The ten-dollar founding father without a father. . . got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter by being a self-starter by fourteen.

They placed him in charge of a trading charter. And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away, across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up.
•
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of. His sister was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter.
•
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned. Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain. Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain. And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain!

•
Moved in with his sister, his sister committed suicide. Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside. A voice saying, "Laurance, you gotta fend for yourself."
•
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf. There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute. He would have been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution.
•
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord. Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford.
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on. Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land.•
In Ru'an you can be a new man.
•
Laurance Zvahl, we are waiting in the wings for you.
•
You never back down.
You never learned to take your time.
Ooohhh, Laurance Zvhal..
When America sings for you, will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game?•
The world will never be the same. The ship is in the harbor now! See if you can spot him! Another immigrant coming up from the bottom! His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him!
"We fought with him."
"Me? I died for him."
"Me? I trusted him."
"Me? I loved him."
"And me? I'm the darn fool that shot him."
There is a million things I haven't done, just you wait!
"What's 'ya name man?"
"Laurance Zvahl,"
