There is a fighter in all of us. When we live amongst average people, we without thinking, adjust our example to our opponents. Take back the fight for greatness!!

None of this is new, and I’m not knocking current artist. I am suggesting that mainstream hip hop culture does not reflect style or fashion that was created by the communities that it strongly influences. Listen as I explain. Lyrics: Pay attention to hip hops many directions you’ll see that the mainstream reflects some other culture’s trajection

Can you imagine Tupac wearing nail polish

Or Biggie Smalls in skinny jeans at an all white party

I know the picture flashed and it quickly disgusted you

Unless you’re wearing skinny jeans and sporting nail polish too

My problem is not merely with the fashion

It’s that we easily put it on before we’re asking

Like does this hand sign mean I’m ok

And why are guys in red looking angry and running up on me

Or cats C-walking cause they saw Dub C

Or sporting blue rags saying that you’re paying homage to Nipsey

Be aware of the social constructs

Cause slipping and using the N word can get ya head bust

Busted or burst either or it’s all worst

Live in fear to sell an album just a way to quench a thirst

A gator hey

Slow sipping hater aid

In my neighborhood sucka ducks were always catching fades

Like it must have been the clippers

frontin like you’re brave but you ain’t Chipper

Bad biz from following the Jones

And the OGs on the block would send you home

Scuffed on the elbows

And punched in both eyes that’s why I think the L bows

One of the OGs gave me a throat punch

I thought we were slap boxing and didn’t expect to get punched

But they raised me to be independent

We were passed the wack fashion

real heads Just rescinded

Sent back to the sender

Posted a note that said I’m owed 50 cents

forward to the vendor

We just some window shoppers

Have contemplating the truth of an Illuminati

got me reaching for the chopper

The black hawk is down

And Mr. Dominque Wilkins deserves to sit down

Human highlight reels

Better than Shaquille O’Neal in steel

Number one bound

Don’t like germs

EU So instead I’m giving out pounds

I am an educator in the Public School System; however I do not trust the system to fairly educate my child. The school system and parents should be a team, with the child’s development being the priority. When a child fabricates or truthfully communicates a situation where they have been spoken to in a condescending manner, parents rarely miss a pop up visit. The same parent will allow an entire school year to nearly pass before inquiring about failing grades.

I am not a fan of religion, but active in my church. Religion identifies problems with the relationship between mankind and God. Without Him we fall short often. I do not trust people, without the influence of Christ, to exercise justice. Any good or justice in this world, is a result of God’s presence in it.

As a Christian I stepped into love with a perfect person named Jesus Christ. All that he was is what I aspire to be. The evil of men are of no surprise; therefore, the templated responses to calamity without a call to reaction are futile.

The giving of alms should be done in secret. I mean isn’t the point to try to protect the dignity of the receiver? When you give alms is the point to please men that are looking? Or to please God?
