OAKLAND --  Most of the time, Seahawks Running back Marshawn Lynch can be spotted running through defenders or crashing over a goal line.

But every once and awhile, he'll sing and dance.

Lynch, a native of Oakland, Calif., joined students from the Oakland School Districts to shoot a video promoting school attendance. Shot as a remix to Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop Believing," Lynch encourages Bay Area youth to attend classes and graduate on time. Recently, the school district has seen a dip in attendance.

Lynch's Fam 1st nonprofit foundation has previously worked with Oakland area youth.
