You'd Be Making a Lot More Money

Why don't you go somewhere else,
Where you can become more 'noticed'.

'Noticed?
Noticed for what? '

What it is that you do.

'I don't know what you mean by that,
However...
What makes you 'think' I am not noticed? '

You can't be.
Not here.

'Oh...
I see where you're going with this.
You mean 'noticed' in a way,
That celebrities and stars are noticed'

Yeah, yeah...
Exactly.

'So you can say you know me?
Is that it? '

NAW!
So 'you' can be happy!

'And...
I'm not happy? '

You can't be!

'Why? '

Because you live 'here'!

'OH...
So I can not be happy,
Doing exactly what I choose to do...
AND live here.
Is that it? '

People don't have respect,
For someone like you...
Here!

'And what makes you think,
I am not accustomed to being disrespected?
That has nothing to do with what it is I do.
Nor my choice to live here.
I love what I do.
I love where I live.
I love the people I come in contact with.
Why would I choose to go somewhere else?
I can expect to get disrespected.
AND...
Check it out!
That has helped me achieve my success!

And I couldn't afford to get that anywhere else,
But right here.
That may seem foolish to you!
But my mama didn't raise no fools! '

You'd be making a lot more money!

'To have you calling me every five minutes,
To borrow some?
No thanks! '
