3 is putting first things first

Only start to play when your work’s done first

The next 3 habits are about working well with others

Remember to think of everyone as your sisters and brothers

Habit #4 is always thinking win-win

Find a solution for everyone and make it the best it’s ever been

Habit #5 is seeking to understand then being understood

If you can remember to do that then it will be all good

Habit #6 is the habit of working together

Synergizing with others will help you forever

The final habit is remembering that balance feels best

Remember to sharpen your saw and it’ll take care of the rest

Take time each day to make the 7 habits who you are

Don’t forget being a leader will take you really far
