We came from sleeping on pissy mattresses to Trump Plaza suites. I used to be a messenger. Back then I couldn't even get into a lot of these buildings and now I'm invited to the penthouses. I wish America would take a look and realize the prodigal children that was produced from the hells of America. We weren...
