martial - adj. inclined or disposed to war; warlike

arts - n. the principles or methods governing any craft or branch of learning

The Art of War. Martial arts. Get it? Yeah. lol I've decided I'm gettin back into shape. I got tired the other day after ONE game of basketball. I USED to be able to play all day and then bust out like 200 pushups. NOW I can only do barely 50 in one minute. I USED to be able to do more. My max is probably my body weight. It USED to be 165. I'm going to take Hopchido [dunno how to spell it] which is the art of using your opponents force against him kind of thing. Perfect for somone my size. Requires skill not strength which is what all of my athletic ability is based on. Skill. NOT natural athleticism. Werd. Also I am going to STUDY, not practice, the principles of Tae Kwon Do and Jujitsu, which is kicking and grappling.

Anyway, I had an epiphany. Well Sun Tzu says, "The ultimate goal of war is peace." So I compare his book to real life. If the ultimate goal for war is peace, then what is the ultimate goal of life? Life is a struggle as is war. Life is war. So we know what happens when a war is over depending on the victor. What happens after life? Who is the victor? If those questions are answred then what is the point of life? I mean I always thought you were supposed to enjoy life but people make it hard. So its true. Life's a bitch then you die. Hmph. So my epiphany was that we do things because we want to enjoy life. Mass confusion stirs in my head as I write this. Really though, in the end noone makes it out alive. Well life truly is a bitch, but right about now I am not lookin for a divorce cuz once I leave her she aint takin me back. No matter how bitchy she is, I'm stayin till she dumps me.

Today I was hangin with some people I know and they started going crazy with the limewire. So I started downloading all the songs where THEIR songs originated from. I hurt their feelings because they thought these people were smart enough to come up with shit by themselves. They were depressed. Like "Calabria" and "Stronger" and "Touch It". Yeah it put a smile to my face for some reason. And don't even get me started on what I did when they played Jay-Z. But yeah they had a small rim and I was dunkin like Lebron James. XD 'Twas fun.

Watch "The Professional". Classic. I love it. He is an assassin and he takes in a little girl who wants to be an assassin as well after her family was murdered by the DEA over a bad drug deal. It is a must-see movie. And the song at the end when the credits are shown, I MUST know what it is called.

Another classic. Beat Street. A movie about back in the day when hip-hop was beggining to form. Back when people aint shoot eachother to solve issues. They breakdanced, or dj'ed, or staight up outperformed the other person. Afrika Bambaataa's in it, along with old DJ's such as Jazzy Jay, and beatboxer's like Doug E. Fresh. It's just a movie that shows an age in which I wish we lived in now. meh.

There was SUPPOSED to be a video here. I'll fix it. Here is the link. Enjoy.

money over bullshit.

defined

bullshit - 1. Foolish, deceitful, or boastful language.
2. Something worthless, deceptive, or insincere.
3. Insolent talk or behavior.

Fuck the bullshit. This is my new motto. I used to like the "Fuck Tommorrow" motto which I adapted from Nas, but this "M.O.B.[S.]" one really makes sense. Fuck Tommorrow was in the same sense as live every day like it was your last. You know like "Yo we can hang out tommorrow.", I be like "Fuck Tommorow". But money over bullshit. For real, I'm done throwin away my life. I'm tryin to get acquainted with them dead presidents. I need a new job though. Preferably a 9-5 cuz my current occupation is not doing so good. Now all of a sudden I'm half drunk. ^_^ Anywho, moving on. So yeah bullshit, like females I guess. They only absorb from your wallet. Cuz nowadays it ain't about how good you treat her, it's the shit you buy her and the car you drive and shit. "Fuck who's the baddest, a person status depends on salary." Right? So get paid and get laid. I suppose. meh. It would be nice to find a good girl out there, but I guess those are extinct. meh. Also, fuck being too nice, too. Ain't noone gonna get you what you want in life but you, but that is irrelevant, I just been actin too Mr. Nice Guy-ish. Point is I gotta work on my plan to move out once July comes. It's my 18th birthday on the 18th of July and my mom already told me what she was getting me for my birthday. A suitcase to pack my shit in and a dollar for the bus. I'm sure I'll have my car by then. 5 bucks for gas then. That won't even get me that far. Here's a fun fact: You pay more for bottled water than for gas. People complain about gas prices but they support the war. Hello?? Doesn't anyone know what embargo means?? Cuz that is what is preventing us from getting oil. You can thank good ol' President Bush. Like father like son.

