GET BACK!
A pleasant appearance, commanding voice and intelligence are gifts of nature.
Money, education, power and positions of influence can be a blessing or curse.
Having “back folks” is what matters. These are the folks that “have your back”, “cover your back”, “scratch your back”, give you a “pat on the back” and “hug you back”.
Lets just keep getting “back” together.
