Ok is this thing on here
Ok it's my turn to talk about it, alright
I want to talk about the Lyfe Jennings project
Album number 3... now this project kind of reminds me
of an epiphany I once had back in the old country ya know Jersey

Now I would hang out at the old arcade
and I would be up there watching the little kids come in
and they would play the pinball ya know
and they would line up one by one to play the game

The first kid would play until he was out of quarters
then he would have to run up to the counter to get more quarters
and he would lose his place
So another guy would step up in his spot
so the other guy would play of course until ya know he ran out of course to
but then he would have to do the same thing ya know
go up front and get more quarters so some of the kids ya know...

I notice that they came with their big bags full of quarters
ya know thinking that they would be able to play the game all day
but eventually they would run out of quarters too
and they would lose their spot, but low and behold
there was this one kid I mean a short stumpy guy ya know
not a lot of kind features but there was an aura about this kid
ya know something different...

Now you see this kid he brought a kid with him
now everybody thought that these two guys
were in competition or something
but when the kid would near the end of his game
he would send the other kid to go and get more quarters
So the guy would be on the game, I mean he would be on the game
every day for hours I mean until he was ready to leave
he would stay on the game

And bada boom bada bing that's when it dawned on me
that this pinball thing is just like any other thing in life
just like any other thing the guy who stays in the game the longest
is the guy that brings change