Good job America.

8 bars and I'm out.

Tryna figure out why is these current mc's wack

Got Rockets that shoot 22 straight like T-Mac

Not a rat, but still askin where the cheese at?

While these herbz is rockin fake ice like freeze tag

And I'm gunna redeem rap, cuz these magazine fags...

Is bout to get sonned like a mean dad

Ratchet is sick, and my magazine's bad

After that, his torso won't be visible like some kind of jean ad

If you wanna say "Skit wack, we nicer."

Don't say it over my shoulder like a backseat driver

Cuz nowadays Skit is makin it hard

I'm the Cingular that be raisin his bars

Niggaz talkin bout they aint gonna take all that

Runnin metal in his mouth, make his brace fall back

For these hoes, I got more wood than baseball bats

impression [im-presh-uhn]- 1. a strong effect produced on the intellect, feelings, conscience, etc.

I played basketball for reel today. I haven't played a real game for a while, but I was messing around in P.E. today and people's was like he nice. Obviously I'm nice. LMAO I'm probably varsity bound. However, they asked me if I wanted to play afterschool with them. Now I got there and these guys SUCKED. So I'm playing and I guess these guys rubbed off on me cuz' all of a sudden, I SUCKED. Go figure right? meh. Well I looked at it and I figured out why.

1. DO NOT PLAY BASKETBALL IN DUNKS!! They call em dunks but i cannot see how people can dunk in them or even play ball in em. or even RUN in em for that matter. My ankles are killing me.

2. Those guys hacked like no tommorrow.

3. It was a fullcourt but one side had double, the other had single rimmed. Guess which one my team had? HUGE disadvantage for ANYBODY

4. We picked a short team. They had an average height of like 7 feet and shit.

5. They called some bitch ass calls and cried about it.

The good thing was that I had some credit on the court. There were a few that knew what I really can do. But messing up like that on the court is like getting tongue twisted in front of a girl you been eyeing for a while and finnally got a chance to talk to her. I did pick my game up a little later on in the game but I still could've done better. However it is not over. Apparently what I went to was like some unerground event of basketball players, like Fight Club for b-ball I guess. So now I found my anti-drug. Yes, I am a basketball fanatic. Repeated, fanatic. Anywho, today re-taught me the toughest thing street ball can teach you.

The first impression is the last impression.

This is reely true for ball, but like I said, I already got my respect on that asphalt.

Here's something. When was it cool to fail your classes? Since when was it soooo fucking amusing to people that someone is so mentally incapable that they can't progress past one of the SIMPLEST education systems in the U.S. in Florida? How is that the guy that slacks and doesn't give a fuck about a class or gpa is the funniest nigga on the face of the planet??

Linda: Hey Ramon. What did you get on your report card?

Ramon: I got straight F's. Hahahahaha.

Linda: Oh Ramon. Your so funny. Hahahaha

Ramon: I don't care. Fuck school. Hahaha I'm rich and spoiled and my parents give me everything so fuck it.

Imma be laughing at Ramon when he's serving me my number 7 with extra pickles cuz he couldn't do some extra credit. How do these guys live with themselves? w.e

Education is the most important thing ever. period. I need not explain that.

I wanna give a special shout out to my number one fan Maria. Thank you for your support on this here blog. Your the best fan evveerrr!!!

defined

war -n. active hostility or contention; conflict; contest

I'm at war. War with the gov't, cops, and the "man" is irrelevant. War with yourself is always there. But war with pressure. My young years went by quicker than I expected. I'm starting to realize that tommorrow I am a man. Wow time flies. Sometimes I sit around and have nothing to do and I just think. Especially being locked up the only thing you have to do is think, aside from the interesting activities of sleeping on a concrete slab, eating nasty food, and then the excitement of later shitting it out with another dude in the cell. Well after much thinking, the realization of "I aint got but one life" sinks in. I spent my teenage years tryin to live like an adult and now I lost them years. I can't spend my adult years livin like a teen, so now I realized and truly understand that you only got ONE life to live. That is a scary thought.

