The closing track for their self titled album is a tribute to just how hard these guys would work to make it in the music business. Lyrics like "we've been eatin beans and rice, but don't misunderstand us, we'll always pay the price" are what this song's all about. Immediately after uttering these words, Larry then leads the group in a drum solo, followed by Cal's bass solo, Dirty Don's guitar solos (Don told me in 2013 that he couldn't believe that was him playing on the track!), and more horns and keyboards from Michael, Rick, and JoJo. This track ends the album on a bang!
