Don’t hide your Pride

 
Baton Rouge is her home
Southern University is now the jungle where she roams
Spring 2012 a new jaguar was on the prowl
Excited for her first homecoming as a student at SU
The many free activities that take place on the yard is something new
There is something fun for everyone to do
From the fashion show to the parties, concert, step show, poetry slams and art exhibit
Or the BET College Tour which includes a wide variety of entertainment
Such as games, contests and music
There was even a table for voter’s registration
If someone asks is she enjoying this year’s homecoming,
She’ll reply, “Yes” with no hesitation
Homecoming is more than just a word
It is an annual celebration
Bright and early Saturday morning people find a place in the crowd
Surrounding Scenic Highway and the parade route
As she strolls down the strip,
Soulful sounds of the Human Jukebox practicing enters her ear
The baddest band in the land is what she looks forward to hear
Football season is her favorite time of the year
Present in the student section cheering on her team
“Ay-Ohhhhh talking out the side of ya neck” is one of the many chants the fans scream
Waving side to side, pom-poms fill the air with blue and gold string
Watching the Gold N Bluez perform their dance techniques
And exquisite formations on the field
As the drum major takes the lead
The crowd-pleasing half time show is what many audience members come to see
The stands of A.W. Mumford Stadium will surely be filled
As well as the open areas on campus
Where noses take in the aroma of food being grilled
Mobile homes, tents and vehicles mark their spots early
The early bird gets the worm
The saying is true for anyone who has plans to tailgate at SU
People walking and talking
Vehicles passing with their speakers blasting
Sound systems knocking, bottles popping
This is only a small glimpse of the scene
The yard is show stopping
Large painted signs in front the Union
Ribbons and paper of the school colors in the trees
Students from many different universities
Come with family and friends to participate in this experience
Some dress up, more concerned about their appearance
True Story, this is how it goes down
Let’s show school spirit and let Texas Southern hear it
Jags get ready to defeat the Tigers Let’s get it!
Rep Who? SU
