Show N PROVE

I wanted to post the lyrics to this track along time ago....but kept forgetting....A man, whom I believe uses his GOD CONSCIOUS most of his daily life read the lyrics out to me and I must say I don't believe back in '98...'99 when this joint came out I paid much attention to.......well it's time to pay attention and remember.......THE POWER OF GODS IN YOU!!!




I once asked God to forgive for my sins
Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines
A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this
Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law
Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for
The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
In hard times force crimes out of honest man
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
that it's time to take matters in our own hands

The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in
Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
and many die tryin to survive the next mile
Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
It's true, the times come through, chose the few
Show and prove, the power of God's in you
or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package
The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved

Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
Now we on the incline, build with one mind
Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind
So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine
I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds
Search for the knowledge, use science and math
and be queens and kings like the centuries past
The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
But I believe him when my culture sees freedom
You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em
Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him

The power of God's in you (show and prove)
The power of God's in you (show and prove)
The power of God's in you (show and prove)
True, The time has come through
Chose the few, must show and prove


PEACE TO THE GODS!!!

Take a MINUTE

A few weeks ago I got into this altercation with some chick in my class....She ended up calling cops and getting the Dean of my school involved...I didn't do anything but react to her action....But I realized that I know myself better than that...and I need to turn up the volume on the discipline level.....anyway the girl blew things way outta porportion but I can only reflect and change my actions....Here's a quote I saw the other day that myself and most others strongly need to remember and understand......



"He Who Angers You...Conquers You!"---Anonymous

GREATEST T.V. Show EVER Made!!!

Ok somebody get me some rehab cuz I'm back like crack on a t.v. show......but this time it ain't The SOPRANOs....although I thought I was going to have a heart attack when they said it was going to be the last season.....And yes my other favourite show PRISON BREAK is also going to be cancelled.....one more season and it's over:(

So Now I got TMN on demand which is pretty much the only T.V. I watch since I can watch whatever thats on TMN at any God damn time I wanna..pause, rewind thats the only type of t.v. I can fit in my schedule now a days.....Anyway my point is I'm addicted to watching My Favourite Show on Earth all over again...I was addicted then and i'm addicted now.....they put the reruns on HBO/TMN on demand WHOOPPPPIEE!!! And i'm telling you I love it more than the first time I watched this show way back in highschool.......I see the lessons and the jewels on life the show often tells of now that i'm older and wiser........

I only own two t.v. shows on dvd....Chappelle Show and Def Poetry Jam (all the seasons)......well I was going to buy PRISON BREAK (which I will eventually) but next on the copping list has to be OZ.......



Ya'll already know who my favourite character is....KAREEM SAID
Full of contradition but oh so wise and is ready to put his FIST up and Ride like a TRUE FREEDOM FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I got the most amount of Goose bumps when I learned that LORD FINESSE was gonna be on OZ...........SUPREME ALLAH..........WHAAAAAAAT Wicked!!!!! Remember when LL Cool J was on...ha ha

ReFOCUS

Been real busy with school and life.....it's crunch time a few more weeks and I graduate..heading to the finish line ain't easy........they got us on some essay writing ish.........Anyway been doing alot of meditating.....on my life...trying figure out why I been feeling sort of empty...like somethings missing.....came to the conclusion that I need to focus on my creativity.....I keep putting it on the back burner and I know for my soul that ain't good......Babylon keeps us so compressed and gripped on just there work......I'm a WARRIOR and I ain't one of those knuckle heads just doing what they gotta do.......The New year is beginning at the end of this week....what ya'll call SPRING....I'm a take the time to do some painting...work on some music.....and get started on somethings that I've been meaning to do for a long time now...........

Here's a track that I heard recently going thru some of my old cd's....



"I'm a manchild born in the promised land
Captain of my destiny, guidin my faith
through the turbulence of life
See, in order to be who you are,
you've got to know who you are
In order to get to where you want to go,
you've got to know from where you came
Say, it was Malcolm X who said,
"A man who doesn't have nothin to stand up for
will fall for any god damn thing!"



"You see, its like this
You've got to plan your work and work your plan
Cuz seein who fails the plan, plans the fail
Execute your strategy and seize your goal
Cuz see,
PERSISTANCE OVERCOMES RESISTANCE!"


p.s. I used to have the BIGGEST Crush on Shyhiem....lol

Peace

U Got IT!



I don't know what ya'll think of Kanye's girl...But damn this girl got STYLE!!!

