Not My Business By Mike Skill Skillsongs One day you're gonna fall down on your face Your friends will all be gone without a trace And daddy won't be there to catch your fall Square one won't look bad after all And now you're lookin' out for compromise Expecting me to stand and share your lies Well it's not my business No it's not my business It's all about you, don't mean a thing to me And now you're on your own, you seem to lose your way While doubt and chaos rule your drama play And the time we shared made for one long ride And now I know I can't rearrange your mind Knockin' down another compromise Up all night with your hopeless alibis Hey it's not my business No it's not my business Well it's all about you, don't mean a thing to me No it's not my business No it's not my business Not a thing I can do, don't mean a thing to me The wolves are baying, got you up against the wall Trust funds waiting, and you're broken now You lost your will cause poor's just not your style An evil path for high society's child Wondering where have the good times gone Facing life will only make you strong It's not my business No it's not my business (not my business) It's all about you, don't mean a thing to me I know it's not my business No it's not my business (not my business) Not a thing I can do, don't mean a thing to me I know not my business No it's not my business (not my business) I t's all about you, don't mean a thing to me.....

SKILL...MIKE SKILL
It's me, starting from a whole different place...
This is my first creation on my own!

It wraps you up, it kicks your ass, it's reflective, freeing with forward motion, with bumps and bruises, cut and gashes. (It's a wild ride with the top down)