I've fallen many times in my life. I fell when I started fighting in elementary school. Again when I started smoking in middle school, and again when I commited felonies in early high school. But it dont matter how many times you fall, its how quick you get back and how fast you keep moving. Problem is the more you fall the harder it is to get back up. And it is not because the more you fall, the weaker you get. In reality, the more you fall, you get stronger. It's rather because the more you fall, the harder the next fall's gunna be. Recently I fell real hard. Well I'm getting back up but it's hard. Way harder than I can explain. My social life is on hold and I could care less but still you wanna live your young life while your still young. meh. My love life is non-existent. Females are too shallow and the ones that I can actually see myself with just can't see themselves with me. meh. I gotta work my ass off, harder than others, for my education and this probation don't help. Stopped the smoking because I am finally starting to realize things. When the older dudes tell you shit its because they been there done that. I've also realized it's become a cycle. All my life people telling me not to do this and that. I just sat there not listenin just nodding my head. Then when it hits me I finally realize they was right. It's like i can hear their voices. So when I get old and I give young dudes the same advice that was given to me will they react like me or will they listen? Did the people who tell me these things ignore the people who told them? In a sense, I'm convinced its a cycle. The message has to get across, but first I gotta help myself before I can help anyone else. The only thing I can do is warn.

Back to the war on pressure. The pressure is keeping me down. It is trying to prevent me from getting back up. Not pressure mentally or physically. Not even emotionally. Naturally. Well like I said, every time you fall, it is harder for you to get back up the next time. Well there has to be some kind of force, some type of resistance, some pressure that is preventing me from rising. It is obviously abstract. But it is strong. Doesn't necessarily mean that I am going to lose. I have resorted to books for guidance. Since I knew this was a war, what better book to get than The Art Of War By Sun Tzu. This man wrote this two and a half thousand years ago and its principles still apply today. However, I think he wrote this as a military subject. But the things he says, and many critics agree, can be used to combat all enemies, any enemies.

Well the quote I am keeping in mind is this:

Sun Tzu wrote, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not worry the outcome of a hundred battles."

I know the enemy. The enemy is what I have to do and what I gotta take care of to withstand the pressure. Problem is I'm still getting to know myself. Well I'm soaking in as much knowledge and wisdom as I can. I'm like a fuckin sponge, because I know this is the key to defeating my enemy. Knowledge of thy self and thy enemy. But there's one thing that I've learned that will really make anyone sharper and wiser.....

I've learned that I've got a lot to learn.

This man is actually good. He's very spiritually and artistically talented. His beats also express alot of his ideas and I like when artists can synchronize with their beats. It's beautiful. But the thing that really stood out on this album is that Lily Allen didn't wanna make me claw my eyes out with a spoon. Cuz I hate that bitch. But she really sounds nice in "Drivin' Me Wild". Big ups to Common.

P.S. Thanks Maria for puttin me on to him. =]

music soothes beasts. hip-hop soothes a healthy soul.