EASY on the EARS




"For the real world just don't feel right
I wouldn't spend my days searching for, searching for lost time,
I wouldn't be so damn sensitive, I'd let things go by
No matter what the weather, I'd learn to change, I'd change with the time,

And everytime I need a woman, she'd appear right by me
She hold me tight, treat me right, and tell me that everything is gonna be,
is gonna be alright, alright

That's my dreamworld, that's my dreamworld"


This track is the TRUTH...Listen to the lyrics!...I think Thicke is finally coming into his own and not just trying to be another white guy doing black music....RESPECT!

MORE LOVE!!!

LADY Sings The BLUES

So I was chillin with my daughter looking for a movie to watch on t.v. last night and I came across this movie called "LADY SINGS THE BLUES" (1972) based on the life of LEGENDARY JAZZ Singer BILLIE HOLIDAY played by Diana Ross........I never even knew this movie existed and I swear after watching it last night I felt really moved and I'm now about to purchase the movie online.......Maaan I never knew Billie Holiday had such a ruff life.....Im starting to realize that many of the Legends like Sammy Davis, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin had really profound lives (My mother in law reads alot of Bio books & tells me about them afterwards lol) Oh and did I mention Billie Dee Williams (who looked and acted incredibly sexy) plays Mckoy who is the love of Billie's life....with out giving too much away I must say She had a GOOD MAN!!!....and Richard Pryor (with out the moustache) played the "piano man" who is a close friend & discovered Billie...............



Another aspect to this movie that really really appealed to me was the Wardrobe....Man did they put some dope outfits on Diana Ross....I was drooling! I can truly appreciate style back then....I mean women wore classy stuff...didn't even show much knee.....covered but sexy and stylish! I LOVE IT!



While I was googling for pictures, I noticed that Beyonce in Cadillac records kept coming up.......I know Beyonce has been getting alot of negative press lately and people are finally seeing her for the Robot she is (I called her out from time btw) It reminded me of how good of an actor DIANA ROSS was in this movie....daaang she did a marvelous job! She doesn't even look like Billie but she ran with it and might I add it's not easy playing a Heroin Addict espacially during the time the movie was shot but she was on point! Beyonce take some notes please!



So if ya'll get a chance go cop it, rent it, bootleg it...I saw it on Movie Pix...so if you got that channel maybe they'll play it again or put it on there on demand movies........


p.s. Reminded me that I have my Billie Holiday Cd thats collecting dust! lol

EVER Last

"Can't U tell I'M GONNA LAST..."



Woke up this morning and I thought F--k this! I'm a KEEP IT MOVING (Like LYVE would say)....The way I see it, I can't force anyone to take a chance on me...the kitchen was hot & he chose to boogie.....I've done that plenty of times to dudes before I had a child....(I couldn't deal with babymama drama)....the tables have turned.....

It hurts tho...knowing that I can't change my daughters father....and that there are going to be men out there that are not going to be able to handle the drama that can come with a "babyfather" situation......

But I'M WORTH THAT CHANCE.....I LOVE MYSELF enough to know that! My KINGdom Soon Come!

Anyway I was on my way to work and the first track that came on my ipod was that FREEWAY tune "Everlast"...Music I f--kin' LOVE U...Lifes Soundtrack comes right on time.....


FREEWAY - "EVERLAST"



BLESSED HAPPINESS!

2. The Principle of Correspondence : As above, so below ; as below, so above.

3. The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.

4. The Principle of Polarity: Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has it's pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites Are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.

Lost CIRCUMSTANCES

I went through what ppl would call drama last night...."baby father" drama to be exact......I feel like I must have done some real bad things to deserve this type of karma....I feel really heart broken because the end out come was me loosing someone that is new to my life...but in the short time made a deep impact on me.....But the way the story goes is that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON....and I must keep focused and remember that....I just wish things didn't have to go down the way it did yesterday......I thought I'd post the lyrics/video to a song my sisterine played for me last night on the ride back home, I really feel the words..............




"Lions, Tigers & Bears"

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears
But I'm scared of (loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair
But I'm scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love,
When Love seems to hate us?

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom.
You say you care, and I know you do...
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense.
Just cause I love you, and you love me
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be.
I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas
But the most frightening thing is you and me.

Most circumstances, I know my fate
But in this love thang, I don't get the game.
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend.
Just cause I love you and you love me,
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be.
Fly cross the ocean, sing for the queen
But the most frightening thing is you and me.


I'm sure though I'm not sure
But if we never try, We'll never know
It's better to have loved then not to loved at all.
Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall
And if we do, I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be sweet memories.
Oh I'm not scared...




As much as I believe in keeping a positive thought process....it's hard for me more than ever to trust a man....whether its there words, actions or intentions...I really don't understand or know what's real anymore....I just hope I don't feel like this forever......

LOVE
