How I feel... Defined by Lyrics Vol. 3, No. 2 Redux

"Lord help me out
save my soul need to find a new route
[...]
label me what you like
I'm close to my victory
dosed in the fight
when I open my eyes somehow see at night
beyond trying to see what being rich feel like.
6 figure check for my mom for peace
everybody wanna stick on me like leech
take my blood, give fake love
till I turn em down
I'm the one who changed bruh
ask why I don't call
coz when I was starving you wasn't at all
around. now I gotta shut shit down
Be a man pick friends so selective now
You're cool, You're cool, Fuck you
And to the bitch that *scratch* oh yeah fuck you too
Tried to shine now everyone knows
Yeah Kudi slipped up and loved them hoes
we all make mistakes yes,
no worries I just kill a bitch with success
[...]
No bitch on arm
just my words and my stoner charm
and my dimple's deep
I smile at peeps
coz I went out and got what most y'all seek
[...]
God walks with me but I'm still vexed"

This song pretty much describes how I felt writing a previous post and still feel at this moment ( How I feel... Defined by Lyrics Vol. 3, No. 2).



Things have been at all time lows in my life in the past 5 years (which explains the title of my blog, couldn't fall any lower so could only fall UP from then on... just in case you didn't get it).

Some people liked me better when I was down there.

How I feel... Defined by Lyrics Vol. 3, No. 3

hmm... I had to be reminded on 3 occasions that my birthday was coming... I usually react that way when I am not interested in something... I just don't keep it in memory. Well I had no intention on partying or anything, just turned 28, I done celebrated all I had to celebrate so far in my life. Next step should be getting my house and hopefully the girl I will spend the rest of my life with (yes, in that particular order). But with all that happened to me with my past relationships, I have no trust in women and finding it pretty hard to approach anyone that I remotely like.

Something else I gotta work on I guess...

"The girl he wants don't seem to want him too
It seems the feelings that she had are through, through
[...]
He seems alive, though he is feelin blue.
The sun is shinnin man he’s super cool, cool.
[...]
He's all alone, some things will never change
The lonely loner seem to free his mind at night, ah-ah, at nite" - Kid Cudi

So it seems I changed...
This is happening sooner than I expected. Well I guess it's true, no apologies as it was necessary. I had to go beyond certain things to make it where I'm at in life. I might have to say no more than 'hi' in this day and time.

I don't expect them to understand at all. They just see it as me thinking I am above them all. That thought never crossed my mind, but I will live with the blame. Peace!

"Though I empathize with 'em
and sympathize with 'em
I don't enterprise with 'em
or synchronize with 'em
we don't strategize with 'em
[...]
we don't fraternize with 'em
let 'em patronize
we don't want no ties with 'em
we won't monopolize with 'em
let them ostrosize
we don't compromise with 'em
we won't victimize with em
commit genocide with 'em
spit they lies with 'em
or objectify women
[...]
socialize with 'em
broke my ties with 'em
now we open eyed in this over hyped system" - Shad

New Music : The Abstract Best

Been out of it (The Loop that is!) for the past 3-4 months and been digging now that I have some time for it all. Fell on this one before it was removed from Hiphopdx.com. J. Period delivers another tribute mixtape (check out the interludes!!!!) as Q-Tip lays some knowledge lyrically and musically.

The interludes are filled with insight and info on tracks he recorded more than 15 years ago, including one where he recounts the story of Hood who was on the Scenario (Remix) track whom had died before the track was released. This helped me understand what Busta was saying at the beginning of the track:
"Whereas there are seven MC's
Six which are in physical form, one which is in spiritual essence
And he goes by the name of, uh... HOOD!"

This is filled with classic verses old and new and tribute tracks featuring the likes of Consequence (Q-Tip's cousin), Kid Cudi, Skillz, Busta Rhymes, ATCQ (A Tribe Called Quest... for u newbies lol), De La Soul, Dres (of Black Sheep), Amanda Diva (of Floetry... yeah, there was a breakup in the group and she now replaces Natalie "The Floacist" Stewart), Talib Kweli and many more!

CHECK IT OUT, It's Well worth it!

"When you hear this, recognize you hear love
MC nigga illin over b-boy dubs
Riding through the shit like Tron
Doesn't matter if you onboard, do you wanna get on?
Cause if you do, watch all the moves that we make
Gotta do the things right, ain't no time for mistake
It's the hip-hop cat that can't, fuck with Jake
Just because he wear a badge doesn't, mean he straight so
what you wanna swallow it down or let's take it
Disregard those who fake it, yo it doesn't matter
about the realm, hip-hop is to the helm
It's divine to hit the mind like slippery elms" - Q-Tip

Peace!

YES!

The weight of the world is now off my shoulders. Carried it for 9 weeks straight. Legs got shaky, some pointed at me hoping I would drop it, others encouraged me not to give up. I made it and I am proud of myself as a new chapter in my life is about to be written.

Positivity, don't underestimate it's power!

Now it's time to go to work!



I'm a MTL boy, I may take some getting used to!
