By:RealTalk I just wanna take a couple of breaths that I breathe (of mine)
to express some views on issues that I usually keep in mind
and whenever I wanna speak
I normally just close my lips, shut my teeth and grind
while thinking that i… am keeping too many feelings inside
that in due time will rise my adrenaline and further nurture anger
and keep it high
and soon these things will climb and find their way into a box
labeled:”These Pet Peeves of Mine”
Well, “Keep it real” is a term often over-used
or mis-used
and confused
with false realities that are taught to you as views
So, do you think you REALLY do folks a favor
when you save your comments and opinions about their ideas
and replace it with a, “That’s kinda hot!” ? NOT AT ALL!!
you see, human beings learn and act according to what others do,
and some folks value your opinion.
So when you send them off and DON’T tell them
that they shit is not hot and okay,
they walk away thinking
they shit is “off the chain” like free slaves
and it’s a Mi-stake
So all there is left to see is where the problem..excuse me…
or THOUGHT of a lack of a problem lies.
Is it because of those weak-minded citizens
that cry at the sight of criticism you know those that
serve as the fetus for this ‘umbilical cord’ called a “bandwagon”
with which if they parted and took sides
their vitals would flatline.
They follow trends like:
birds follow winds
like no more babies follow havin’ twins(unless the parents love kids)
or like nuts follow hittin’ skins (like nuts follow hittin’ skins)
…I’m digressing again…
so it’s either the fault of the citizens afeard’ of criticism
or those that hate to pull punches and live their life
by the theory that, “Beind NICE is lying”, and
“being RUDE is telling the truth”,
So no one wants to be perceived as a “meanie”
so they support verbally and notarize with a stamp of approval,
and don’t show their face.
But you’d be surprised at how many folks
get falsely “gassed up”, wit they nose and ass up
so high that when they idea actually flops
they just can’t stop and they just WON’T STOP!!
because no one slowed them down earlier during the creativity stage
and gave them a genuine opinion.
So it’s partly their fault at first for sending you off (at FIRST!),
but “fool me TWICE, shame on me” (that means ‘YOU’ mean ‘ME’)
so YOU can’t come to ME,
wearing dress shoes, crew socks, no pants and a white tee
and when I give you “nice lies”
you act like you’re oblivous to sarcasm
like you didn’t know that you was gonna get drunk
if you drank every drink on the menu just because the bar has ‘em?
like you didn’t choose to wear those shoes
just because every Tom, Dick, Harry and Jamar has ‘em?
I should throw this arm at ‘em!!
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
THIS JUST IN!
THIS WAS IN!
THIS HAS BEEN IN!
GOD is the only judge
and just because we’re made in his image
doesn’t mean that we can do so
I hope that you go
and don’t spare feelings at the expense of not being labeled as “RUDE”
cause if ol’ girl or ol’ dude
is so bold to go
out on his own,
friends all at home,
make it to some A&R who shits on his craft
sends him back retracing his path,
the last thing they wanna hear is, “I told u so!”
I found this news most disturbing. Unkut.com did a poll on May 29th entitled “Who Is the Biggest Hipster Rap Douchbag”. Among the artist to choose from were The Cool Kids, Lil Mama, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Sister, M.I.A., N.E.R.D, Kidz In The Hall or all of the above. Most of the votes went to the caterory of ‘all of the above @ 23% w/ 188 votes’, followed by The Cool Kids @ 15% w/ 125 votes. Lil Mama followed next @15% w/ 122 votes, then Kanye West @11% w/ 92 votes, next Lupe @ 10% w/ 80 votes, then Kid Sister @9% w/ 76 votes, followed by M.I.A. @8% w/ 66 votes, then N.E.R.D @ 6% w/ 50 votes and ending with Kidz in The Hall @ 3% w/ 26 votes.
