Talking With the New Horn Player

recognition from his peers
those who knew what it was like
to do the work
you were great at doing
staying true to the game
and keeping your word
finding people who puts the need for honesty ahead of personal gain
those who want to see you succeed doing legal and righteous things
being happy drinking water
and smiling even if she don't think you are cute enough
or she can't believe in the 3way you are
I don't smoke
I don't drink
I don't curse
I find knowing whats right and wrong
might keep me doing right
I wish to have partners
who are savage and sinister
I hope they don't look at me as a know-it all
and respect me for being me
kind words
and a smile
not trying to cross paths
and trying to keep all things documented
so that all involved might prosper
keeping true to my wife and family
so that they can look to me for help
and so that they help me when I need it
and as for revenge
if God doesn't do it
it might never be done
I like contractual science
it makes keeping track easier
as far as speaking from the view of
"guys like me"
I think it's wise to understand
that a great actor researches his roles
and music creates scripts
