Today's bar is from New Orleans' own, Curren$y. This particular track "Example" from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don't hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta "shook the dice and rolled," he also took that step when others would "stay shook and froze". So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters.