defined

music - 1. an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color

2. any sweet, pleasing, or harmonious sounds or sound

I'm feeling pretty good, but I'm not doing so good. I'm sick, missing school, and not getting anythin done. But I'm in a good mood. I'm in that hakuna matata mood. Been home sik as fuck for the past couple of days doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Fuck it, two tears in a bucket. It made the week go by pretty quickly but dam i got werk to catch up on in school. Two tears and bucket. Maybe three? Thank you. I gotta get anti-biotics which makes me feel old cuz it's the first time i've needed them. I'm generally a healthy dude. No major illnesses, allergies, or injuries in my past. Maybe mental. They did think I had ADHD when I was little, come to find out that I was too smart for school. I went from a mental patient to gifted child. XD LMAO Anyway, like most people, music soothes my soul. I could be bleeding from 58 gunshots to the face, but I hear Nas, I'm feelin good like a blunt on a Saturday. I don't like to criticize music but music is based soley on opinion. I don't like Soulja Boy or country music, but somebody does. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean it's horrible. It's just my taste. Me personally, I listen to anythin that sounds good. I'm picky about hip-hop, and a big rap critic. Rap, to me, is competitive hip-hop. So I guess that makes me a competitive hip-hop artist. Now, when I say I'm picky I mean I dislike hip-hop that makes no sense. Like when Plies says he's a goon and he lookin for a "bust-it baby" in EVERY FUCKING SONG!!! But I guess now a days you can sell things twice and rappers are all about money, not about their art. Ah, well. What can you do? However the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Now everywhere I look, someone wants to be a "Trapaholic" like Gucci, or a goon like Plies, or live a "Savage Life" like Boosie. This is the retarded impact that the music of today has on our society? And let's face it, music is a big part of society. Motherfuckers are all in Britney's and Micheal's life like its the most important thing on earth. I guess people are so bored with their own pathetic life that they gotta be in others? Anywho, competitive hip-hop artists of today are what I like to look at. Joe Budden (who is a motherfucking genius, by the way), Cassidy, Eminem, Ransom Dollars, Lloyd Banks. Just to name a few. Dudes who are getting there but not quite include Lil Wayne (sorry Weezy your too repetitive), Fabolous, J.R. Writer, Papoose are a couple.

The only thing I like better than rap, however, is old-school rap.hip-hop. Back when it was art. It grinds my gears when people listen to songs now a days and I tell them that they got that from someone else, and people are like, no they didn't. Makes me wanna uppercut them. Fergie's "Fergalicious" came from JJ Fad's "Supersonic". Jay-Z has bitten lyrics, not music ideas, actual lyrics from Tupac, Biggie, Big L, Snoop Dogg. Tribe Called Quest, and many more. T.I.'s "Why You Wanna" chorus came from A Tribe Called Quest and listen to Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman" and tell me if you hear a similarity. "I Get Money" by 50 Cent was sampled from Audio Two's "Top Billin'". People are running out of ideas and rappers are running out of punchlines. They either repeat themselves, come out with something original but stupid (Soulja Boy, DJ Unk, Franchise Boyz, etc.), or rap about something recent.




This is why I'd rather listen to classic hip-hop. Even 80's stuff like Newcleus, Jungle Brothers, Afrika Bambaataa, Public Enemy, Cool and The Gang, Herbie Hancock, and Grandmaster Flash. Down to the 90's. Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Eric B. and Rakim, Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh, Special Ed, Leaders Of The New School, Ultramagnetic MCs, Too Short, Run DMC, Nas, Large Proffesor, Pharcyde, LL Cool J, Audio Two, Big Daddy Kane, 2 Live Crew, Tag Team, Naughty By Nature, Black Sheep, Biz Markie, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Children Of The Corn (Big L, Murda Mase, Killa Cam, Kid Capri, Kool G Rap), Fat Boys, Heavy D, GangStarr, Geto Boys, Kool Moe Dee, Beatnuts, Whodini, Sugar Hill Gang, Onyx, Rahzell (The best beatboxer in the world), Tone Loc, Rob Bass, and DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince just to name a few. LOL I loooove old school hip-hop. Can you tell? Hardcore or gangsta (w/e people call it) rap was at it's best when it first came out. Tupac, Biggie, Big L, Nas, Jay-Z, Party Arty, Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Lox, Cormega, AZ, Lord Finesse, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Big Pun, N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, and of course Eminem in his eeaaaarly years which is much better than what he has been putting out recently.








Left: Midnight Marauders By A Tribe Called Quest, Right: Illmatic By Nas
Classic: This defines my taste in music. If I could sum up my taste in hip-hop, it would be with these two albums.



And now some "competitive" lyrics for a change.

