what's in between the rags and the riches
the word two you gotta have two times the grind to go from rags to riches
if you dont believe in your rags then the riches never come
the man in the rags wants riches hes ambitious
getting by means even if thats washing dishes from ramen to what ever is delicious
time is money but money is time like squares and the four corners are they always the same?
not enough milk and honey for the ride
some come from rich and some from raggedy and tragedy
should have kept your rags kid*
comfortable with what you got maybe that's riches
money power and respect which is missed
looking for the recognition but never the success of the mission
A book, like many of a series tells a story
A boy/girl who had nothing going for him all of a sudden an opportunity is presented and you either sink swim or like many of us float
you look at this opportunity but never take it or the initiative that it takes to get to what you want in life because you are comfortable where you are at in the sense that people already like your **** but you want them to love it go further than your friends go to strangers and have them give it a listen
imagine handing your life's story to someone you've never met and they just so happen to be someone who can add a whole chapter to it
Get out of your comfort zone and takes those rags tell them you demand the riches but show them why that's what it's all about
1 hit wonder or not someone saw more potential in you then yourself at one point and you need to take that with you all the way to the end of you because the beginning is only where it starts and how can you see the end if you're still right where you started they call it a journey for a reason it takes you everywhere you want to go and no where you don't hard times and situations are a different story but in the end you still create the vision you've seen since day one whether you like it or not that's not the plot and it sure as hell ain't about what you got it's about what you give how you working for it thinking about how you wanna live on the top of a mountain for all to see how the rags to riches story came to be and what happens when you think you've said it all you barely scratched the surface like history it will repeat itself so you can say it all and say nothing that someone hasn't already said you can just think about it differently and make others marvel over the fact that you took the time to get a bit deeper. it's always harder when you're closer to home able to reach but never to hold it's the matter of time and place not rhyme and race
