The Apron

("the Apron" refers to a stage apron)

In this life,
two types were made..

the type in the crowd,
and the type on the stage.


The crowd consist of haters,
groupies, and fans..

Keep this type at a distance,
you could never be friends.

They were created to admire
and see from afar..

They follow. They don't lead;
and no one knows who they are.


The second type is on stage;
they were made to amaze.

To shift the shape of our culture
and the way the crowd sways

They lead and create,
they were meant to be great.

Getting too close to the crowd
will only hinder their fate.
