attitude (edited 12/1/10)

i got a problem with people who are timid and tepid
faking their strength and masking their weakness
eating up stories of everlasting gores and scores of gold
that they forget why water is sold
cold
nature became a commodity
instead of a resource

i got a problem with me for having problems with others
but i ain't never too sour to hear myself utter
excuse me miss
i didn't mean to
cause some else was narrow minded
i got to slim my light
timidly mistake a friend for a foe
but if i wasn't a butch dyke
i guess i too
would be the hoe
that fits the shoe
of asking for it
not minding her own bizz
without the right to reserve the right to kiss

fundamentals

I feel lost in translation
i know there is always an explanation that
gets me high on frustration
frustration of knowing better and choosing worse...
of wanting to boil down differences into similarities
all the meanwhile holding on to a truth that is more complex than
just single minded attitudes...
to ask questions that don't have answers, yet.
but the fact that they are voiced onto the universe projects
a deeper understanding by knowing there are ways to go about learning
that we have yet to comprehend...


SLINGSHOT HIP HOP



what does it say about the essence of hip hop when images translate concepts and notions without understanding the language in which these are articulated?



what does it mean when baggy attire is still consumed internationally to demarcate hip hop yet the new bone thugs and harmony album cover has them all suited and booted? ooh the good all days...




in trying to attempt to understand the road ahead, I look back at the roots of our desire to challenge and challenge over again to plenitude what we have come to qualify as our truth.
