I have no clue how the label came about, but as soon as I was old enough to sense the world around me, I realized whatever I do, I will be known as stupid.
I, and my folks, are thought of as fools for no reason. We are hardworking, carrying loads from one place to another, but do we ever get credit?
I love singing. Once I hummed a melody, and was beaten up by sticks. I fled.
I never sang again.
Our dreams are broken, and yet we live, for the world. Don't we deserve a little respect?
