The only difference

All my life I've been haunted by the fear of poverty.

Shortly after I flunked out of university I saw a busker in the street playing a violin. I remember thinking to myself, "The only difference between him and me is that I can't play the violin."

Fear made me desparate. When I started my first business a few years later I would have killed anyone who got in my way.

  1. Yeah...I can see what you mean. I think. Your first paragraph in particular has got me thinking.

    I'm really glad you're getting so much pleasure out of hip hop lyrics. I've had trouble with my hip for a few years now and it's always heartening to hear from somebody who's refused to let it get them down. Keep on hopping!
