pay the cost to be the boss

pay the cost to be the boss — These are watch words for people IN THE STRUGGLE. No success comes without SWEAT EQUITY and with that work comes the privilege of OWNING THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

These words were featured in songs by both B.B. King and James Brown as explanations both of the work it takes to be at THE TOP OF YOUR GAME and the privileges afforded to one in that position.

Swagger comes as a result of THE GRIND.

1) Nobody gives you NOTHING; you gotta pay the cost to be the boss!!!!

2) Lyrics Sung by B.B. King:

“ You gotta be crazy, baby
Just gotta be out of your mind
As long as I’m payin’ the bill

I’m payin’ the cost to be the boss…”

3) Lyrics sung by James Brown:

“Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I’ve Paid the cost to be the boss

Look at me

Look at me

Know what you see
See a bad mother

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss

Look at me

Know what you see
See a bad mother

Huh…”

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
