I was on the phone 2day!

I was on the phone today and in the middle of the conversation buddy on the other line told me a quote that I will never forget. He told me that he was told that “if you can count your money you don’t have enough! If that aint motivation for that ass I don’t know what is lol. Not to mention that’s just a gangsta ass quote!! That was so gangsta I had to look it up.

J. Paul Getty, Founder of Getty Oil Company was actually the one to say that and he really said “if you can count your money you don’t have a billion dollars”

@LupeFiasco

Not many people that have made it mainstream talk or even mention anything that makes the listener think about themselves and the world around them. I’m glad to see Lupe progressing, sticking to what he believes, and not compromising his art.

Battle of Puebla and Cinco De Mayo

Getting totally wasted today? I know the fights on today but, have you stopped and ever thought about what actually happened on that day? Your probably thinking; who gives a fuck ! IT’S A CELEBRATION! I used to be the same way until I noticed how much the media started putting so much emphasis on holidays, it just makes me wonder and shit that’s my money I’m spending on a event that didn’t take place here in the first place. But I feel that you should at least know about the history of these events instead of blatantly boosting the profits of companies that don’t do a damn thing for you and me.

Sometimes you gotta take off

Sometimes you just wanna get away from all this
When your spirit is low
Seem like aint shit going your way
the place that you’ve always been seems like a unfamiliar place
Yea wish I could take off in2 space and leave this world behind………

Simply titled: #Play dat shit while you read

Expanding my horizon back to my roots
Searching for new music and old truth
putting my ears in the dirt listening back in time
to the raw sound of Djembe’s congo’s before the rhyme
before my time I’m searching for something old but its new
to me cuz I grew up without my-story all I knew was his-story
all my life a sheep I was prepped to be
Disobedient, Deviant,Criminal and felon they labeled me
the corner, detention and jail is where they placed me
told me something was wrong with me misbehaving in their society
but I aint nothing but a Panther Wise to they trickory
also a Lion and I’m going to be free
as a man I do as I please
No longer a slave in my on mind chasing senseless dollars on the lonely
Ima turn this shit upside down and make a way so me and homeys aint gotta be hungry
NO MO!!!

Before I went to college I aint know about Fraternities, I went to college with two three things on my mind, Mo-Money, Freedom from my folks and Females Got Damn. I was commuting so I didn’t have the gas money to be going back and forth to school but I joined as many clubs as I could. One of my peers saw my work effort and invited me to join a certain club. After I joined that club eventually the offer of the Omegas was put in front of me. Know they assumed that I knew what was going on which I didn’t and at that time I was down for whatever that would increase my chances of getting a career when I graduated. So in order to join you gotta learn about the shit and when I read that  the Omega’s where under the laws of the District of Columbia that set off a alarm in my head because I knew more about the District of Columbia than I knew about the Omegas at the time. That shit made me question joining this fraternization that others in college seemed so eager to join but I never got a chance to…..the most high had better plans for I and I.

Something Gotta Shake Open Your Eyes

I know whats going on, Corporate “Wink Wink” America is steady flooding your ears with distractions, propaganda, putting it in front of your eyes telling lies to your vision, telling lies through your phones but until you REAlize and wake up you aint shit but a legal fiction got damn! Don’t be a Dummy cuz a dummy needs a ventriloquist GOT DAMN! Are you Pinocchio or are you a REAL BOY think about that shit before they pull the strings on that ass! Shit bout to change and its happening real soon! Only WE! {WE} THE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THIS SHIT NOT OBAMA NOT THE GOVERNMENT US!! UNITED WE STAND and DIVIDED WE FALL but it starts WITH YOU! LEARN WHAT THEY DIDNT TEACH YOU! FIND OUT THE SECRETS THAT THEY HIDING…
