How I feel... Defined by Lyrics Vol. 2, No. 6



wow

Well on this great night, I saw something I never expected to see in MY lifetime. This is one for the books as History is still being written and I am proud to say I was a Witness. I will talk of this moment for years to come.

"If I could find the spot where truth echoes
I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future
I would let their future dwell in my past
so that I might live a brighter now" - Saul Williams

The moment where the house filled up with my father's loud claims of victory running down two sets of stairs arms in the air to shake us up. The moment I turned my sight away from the tv screen with a large smile and faced him and saw a tear come down from his right eye. Eyes red from the sleep he deprived himself of just to see it all happen. The moment a black man was elected president in another country and how it meant so much to us.

"Here I go again, the same old shit
My mind is still playing tricks
Cause today when I left my residence
I heard we had a new black president
And he wasn't no Uncle Tom
Rudy poo stankin' fetch house n!gga scum
And white folks wasn't planning to murder him kid
Cause they voted for him just like the blacks did
And this might sound reckless
But I got a loan on a brand new Lexus in Texas
If I'm lying I'm dying, everybody was color blind
Went to church and I gotta admit
Walked in, didn't see one hypocrite
It appeared every single soul was reached
Cause the pastor practiced what he preached" - Willie D

I just pinched myself and I wasn't dreaming!

"Some dreams stay dreams, some dreams come true" - Nas

How I feel... Defined by Lyrics Vol. 2, No. 5

Hot dang, this whole election got me excited. Anxious to see the final results.

"C'mon now, make it happen, make it happen" - Big Daddy Kane

"Yeah I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I've got a new song, and I want y'all to sang alooooooong
Sang aloooooooooong..
See this is the way that we walk on a sunny, day
when it's rainin inside and you're, all alooooooooone
All aloooooooooone - yeah!
Cause the whole, world, loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)" - Outkast

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

It's Obama's time! The Evolution will be televised!

"They said this day would never come" - Obama

I have great hope to see him make it and change the face of the USA, has hard a job it will be.

"I'm out for presidents to represent me" - Nas

"If I was President, 
I'd get elected on Friday, 
Assasinated on Saturday, 
Burried on Sunday. Then go back to work on Monday" - Wyclef

They might try, but they won't get him. People keep making jokes about assassinations, nothing funny about it because if "He dies we die too" - Nas

"And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to have a black President, uhh" - 2Pac

"Something is holding me back, Is it because I'm black?" - Syl Johnson


A message To All the detractors, black & white:

"Yes We Can"
