<Destinys_Child> and it's called "The Writing's on the Wall"

<Destinys_Child> We just keep praying and our parents are on the road
<Destinys_Child> with us so it's not like we're running wild.

<AskTheArtists> babygyrl_02 says: destinys child how does it feel to be a positive role model for many fans? such as me
<Destinys_Child> It's an honor. Even before we were Destiny's Child
<Destinys_Child> we were role models, because we have brothers and sisters.
<Destinys_Child> It's an honor but it's also hard
<Destinys_Child> because we know we have to do the right thing.
