… how highly they regard me! I mean, I’ve always known, ain’t no secret there … but lately, the adulation has been constant, non-stop … and it got me thinking, opening my eyes even more to how much everyone likes&respects me! Always going above and beyond/going the extra mile for me. And I came to the realization why (again – wasn’t no secret, but with so much of it recently, made me think ’bout it) … very simple really …

it’s not whatcha got, it’s a-what you give
it ain’t the life you choose, it’s the life you live
it’s only what you give, only what you give, only what you give
it’s not whatcha got, a-but the life you live
it’s the life you live
