My passion for fashion ain’t that great

I’d break beats over boards before I could skate

My hands are shaky with a pen

I blur lines when I try to blend

When I sing I bring tears…followed by cries

And the only thing I rap are followed by fries

I’m [UNTALENTED]

But I can teach

Give me a book and knowledge is what I’ll preach

I’ll give you words followed by words

Followed by words, followed by words

Write them down and LEARN

Understand what I don’t understand

That’s what I’ll teach you to do

I’ll give you what I lack, or rather bring it out of you

Creativity plus my teachings will spawn the next generation of thinkers

What I lack in talent I make up for by living through you

I’ll be rewarded for giving you what you already possess

My talent is to teach

I’m not [UNTALENTED] after all

My Shoes Are Worn

August 25, 2008

My shoes see more action than me
In and out, in and out
my feet slide in and out
creating friction between my soles and my soul.

—————
My shoes are worn
They’re worn because I wear them often
When I first wore my shoes we didn’t really connect
I had to break them down, break them in
Create comfort in a place tattered together by baby hands
I really love me shoes
They’re dirty and worn
To the point where no one else would dare touch them
Sealing their fate as forever mine
I dominate my shoes
Stepping on them when I feel like stepping
Sliding in them when I feel like being inside of them
My shoes are completely submissive to me
That’s why I like my shoes
I OWN THEM

I just read my last post it kinda came of as if I take music seriously which I do, but that’s only the left side of my musical mind. I love music for what it is, whether good or bad. I’m no better than the rest, I bob my head to the same degrading misogynistic songs you do (and you know you do). I some times listen to the catchiest of songs, and even fall for their “undenyingly” repetitive lyrics and over used drum and snare samples once in a blue moon. I don’t judge anyone about their music taste or the music they make. Music is just as human as the rest of us and I accept all of her flaws. Yes music is a lady and I plan to marry her some day (when it’s legal)


One of my all time favorite thoughts
AND
Pesonal Motto
Enjoy

Music is a definite part of me in so many ways, and I believe only a true music fiend can appreciate the different forms that music portrays. My adoration knows no boundaries when it comes to style of SONG. When I listen to a certain genre, what I look for in a song is almost always different from what I’d look for in another. When I’m listening to 2pac I look for his passion and his message so I can feel what he’s saying in the rhyme, as to where when I listen to Lauryn Hill I crave for her voice and raw emotion to carry me through a song. Which brings me to another point, I hold MCs and singers in two totally different lights. When I’m listening to an MC I look for the meaning and the passion behind the song (dope beats too of course), but when it comes to a singer the song could be singing about pea soup, but if I can feel that emotion along with the naturally beauty of their voice I could vibe with it til the soups all gone. When I listen to music more along the lines of The Beatles I look for a mental and visual trip of thoughts (I get high off of them). I think that’s why my soul truly belongs to the past, most of my favorite songs and artist come from times before mine. I love jazz,blues,folk,indie,rock, and like a lot of the music I listen to comes out of the 30s through 80s eras, and everything after that is mostly hip-hop and soul/R&B music. Not to say that I don’t listen to some current rock,indie,folk music (not going to mention all the sub genres that would make this way more longer than needed) because I do listen to a good amount of current creations and I’m always looking for new and unheard things (got any references?). I just really relate to the old school. I’ve always been told I have an old soul (but the spirit of a child), and I definitely believe that.
   Music draws alot out of me, and it also puts a lot into me(what..,what did I just say?). I treat music like my best friend, I look forward to it everyday, and I dream about it at night. I wake up to unknown melodies that tease my ears to the point where I’m singing a song unknown to me. I’m that kid waiting with a music quote for any situation, or who knows just the perfect song to match your mood, or nurse your sanity back to level green. Music is like an open book to me, you can get anything from it or nothing at all. I could here a song with a beat so undeniable that my body forces rhythmic movement whether I consent to it or not, or a melody so welcoming my vocal chords can’t help but join in. Other times I might here a song that consumes me so much, that I can’t stop thinking “I would have went to Eleanor’s funeral” lol. I’ve traveled throught alot of thoughts, I don’t remember the point of these words. I guess to sum it up CREATIVITY+SOUND=DOPE


A Personal Favorite
Enjoy.
And Have a GREAT TODAY
Peace