Explodin with rage, holdin a gauge

Shit that can take ya "face-off" like Travolta and Cage

Split ya wig off, lookin like Britney, get hit swiftly
If these cows got beef, my cals is fifty

Niggaz know that I spit the better lines

Get rich off the whitegirl like Federline

Money on my mind, don't forget a dime

With that Tony Hawk hustle, cuz I shred n' grind

In a cypha I'll have ya hands up like a stick up

Herbz gettin Piston/pissed on while I get the Billups

If you battle me you'll choke like you got the hiccups

You know it takes more than a glass of water to get rid of

A vest? you needa protect ya neck like Wu-Tang

Flawless victory when im kickin it like Lui Keng

I'll finish you and the lame ass crew that you brang

Fatality is old, introduce em to new thangs???? eyedeekay

I'll work on this verse. I tried too hard. meh

In this pic: From left to right, Flame, Bam, Ferno, Weezy, Flako, and of course I. Man this pic is old but it brings back memories.

How is it that this world is at the point where it's at today? How are people this ignorant? It's come to the point where the president is an enemy. Years ago he was a hero. How is it that countries in the middle east go to war with eachother while America sits back and cry because they have no oil? No oil?!?! There's starving countries and you guy's are worried about oil?? Why is it that people say the government lies when it comes to certain things but they believe the government when it comes to others? If you ask me that's kind of hippocritical. For instance, Bush tries to condone the nation by saying Iran has weapon's of mass destruction or as he likes to say "chemical or 'nuc-u-lar' potential" and people react with "He is scared they will help Iraq." OK. So your government lies to you eh? How 'bout when your government says that gangs are deadly and they want to kill you and rob you and sell drugs? You believe that. Crips were started as a young group of boys who wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Black Panthers. Black P. Stones as well. Even when they converted to El Rukn. Jeff Fort was but a teenager but it's his youthful rebelliousness that allowed him to see the bullshit. Tookie as well. See older people can't see it because that's what they are used to. It's what they were taught and they don't know anything else. It didn't occur to them that anything was wrong because society wasn't as outspoken as it is now. But those young leaders had a vision and because they were a threat to the government, the propaganda brainwashed everybody like it always does and made us the step-child of political parties. That's right, I said us. I am an Almighty Latin King and screamin it till the world blow. But I haven't killed anyone nor am I someone people should be afraid of. A lion does not strike unless provoked. So like most kings, I do not bother anyone unless someone bothers me. Kinda sounds familiar eh?

Why did the towers get bombed? Well it goes back to the first Gulf War. Iraq invaded Kuwait and since Kuwait was the U.S.'s "allies", they stepped in. This was a U.N. decision, but mostly U.S. When asked,"Why don't we just mind our business?" the reply was,"We have interests in Kuwait." Now when you look at Kuwait and see that at the time they were holding roughly 100.000.000.000 oil barrels....you catch my drift now, huh? That's what Iraq was after. The problem was so was the U.S. You can almost compare this to a gang fighting another gang over drug territory because, according to the media, that's what we do. So Saddam decided to do a little drive by on the towers. He said you fuck with my money, I fuck with yours. I doubt he cared wether he killed hundreds or not. He wanted to attack the U.S.'s wallet. Hello??? World Trade Center!!!! So wether it's a gang war or a war between countries, it's still war!!! And most of the same principles apply.

