The Mind Is Everything, What You Think You Become

There’s just a time where it was like, just getting pussy. Where I was in that sort of ‘I’m young, I’m going to disconnect from my emotions and just do what everyone else tells me I should do and just be a rapper and have my fun.’ And for me as a person, it just doesn’t work. I just need something else. The seconds after a man reaches climax, that’s like the realest moment of your life. If I don’t want you next to me in that fifteen, twenty seconds, then there’s something wrong.

The Believer- Common Ft. John Legend

We go from being Oppressors to Oprah
Cultivated to overcome ever since we came overseas

We live in a generation of, not being in love, and not being together

But we sure make it feel like we’re together
Cause we’re scared to see each other with somebody else

…Never forgetting the past, but just embracing this moment and saying ‘take care’ to any doubt, any second-guessing.

I want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullshit. I don’t think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. And how they remember you is up to you. I just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because I wake up every morning and I’m me.

Shawn Chrystopher - Five Letter Word

I never said the word bitch til my heart was broken,
Now it seem like bitch the only word thats ever spoken

Live in the same city, drive the same streets
But when I ask for some time, you say you can’t meet
You say you gotta work, and you got shit to do
But all that really means is I don’t mean shit to you
