Something to think about
Some of the comments in another thread reminded me of this old song by skee lo (yeah the guy who made I wish) what he says in the first verse in one of the realest things I've read in terms of fighting (as written in song lyrics) and really does hold true. It sort of illustrates why we advocate the need for live training:
"I used to think that I was hard
The kind of kid you don't wanna mess wit'
I'll fight you and your bodyguard
I was illeterate, we're talkin' gibberish
But never considerate of the way I treated friends
I would fight ten kids and I would fly all heads
I would even fight dragons 'til they'd be dead
I would presidents and the man, you bet
But it's just too bad because I ain't fought yet
You see, I took a slug at no one
But if I ever did, I'd have to show one
That I was like, able to wreck it
I thought I knew but I didn't know
That all the talk in the world doesn't make you a pro
And so, came my first real fight in the hood
I would bash a skull, if I could
But that's when these kids wrecked my world, swept my feet up
Straight got ill and I was nearly killed
It never crossed my mind"
i'm nobody...i'm nobody. i'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo... a boxcar and a jug of wine... but i'm a straight razor if you get to close to me.