So I think it's safe to say that a country itself is a well developed gang with more people, money, weapons, and war. Don't forget more war. And more killing. Waaay more killing. But this is what we get for living by Social Darwinism. Survival of the fittest, right? So when the media attacks us and says we're a gang, I don't get offended. Because we are not a gang. Just an underdeveloped country or nation. And if you wanna get technical and say that the dictionary defines us as a gang thn we might be a gang but so are the police. If you ask an officer if he's in a gang he'll say yeah. So when you call the cops, your asking a gang for help. Just like small businesses pay the mob for protection. Only difference is that according to them, it's "illegal". So this all boils down to what I was saying about the older/younger people thing. It all depends on how you was taught. If you were born and someone told you that the sky was green and that's all you know, then you will believe that the sky is green. Not only that but you will get offended if they told you that the sky was blue. Because it goes against everything you know and was taught. People aren't born with the belief of Jesus Christ, Yahveh, Allah, Buddah, or anything else in between. They are taught. So what the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation believes in isn't wrong, it was just taught to people as a negative influence on society. Propaganda people! It's blasphemy. So if you take out drugs and put in goods, all the goals and characteristics of the U.S. are similiar to "gangs". Freedom, imperialism or territory, money, religious beliefs, political, etc. So look at the definition of gang and tell me that the countries don't kill eachother because of the color of a flag or a person's skin or any of the above listed, are not gangs. Democrats and Republicans, gangs. United Nations, gang. Colonist and Indians, gangs. United States and Iraq, gangs. Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, can be defined as gang, but I'm still going with economically underdeveloped nation. So why can't people distinguish between the little and the bigger picture? I'm still looking for an answer to that question and fight for the quest for peace, freedom, truth, and justice. My nation, ALK that is, has withstood some brutality. Physically, socially, and politically. So when you ask me my political view I simply reply,"I have none." Because what I have is a belief. A belief that one day "gangbanging" will come to an end.

king (kĭng) n. - One that is supreme or preeminent in a particular group, category, or sphere.

Heres a couple of things I hate.

1. Assumptions. If you don't know, don't assume. Some guy got killed by a black dude in Parramore. People assume it was drug related. What the fuck?? What if that guy was on his way to kill the president and the black guy stopped him the only way he could? If that was the case, that man is a hero. A real life example. I decided to be social in my school and people asked me why I had dissappeared. So I told them SOME of the shit I did. We had an interesting conversation and today a girl asked me to point her in the direction of someone who was selling. During school? An assumption and a half right there. I told her are you assuming? She said yeah. It really pisses me off. True story. A guy, I believe in New York, started beating and robbing a girl in broad daylight in front of an entire neighborhood. There were people in their houses and they all sat and witnessed it. However, the police never came. The guy noticed this and instead of running, he continued to beat her and take more things, jewelry, etc. Finally, he got everything he wanted and left. The police never came. Now according to the article, over 200 people witnessed the event. Yet, the police never came. Why? Because everyone ASSUMED that someone else was going to call the cops. Assumption can be deadly. Facts are beautiful.

2. Gossip. People don't realize how words can hust someone. Really. Especially the ones they don't hear. Check this. Billy says he fucked Jane. Now Billy's friends in the locker room think Jane is ho, but little do they know Jane is in love with Billy and thought she could win his love with sex. (Which is very wrong by the way) But now she's a ho. Billy's friends tell everyone and word travels and now Jane realizes that she is only locker room talk to Billy. She is heart broken. But the big dangers of gossiping is that gossiping leads to assumptions. Frankie told Dave that Justin is snitching, they turn around and murk him. Frankie was jealous that Justin was getting Dave's attention and not his. Which in turn fucked with his money. Translated into "normal" life. Sally tells her big brother Jimmy that Kevin hit her. Sally is pregnant by Kevin but is lusting for another guy so she finds a way to fuck him over. Jimmy assumes and kills Kevin. Cuz I would kill a nigga too if he hit my little sister. BUT I would find out first.

3. Girls with a pricetag on them. Because if a girl can be bought...she belongs on OBT.

4. Ignorance/Arrogance. 'Nuff said. I'll harp on that later.

Just a lil bit of the shit that reely pisses me off. Don't mind me. I'm in a reely pissy mood today.

schiz·o·phren·ic [skit-suh-fren-ik] - Also called dementia praecox, a severe mental disorder characterized by some, but not necessarily all, of the following features: emotional blunting, intellectual deterioration, social isolation, disorganized speech and behavior, delusions, and hallucinations.

People always ask me why they call me Skit. Pretty much everyone calls me Skit. If you call me Hector its because I don't want you to call me Skit or you are my blood family. Skit was a name given to me because of my old behavior. I was rather calm but push the right buttons and you would've thought I was a different person. It didn't necessarily mean that you had to get me mad, just the right mood and it's a new person. No, I'm not diagnosed with schizophrenia, it's just a name. Just like my brother BamBam. He is comparing hisself to the Flintstones character. Small but strong. And I didn't pick the name, it was given to me way back when.

