It sounds like a cliche but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends family school and church and sports.
Football taught me how hard you had to work to achieve something.
I don't pay much attention to sports.
But there are too many people that make so much money at the cost of lives of other humans and for no reason but to make the money.
