Mr. Prince Brown

"I'm packing my bags, getting ready to go. I'm gonna get my reward, I've been living for; I'm gonna' stick my sword in the sandy shore, just before I walk thru that door, on the other shore.  When I move to the other shore, I won't have to study war no more. I'll be at home, and all of my sorrows will be gone, " - Doc McKenzie
