Pick Yourself Up - Nat King Cole
Nothing’s impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start All over again. Don’t lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again.

Aquino and Gordon on the Economy: A comparison of... →

I’m talking, leading in all the polls, polls
Trying out yellow clothes, clothes
Media blowin up my phones, phones
Drop toppin’, scolding my...
