regeneration

im regaining my love affair with real hiphop. pure genius....

I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcom, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death through conception
New breath and resurrection
For moms, new steps in her direction
In the right way
Told inside is where the fight lay
And everything a nigga do may not be what he might say
Chicago nights stay, stay on the mind
But I write many lives and lay on these lines
Wave the signs of the times
Many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed and everyone wonderin' where I'm
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize that I'ma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I'ma do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz, gramps wantin 'em
Demons and old friends, pops they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
When drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
and I just wanna BE

back to the future

I AM

tired. also very curious to know if anyone reads this or if im writing for the sake of my clustered brain. tonight im having a love affair with sleep. in the last 4 days ive had like 6 hours sleep, its 2.30am and i have a game of soccer at 9am. whyyyyyyy?! just tell me something, not keen at all. by the length of the microsleep i jst had, im signing out. if i cbf tmro, ill post a sensible blog which probably ill only read. haaaa cooll.

WTF

i just realised how hardcore emo my blog has been. for the sake of the nobodies who would ever consider reading my nonsense, its 1am and i have a 2000 word essay on race and identity due at 4pm. i am yet to put my fingers to the keys to even contemplate starting that monstrousity of an essay. its just really stupids thats all, uhhhhhh. i did this last night as well, i wonder why i always fall asleep on random santa claus looking strangers who catch my drool as they watch buffy (okkay it was one time). uni is ruining my life, everytime i type something i feel like i have to reference it (Frankson, 2009, freshly quoted). i just gave up on myself....back to being emotive complex and hardcore. for your exclusive benefit i shall now exhibit my cool life right now in a series of detailed emotions....(keyword: emo)

fury from the fist

the truth lies far and beyond the power exerted by the brass knuckles of strength. within the vastly torturous jungle a man of incrediable knowledge emerges. worldly enlightenment embodied in a single organism..... inspiration to the masses.



My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done. All through my life I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested. Every step of the way I believe that God has been with me. And, more than ever, I know that he is with me now. I have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. l am still learning. - Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr aka Muhammad Ali
