Pay your dues.
Give your best.
Suit up but don’t go west.
Show who you are but not too much.
Individual, I’ve never heard of such.
Stick it to the man, but not to the self
Cultivate the selfish wealth.
I give you myself for the rest of days,
Except in times when there are no rays.
Seek and you shall find
No Child left behind
Impede but don’t intrude
Curse all day, it’s not crude
For the people, we are the people, I am the people.
AMEN
