"A whole lot can come from nothing... I was living proof. You're doing good if you got yourself Four walls and a roof. If you give up the time- Your soul will play the song... Do what you feel is right and don't do nobody wrong. Don't pay no mind to critics- They'll say what they'll say. Care more about your work Than you do about your pay. Be careful where you tread, 'Cause you'll always leave some tracks But if you take the wrong road Ain't no sense in looking back. Watch the name you live up to- You might have to live it down. Once you start to fly- It's hard to see the ground. Don't let anyone tell you who you are Or what you'll be. Be your own man and live your life accordingly. Anything worth doing, Is worth doing right. Including causing trouble And picking out your fights. There are only two things for sure- One is life and One is death. Make your dreams come true And- You decide the rest." from Me and the Eagle 2003 Beau G. Robbins, Semper Fi
