WRENAGADE RANTING LIKE SHE DO:
Exact Change...(Shout out to Bambu for making that Good Music to keep the freedom fighter going))
alright so I don't have an issue wit folks rocking gold teeth, in fact secretly (despite my boojee homies trying to convince me otherwise) i find gold teeth kinda sexy especially on bay boys...(i wouldn't spend my money on it but wouldn't knock you fa doing the impressionable biter gold grill thang) no my issue is not with gold teeth or gold chains, its the mentality's that we are chained to, that our worth should be bought, that we would rather buy some flashy shit then go at the status quo and work towards equality so we can all be free...
**('Im still going at the status quo over the SLAP))- Bam
%(I'm not saying this to shake you up, I'm just saying this to wake you up...) -Weezy
*(Take this Personally)-Ise -to-the LYFE
Consciousness-Wise words:
"In the midst of labeling people in society, people forget that ... Read Moreeveryone is human and has emotions. We thus place ourselves up for judgment when judging others. I feel a person must make that change consciously, yet I now understand it is often because most people are unconscious of their being. They completely operate off the illusions of their minds, all holding onto the images and thoughts which cause their disfunction. A person says something offense, and it becomes accepted by people, and before they know it, their mind is constantly replaying all those beliefs from the past. I feel "The Power of Now," is an excellent book for people to end that streak of ego created personas."-Anitheiess Jackson (c) 09

GOOD MUZAK--->So if conscious music just means your just awake, you do not have to be evolved to be awake, and awake does not mean perfect, so instead of talking down it is essential as the soundtrack that we speak to folks and not down at em, so props to the Emcees that keeps it real, and still lyrically come wit it inflicting the questioning of this system... BAMBU, DO DAT, JENNIFER JOHNS, K-SWIFT, ISE LYFE, ZION-I, EYEASAGE 2 name a few...
Exact Change...
THE LYFE
"yall wanna be laughing and clapping in the club" while somebody just died in the streets in the BART station and all over the nation just for their race, so to me this system has way to many people ensuring that some people are not free for ME to just bullshit or go out and sip on some drizank just to sip on drank. Yet to LIVE we must have Balance, so how do we sustain, how do we take the time to not get so injected with injustice by protesting but not chill and escape so that we are injecting- i- don't -give- a- fuck, and smoking -to high to care about society's chains or sip on -some -too -drunk- to- see- -injustice- from- justice- so I'll just trust it just fuss wit my everyday problems-->thats a hot mess. We all got relax in different ways, and we all gotta get paid, but lets not trade our souls for some gold...
so lite 1 up fuck it lite up 2...
BALANCE- the average person watches t.v to forget they problems, or thinks that the news is bringing the truth, not realizing that's like pressing snooze on the truth on the real "real world" and we are all hurled into this world thinking I am not the boy or girl that has the power to change this world not realizing, we can change by visualizing, and affirming, and concerning ourselves with the problem, and the wrong, and coming together, always try and make it better, and like Obama be about change and being about change means to acknowledge all the ways that this system sustains chains of colonization since 1492...
Acknowledge-Contradict-and
the Status Quo-Privilege:
They say the paid it off they paid for it by not getting the street cred, getting teased in the 4th grade not realizing what some pay everyday, they say man I had a bad day, while some can't hail a cab, some can't grab they wallet with out getting shot, they think its hot, the culture the music, and realizing there using, they choosing to generalize, to think its tangle able to make a whole culture laughable, taught to complain when they can't see they road is paved while other never seen open roads they see roads closed dead ends, some complain bout a recession, when some live on a reservation and are a forgotten nation only found in old westerns stereotyped, and mascoted, and represented as rotted and conquered, i have to be bothered...
It makes some (that benefit from this) very uncomfortable to talk about this idea that based on how white you are you have more privilege, those same folks sometimes claim to be very down-with statements like-"I don't see color" when that's like a handy capped person saying of i don't notice the lack of ramps or elevators in this world" of course you don't see it you don't suffer from it (i took that metaphor from Katiana herself) anyway this sickens me, when speaking out I get that look from some folks, like why? why are you making this your issue clearly your skin tone makes you free, but see, when your best friends get watched in stores, and your peers from elementary get shot by the po-po, while I remain free, I must speak out, must be about, another route. Anyway to clarify although a lot of the issues I (and my freedom fighter family) speak out on are labeled as "black issues" but they are not, they are Human Rights issues, these issues are in the tissue and every cell in me, it is in my blood to put up my fist, regardless if it puts me at risk or on the governments black list, ignorance is not bliss, unless your extremely selfish, like when rappers say they roll up wit 1000 $ on they dash, to me thats heartless, cause the folks wit purple hearts on the streets that sleep on the concrete can see as they ask for CHANGE please?
DE-SENSE-A-TIZED
We zone out to survive, we get high to escape, so that we can prepare ourselves when the ones we love are killed or jailed or beat, we must check out so that we can sleep, some are numb from video games and the over all media, some are numb from seeing there best friend shot in the face, either way, i pray, those nerve endings are re-awakened and shaken to wanna see and re-care and want a more fair world I know life ain't fair I see that clearly with this go getter mentality you can see this too clearly from the 9th ward to Seminary if you ain't bout getting paper you are ranked as better in a cemetery so hear me cause I hold these ideas dearly with visions imprinted in my retna of what i seen, so we all fiend to get away, smoke that j, live it day my day, to escape the pain, but WAke up, feel it, feel the lives lost like we carrying each coffin on our back, while sustaining to keep are heads up, and get up and never let up, and step up to being leaders, and knowledge eaters, and teachers...
TO BE CONTINUED...
please continue to think critical, be literal, not without laughter but jokes only go so far, and at what cost, at who's happiness lost, we have options, just PLEASE don't PUT US IN NO BOXES im claustrophobic and that's OBNOXIOUS! i gotta right i gotta fight i don't bite but shine lite all day and nite...
