IF

If...

I never get praise
For a Job Well Done
I won't get weak
I won't go back to bitter

Because if doing the right thing
depends on the praise you get for it
Then why do it at all

If Chivalry Is dead
Then so be it...

Last time I checked
I was well able
to open a damn door for myself
and if HIM opening MY door means
He gets to talk & treat me any kinda way
I say PLEASE BURY Chivalry..
along with the bullshit


If I have to lie
In order to get ahead
or keep a friend
Then I guess I'll be where
I'm at with me myself & I

What's the point in
Keepin It Real
If You Feel comppelled to be Fake

If I have to deal
with one more fake ass friend
I just dont know how
much more I can take

If
people don't like me
Trust... I won't loose
any sleep

Too many times
I woke up with fleas
Because of the friends
I was trying to keep

If I never have great wealth
At least the kind the world
can measure...

I will STILL be wealthy
Because my Soul is my
Greatest Treasure

If
All else fails...
There is always Jack Daniels
ANd Coltrane ...

That...
Is good enough for me.
