Proceed

there is no secret to wealth

think it in to existence yourself

you don't have to buy it

from someone else

if you want some help

get up and get it yourself

don't look to no one else

it's not wise to give others

your money to bank

It's your story

write the book

do it yourself

pay attention

you may have to

invest in a tank

if you look around

and find a penny

on the ground

shinny brown

throw it back down

there is nothing worst

than the curse

of poverty

you're on solid ground

if you own some property

if you move up

from the hood

and believe me you could

when you do

you should

join some

sister or brotherhood

staying connected

is wise protection

if you  have some true friends

list them

it's wise to have a good

support system

carefully read the instructions

we all are in need of direction

never confuse love

with the act of affection

an eraser is for correction

don't like everything you see

it will return one day

and sting you like a bee

listen to the voice in your head

as long as it's not telling you to

go out and paint the town red

don't be misled

and whatever you do

make sure that your

babies are fed
