"We too far gone to see what's important" - Miss Jenkins
You would think that you would hear a reason rather than an excuse
or that you could actually play the race card at the top of the deck
You would think that one of those shells actually belonged to the 'suspect'
or there was some hidden beef that will surface in the future
Justice has been castrated and it's remains draped on the necks of those
who uphold the 'law'
and they rock their chain faithfully while their bracelets finds wrists to secure themselves against
You would think that this was the best way to stop crime
Instead they ask why in the hood we draw lines to seperate us from them who all through time preyed on the weak of the mind only to find they were blind to the fact that we weren't the ones with the nightsticks and dogs
Just trying to live in the system who's foundation has been flawed
and the last time I checked, their primary is to serve and protect
and they demand my respect or else it's now shoot and forget?
So what if they were minorities?
Which can only mean is that common sense becomes obsolete to authority
Fuck black and white, fuck excuses, here's truth
We didn't paint the battle lines black
You police painted the shit blue.
RIP Sean Bell

"...If you think too hard on this, your head gon' explode." - Student
If I was really into politics like that I would ask whether or not the war going on was really in Iraq as opposed to every news channel that comes on. Hey Dems, put the gun away, take off the diaper and understand that in order for them to not look and treat us like shit, stop giving them shit to treat and look at us like. There, I said it.
Now in other shit, looks like the government is gon' come up with this polygamy bullshit. 400+ kids all in the hands of the State that's going to make hundreds of thousands of dollars putting them in the system. I can't and won't make any comments on their lifestyle simply because I don't fully understand it. Yet, I will say though it comes down to the simplest of truths:
"Fear of the unknown, brings ignorance"
Point blank, you don't know about someone yet you fear them, you are going to find out whatever you can to ensure they are out of your cypher, to eliminate any chance of understanding, one will cut corners to extinguish the situation at hand. By any means necessary. Sound familiar? Well ask the Black Panther Party, The Nation of Islam, Bloods and Crips, The KKK (Yeah I said it), Rappers, Women, and any sole person who would carry some form of impact or "I ain't about mainstream America" type attitude and instead of trying to understand where you are coming from, some would rather say fuck it and nip your whole belief by saying you aren't what we want so no we can't count you type shit. How's that for the land of the free?
Not to say that the Polygamist groups are right or wrong. What I'm saying is, America doesn't seem to like people on their own program. With wiretapping, DNA testing for any and everything, GPS on cars just for spying, you can't tell me all this shit is for national security. In America, I know what it felt like to have a life, now I feel like in order for me to have one I need to give my personal one up in advance so they don't THINK I'm going to do something, and if I did then they can actually tell me the last time I spit gum out my car window on my way to the RMV, ain't that a bitch? What sucks even more is that muh fuckas don't even have all their shit together and they've been working on the fly for years now. It is us who suffer through the whole shit, not because we want to, but the 'fear' of what can happen if you DON'T follow what the mainstream wants of you.
Almost sounds like a job I used to work at. The only time they want to talk is when you fuck up. Although in the beginning you asked for that policy book so you wouldn't fuck up, and you know your rights as an employee in case you fucked up. Yet, it's not available because of the 'fear'. I am not about corporate politics and made it clear numerous times that I'm not game to that bullshit. Still, don't tarnish my record because you 'fear' I'm going to corrupt your so called 'robots' that just say "ok" and get stepped on. Do the right thing, act like you know and make it convincing too. I will call you on your bullshit, and leave if there is no change feel me?
Some people think too much, I was one of those people. I overanalyze so I can understand all aspects of things. I simplified it by sealing shit with a KISS approach (Keep It Simple Stupid) it works, and you would be surprised that even in the worst and harshest of situations, that's all that's needed.
But don't think too hard though....your head just might explode.

Missed Free Throws
"...comes back to haunt ya in the end." - Bobby Knight
You work on em first when you learn how to shoot. Nevermind the lay-up, this is the predecessor of the jump shot. The one you just stand there and whatever you do beforehand (bend knees, rotate the ball in hand three times, wink to the camera, rub yo' nuts, smooth out waves, whatever) you let that ball go with enough confidence that it's going in. Your routine says so, the countless times you done the same thing over and over because it's the first thing you learn before you start jumping with the ball. You become fluent in your actions and once mastered, it's like breathing. You know what you are doing before you do it, then you forget that you are doing it until you think about it.....
and that's when the pressure builds, the sweat comes, and all that shit you thought you would remember has come with the baggage of whether or not you perfected it enough.
*clank*
You want to go back to basics, you want to put yourself in the position of when you were learning to have 300 straight after hitting 299. You remember being there and want to go back. There's just one thing....
you're in the game, but you miss and there's practice and nothing but. You make it and there's not only just practice, but a victory.
Not just for you, but others. You thought about hitting 300 and going for 500. Instead you went out there and played hard, not relying on the one thing that helped develop your form, your release, your coolness under pressure. Instead you relied on the muscles, the ups, the people telling you you got it going on. Your team is the shit, its your year anyway.
*clank*
and no matter what you went out there and busted your ass, you took it there and gave your body a thorough workout and then some. You told yourself that you could take the shots, but you wouldn't need em' cause you were up and didn't think the other team could take over, yet they knew that you didn't have it on the line, the one fundamental that got you there you let slip away for that moment. Maybe you did need those extra 200 that you let go, because at that point you would've realized that it does matter, and in the end it does justify the means.
Keep practicing the free throws in life simply because they're free. Your supposed to hit those.
slack up and you might blow it in the end
ain't that right Memphis? (damn you)
