There will always be someone around you
Who will resent your claim to fame
Do not stress about them
They will soon be caught at their game
Let the jealous ones paint you
To be black like the coal in the ground
But show your true colors and shine out
Like the diamond waiting to be found
If humility is your forte
It will be your armored coat
Neither praise nor disgrace will touch you
And none can rock your boat
Do not let your success
Make you proud and rude
For it’s a’9 day wonder’
As has been always proved
Stay grounded all the time
Even at the height of fame
Let people talk with fondness
When they mention your name
