The Tradesman's Truth



I've cracked the code of the craftsmen's way
It's not just cash that gets our hands to proceed
We're fueled by something deeper, a fire that burns
A rep to uphold, a business that yearns

Sometimes it's skill, sometimes it's art
We hone our craft, play our part
Mastering tools, mastering trade
Building legacies that won't fade

Money's the motor, the driving force
But it's not the only reason we endorse
The passion, the fire, the love of the game
Building something real, leaving a mark that's got our name.
