"I played trumpets, to warn you that I was comin."





"I played trumpets, to warn you that I was comin."
Wisdom: A bold behavior that implies that even if one is forewarned about one's presence; what that person represents and has the ability to do is not relevant because that person being warned is incapable of stopping or restricting their flow. Basically, if person A is warned that person B is coming to 'mess them up'; there is nothing that person A can do about it.
