Stay

29 Sep

The story is

The million dollar profits

and ravaged and razed souls in the cemetery

are part of different stories.

Much like a cart and an ox

Used up and left for dead

but they the only option

The pathways to heaven are large

but they’re narrowed by the funnels

and called tunnel, opportunities.

 

 

I command respect from the masses

half playing half serious like Cassius

For every dollar made

A punch to the heart exclaimed.

Criticisms of modern history

Lay blowing in the wind

Its much too long a story

More than a several handlers

Led to where it lies now

But you just see it with the wind

Like that is the only option

Like thats the way it should be

Has to be

 

 

I recline to chill

retrospection on introspection

leaves me cheesing

smiles that were previously stolen from me

 

 

As I inhale

A breath is stolen

A brain wrinkles

As a heart sinks

 

 

Pass the rifle

BLAH BLAH bourgeois

It’s time to roll out

out of bed

hearing stories of the dead

opportunities are wasted

Its because of the hatred

The underlying gimmick is the huge roll of linen

enormous in size

the only thing in sight

all cut from the same cloth.

Lies of amber grain

Pies of propaganda

For every ball hit off that bat

Another fallen soldier

Street Disciple

Philosophical gangster

Too many thoughts

they deviate from reality

So he’s lost until the world finds him

Until each track is laid until the end of days

Centers of vanity and distraction

Filler

Fluff

Than the meat comes in

Emptied out and candy coated.

NEW FEATURE: Dear Diary

31 May

So I have decided on a new feature for my blog. I was watching an interview with J. Cole (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQDjS5K1fU) where he was asked about his writing process for his new album, Born Sinner (out June 18th). He said he read a book called, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, that said people should write 3 pages nonstop as the first thing they do when they wake up to stay creative, improve one’s writing, and get out of writers block. I decided to try this out (before I went to bed) and I found it quite therapeutic and surprisingly hard even though I was writing in my 5×7 inch notebook. I intend to do this everyday and post the results though I do admit I might slip up every now and then or all the time regardless of how busy I am.

I call this new feature: Dear Diary. I chose to call it this because these are basically diary entries, and one of my favorite songs of all time is Masta Ace’s “Dear Diary” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzl5-ll40nc). Masta Ace was in his mid 30’s and hadn’t dropped an album in 6 years (Sittin’ on Chrome in 1995), he was basically out of the limelight and still is and is often regarded as one of the most underrated MCs of all time. His song , “Dear Diary”, embraced that, he write from the perspective of his diary who knows everything about him and is telling him to hang up the mice for good. I had and still have never heard any other song like it before and it has always stuck with me, and I always loved how the song’s title perfectly encapsulated the essence of the song.

Dear Diary: 1AM In Arlington (How do you write an eulogy…)

31 May

How do you write an eulogy how do you sum up a persons life into a few words a couple of sounds brought together and assigned meaning by through a collective conscious, got to write stuff for my fucking blog. Makin up bullshit, can’t tell if it’s that or if its’ really organic. King I thedivine on repeat beats are smooth but honestly other than this new shit I never really paid attention to this his new shit. A stop a stutter but I still gotto fill up 3 pages Thinking about the wordamerica or is it America why are things capitalized? Elitest bullshit. Philosophical Gangster with violent priors got the world under my belt the stage under feet, the you in the palm hand. Says the lion to the sheep Shouldn’t it be a wolf or should the sheep be a gazelle. Types B’s are ppl who do their thing, Type A’s are ppl who see ppl behind them and think they are winning but in reality theyare just about to be lapped. WAS it worth it? was it worth sinnin’? was it worth the end? Never take advice, invest in yourself ppl give you advice and you succeed-> cool, ppl give you advice + you lose -> you learn a lesson. learn from your mistakes be comfortable w/ your failure. Plus the more voices in your hed makes shit hella hectic. Got pull your own out of the catbag. Or in the cat in that hat the hat.Saw Dr Seuss’ book covers with their morals written on them in place of their titles. FF6 was terrible. Its’ 5/30/13/ at 1:04 Am on a thursday. I should name this post Am 1:04 AM in Arlington. Like Drake did + like everyone did after they rode that beat. I guess thats’ how you write a eulogy You just write whatever comes to mind and do your best the to encapsulate whomever/whatever’s essence/existence. A Humanistic Existensialist, I think I’m that not completely cuz I don’t subscribe to that labeling ignorance nonsense. 3 pages is a lot especially the big pape but this is just a small journal pages. Watched a J Cole interview, talked about how he read a book called _______________ that said to write 3 pages of stream of conscious as the first thing when you wake up every morning to get your creativity flowing/going.
