The road to make is not any easy one
It’s full of mountains and valley
Filled with story of warmed tears
But it’s success is surely attain
The road to make is not any easy one
It’s full of mountains and valley
Filled with story of warmed tears
But it’s success is surely attain
The road to make money is not for the lazy bones
For it demands the strength to beat the odd
And will to determine what tomorrow might cost
Yet some will fill their belly filled with it.
