STILL PUSHING

Image
He been chasing his dreams so long that it's hard to believe, That the prophesies over his life he would ever achieve. Cause he's been at it so long he can't think of a reason, Why it hasn't happen yet after so many seasons? Yet he keeps on grinding, don't stop believing. Working on his next script til' the depths of the evening. Just to wake up in a room where he can hardly move, This is a lifestyle that very few would halfheartedly choose. But he has a vision in his mind, a promise in his heart. He knew it would be a battle from the very early start. Sitting at his desk eating oatmeal again, When he get on swear to never eat oatmeal again. But that's a sacrifice necessary to survive the struggle That's a device used to entice him to thrive in his hustle. He knows talent alone won't ever be enough, So he's added discipline and persistence to make him tough. Living in a city that can break you down, He holds on to the image o...

THE AMBITIOUS MIND...

Image
Sleep less, work more, But work with a purpose what do you work for? No pain no gain, so let it hurt more. What is your vision of success what do you search for? They say life is short, but I say is life is long. Which puts an emphasis on decisions, and knowing right from wrong. Although the wrong decisions can teach you the right lesson. Cause learning from mistakes is always the right blessing. Beware of false prophets, those who are teaching lies, You need a teacher's heart and a student's eyes. So you can understand the question, but also have the answer, And walk what you talk and know what you stand for.... And just because they let you down don't mean you let up, And if the world knocks you down, then you just get up, Can't see the future looking at the ground so get your head up, And if the world pissing you off, good, let's get fed up. Cause when your back is up against the wall that's when you really see, What you are made of and ...

A TRAIN RIDE

Image
Standing on the platform of the subway waiting for my train to come, Watching the crowd move around me, everyone is on the run. Shades over my eyes, to help cover the lies, We avoid contact, no need for interaction in our lives. Took a seat next to a young brother dressed as a male nurse, He said "People always look at me like I should holding a purse". As if the thought was on his mind for sometime which he rehearsed. I said "the people don't know much, ignorance is a curse. Like you gotta sell dope, to be considered to be dope. Media thrives off destruction, no money in selling hope". He nodded his head and said, "My brother you deep, What do you do for a living, I like the way that you speak"? "I'm an assassin with words, a murderer with verbs, A gangster with the nouns, a criminal with a curse. Writing weekly blogs that hopefully shatter the earth, Exposing all that's real until they see my worth". ...

SUN SHOWERS

Image
Have you ever been outside on a summers day and caught a sun-shower.... This is the purest reflection of life It's the mixture of sun and rain like the pleasure and the pain The beautiful struggle of the pursuing the life I realize that this moment reflects me the best Because when I look in the mirror I see a beautiful mess The sun is, when it's the funnest, me and my runners Flying through the city posting pictures for the world to see But you never saw the rain and the pain When I get home and I'm alone as can be. Or a single mother, losing her lover, Raising them kids all on her own Never home she working hard as can be But when she gets a day off, The hard work creates a pay off Holding her child in her arms always setting her free. The sun is feeding the flowers just like rain is But what's insane is, how they're viewed so differently Because in order to grow, to reap what you sow The pain amplifies the pleasure to the hundredth degre...

TRAP WORK: "Turn Down for What"?

Image
The office is a professional environment. It's a place of work and creativity. It's a politically correct plateau on which decency and good manners reside. But it's also a tough place to spend 8-12 hours and not go crazy. For most of us, music helps to get through the day. It soothes us when we read an angry email. It calms us when the phone just won't stop ringing.  However, it seems some find it harder than others to keep things appropriate at the office with their music selections, and few are just clueless. So, allow me to give you some clues. My friends, here are the my top 5 artists/genres that are not to be played out loud at work, and even with headphones on, be careful not to recite the lyrics! #5: HEAVY METAL And it's not that I hate this brand of music, but the loud guitars and high pitched screams can be a distraction in the work place. Not to mention the countless hours people waste once they can no longer fight the urge to bust out the air g...

DREAMS VS REALITY

Image
My dreams are often rejected by my reality. Reality is the acceptance of the state you are in, but dreams are the possibility of what you can become. Life therefore, is and should be the pursuit of a dream. Reality is the cause and effect of a dream deferred. The reality of a situation is only the mind accepting the failure of a dream. When one is told to face reality, in essence, he is told to abandon his dreams. We live in a world of reality. Only the brave dare to dream. Too many of us are stuck in the hell of life. Trapped by our realities and prohibited from our dreams. Fear binds us to our reality. When fear tells us we need to pay our bills, reality is to get a job that pays, even if you have to abandon a dream. However, faith is the energy of dreams. Whether it be faith in ourselves, in God, or in others, faith inspires us to dream. Dreams are the thoughts of our subconscious, the mind that is trapped by our reality. You dream of the stars, but your reality ...