Graffitti on subways, shootouts on somedays

Police swarmin' but we flee the scene someway

That's the New York scene from Monday to Sunday

Hold toasters for the bread cuz we don't want the "crumb" pay

People caught up trying to find the "Al Quada" (kay-duh)

What about Pac's killer, he was shot in Vegas

Fuck the mayor, debators, and all the deviators

They hate us and spend their life tryin to break us

But little do they know they are our true creators

It came from brute force and shit that they pay us

The root of evil they say is money

Here's a contradiction I find kind of funny

How come is it everytime I'm broke

The most evilest notions in my mind are provoked

And if he got a badge he think's we a joke

The beretta on his waist must be an ego stroke

Corruption can be a very dirty trait

But I wash it all up with a clean .38

A style thats unprecedented, self-invented

The gift of gab has never been better implemented

Even if I may never release a single

I'm still gunna stack my chips like pringles

Drink liquor with my crew and just mingle

Deteriate brain cells, just watch 'em dwindle

Everyone with a mic ain't an MC

Everyone with a smile ain't friendly

Intillectual rhymes but still grotesque

Quality/"Kwelity" rythm, guess that makes me most def/Mos Def

The last punch was kind of weak, but there's a method to my madness. Or a reason, whatever. I just finished watching "Be Kind, Rewind" with Jack Black and Mos Def, speak of the the devil, and it came to mind. Plus I've never used the word grotesque in any verse, so I tried. Cut me some slack. lol. It was actually a good movie and I knew it as soon as I saw the preview. Funny thing was besides us, my fams, there was some white couple. XD But if you get the chance, def see thie movie. Haven't laughed this hard since I first started watching Family Guy.

Intro

defined

lyr'i*cal - adj. expressing great rapture or great enthusiasm

don - n. [[Sp < L dominus, master]] Sir; Mr.: a Spanish title of respect

A good friend suggested I do this and I guess this will be my new rhyme book. My rhymes express shit I been through, am going through, or will go through. My rhymes basically reflect my life if you can decipher them. It's like a lyrical diary you can say. This first verse was an about me I had on MySpace (myspace,com/kingskitkbglt360). It basically is what I've been through and a lil backround history.

The name chosen at birth was Hector Rivera
Tryin to make it alive in my teenage era
Born around the time Quest was askin "Can I Kick It?"
Our destiny is written, homeboy we don't pick it
I dream of livin in homes where the fences are picket
But currency's a show, and I need to buy a ticket
Native of the boogie, like Grandmaster Flash
The girlies got gassed wheneva I strolled past
Reminiscing on the days like Pete Rock
The fiends warming up to my sheet-rock
New school brother with an old school kick
Highschool mother with out full wic
Tired of rags, wanted the riches
Robberies and crime when the trigger finger itches
But that's in the past, cause I outlast
Brothers like Bam is success to my task
Thinkin with a mind that's money orientated

Envious niggas knowin they hate it
I'm screamin' "Fuck Tomorrow!", don't know if Ima make it...

Most men lives are borrowed, but me I had to take it!
Everyday is a new issue, but I never subscribed
It's like a sandstorm that never subsides
I done seen shit that'll make you rub eyes
'Pac wasn't kiddin when he sed thugs cry
Fast money is equivalent to Nirvana
Poverty makes niggas hungrier than pirhanas
"Life is funny", is what an old timer told me
I said,"How so, if the hood dies slowly?"
He said,"Just live a little. It'll show, b."
.....ight fo' sho', b
So after all the sins, fights, and GTA's
The weed puffin' till I couldnt breathe for dayz
Being the victim of many kunivin bitches
The abusive husbands whose good wives in stitches
Watchin as the white man thrives in riches
While the maze of the ghetto makes some dive in ditches
It occured to me what G was wisely statin
The men who jealously watchin, despisin n' hatin
Those souls are destined to afterlifes with satan
You may not understand the point I'm creatin
I'll leave it at, "Just live life, don't be a dummy"
One day you'll realize that life truly is funny...
