The Challenge...
Nigga Challenge....
I challenge yall cats to some real shit. You vs. you.
The rules are simple and if you can overcome and complete this challenge there are a number of things waiting for you in the end...
if I told you then this challenge would never be followed through without cutting corners so I will leave this for you to figure out. Niggaz love prizes in the end, gives em something to fight for. We don't need that...niggaz please.
Now challenge number 1. For the equivalent of 1 week all pants (this includes, jeans, khakis, dickies, church/formal, shorts, etc.) will be worn at the waist with a belt that matches, covering all undergarments.
Number 2. For the same week refrain from using the word fuck for anything else other than receiving some type of unnecessary pain, or bad mail.
Number 3. Refer to all baby mothers by their first name.
Number 4. Go back to the ways of old and handle your problems with fists and wit as opposed to guns.
Number 5. Never knocking a hustle, if you are on the block and don't know how to generate 50K by yourself, you have no need to be on the block anymore. Also see number 4.
Number 6. Sentences that begin with 'word to mutha' will no longer be taken seriously even with 'I put that on everything' in the end.
Number 7. Call your mom/dad and tell her it wasn't her fault you made the decisions you made.
Number 8. Learn the legal system BEFORE trying to fuck it for everything it's worth.
Number 9. Swallow your bullshit pride. See number 4.
Number 10. Love yourself, before trying to love someone else.
and with that your reward is simple. Number 1 brings character, not some fucking loser that would rather follow the next dummy. 2. Adds personality to that character, you have just developed a vocabulary that extends farther than who the next bitch is and what muthafucka owes you money. 3. Is the jump start to being the man your family wanted you to be, calling your child's mother "BM" "Dat Bitch" "...oh her??" is and should be dead, I can only imagine how many fools are ready to flip when they aren't recognized by their name when they are being 'daddy' for an hour or so. 4. Should be recognized by all the dead homies cats pour liqour for every year. I rather would see a group talking more about who got hit more as opposed to how they 'can't' really talk about something they did cause they don't trust their own crew enough to not snitch. That's ass backwards, go back to fighting. 5. Brings forth common sense in a complex world. 6. Piggybacks 1 and 2, those aren't ways to prove a point, I don't care if you work at McDonalds or Bristol Street. 7. Step up, be a man/woman and actually recognize that they didn't put a gun to your head and say do the dumb shit you do. 8. Another prize of common sense!!! Look two for 1!!! 9. Once again, this is a challenge...reward coming soon... and 10. If you don't want her, don't lie to her. If you want to keep her, don't downgrade her. If you don't love you, you have no idea how to love someone else.
Your reward is a little bit of a change for the better, and you helped out the community without even trying. Some niggaz think this is easy the real challenge is....
trying to tell the next nigga.

The Good Ol' 2 For 1 Deal...
The heavens underestimate my powerful eternal reign simple and plain my time on this earth from birth til the day I die is spent living for the lifetime instead of the moment. It was these same moments that gave me a chance to dance with death, in fact it was these same moments that I spent most of the time taking in my fate over in over in a last breath followed by short clips of life slide showing different times when I was at my finest.
All this as I look at and take in what should've been the end of me. Wink to the sky cause I know God's been good to me. So each day I'm alive I strive to become stronger, on the inside more so the outside holds up longer. Recognize my faults as exactly what they is. Mine. So in the end I can tell the people in the biz to step off only because it is my faults that only I can ride or die with by myself. Please keep your BS comments on the shelf right next to the 9 I rather go to the range with as opposed to giving to one of those kids so they can have an excuse to go and attempt make a man outta themselves. While some choose to stay fly and live to just die by getting high I rather stay fly while I enjoy this high I am feeling on life, cause to me anything else is bout as simple as the opposite of right
Trade in nothing because I feel like I've been blessed with life as a whole, no matter how many I create I have what I need to make my goals, Faith to the Father, Love from my mother, plenty of sisters and brothers and not to confuse but I am an only child, but that is just how blessed and unstressed I be. Taking each step made for me with authority, knowing that any step to the left or right can change the future almost as simple as turning the day into night, so I try to stay focused. See?
The paths so many each one to eternity, just the one that we all walk brings forth obstacles and adversity, and to overcome emotionally means to live your life thoroughly and looking back can only jack what you been trying to acheive the right way morally
the ability to be happy, and to exhale and be free and to decrease the ignorance that just can't allow you see how without the stress and the insecurities of the complex realities of our society doesn't at all have anything to do with the simplicities of enjoying the lifetime fruitfully
and all of this ain't nothing new to me, destined to define how decision determines destiny, and hopefully reach the distant derelects with distinguished diction so that this street game ain't consider the real but it's gains are all fiction. My mission is not to become a walking contridiction but a promonent dominant fixture in changing one's position living the lifetime instead of the moment and know the future is in the front so the path is ours we own it
walk your path for a lifetime and feel what you feel in your lifeline, and let your accomplishments determine what you want to be defined. You'll see so easily that it's who you are destined to be
I love this life that I'm living so simple...Simply "D"

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...
I wanted to but quite didn't
and for that some folks are smitten but the path for me was already written and for me to follow with a hollow mindset I soon forget that I had somewhere to be in the first place. You tend to make some lefts on the trail of the paper chase.
and not to diminish those who insist that this game of life be finished so soon
I been here never left but compared to the elephant in the room
I'm patiently waiting for high noon so I can step out the saloon and bring real life to those living in the cartoons...
and in the background the music coming in not a minute to soon
a whole new woooooorld...
exactly what it is , living life with no extra bullshit in the biz, to wake up and go to sleep without having to worry about ignorance breaking what has been acheived in between the rock and the hard place of life's decisions. The gifts from above stay gifts to the gifted no stress from the wicked as the fight for survival isn't a fight but a long dragged out process that takes a lifetime to achieve life's wishes
and there it is in the distance, adversity and resistance, doing whatever it takes to stop me from acheiving, whether it be hating or deleting those around me, I'm driven by obstacles trying to pound me, folks who try to down me, and with all that surrounding me it is my life's duty to stay grounded in the foundation so I can build eternally
to make the complex as simple as the simplicities around me, insist that I got this to extinguish insecurities and at last the masses have been reached the way it was meant to be
and through it all I stand tall simply put
Simply "D"

On Guard
For my Gma who's been there and done that. To my sister's Gma who's also done the same. I felt you and that's why I didn't get any tissue, it was all joy.
Don't yall go dying on us now ;)
Anyway, we did it. Yes America we finally got something right. Yet it doesn't stop there and yall know that. There's something we finally got and that was a voice. Use it to the fullest extent, and not to talk shit about how Michelle's hair looked or where she got her outfit from. I can only pray that my man can clean up 8 years of shit in bout' 2 cause if he don't then it's gonna start with the media and work it's way down. Stay on guard for the unhappy republicans. Yes they do work with you and will not take to kindly you rocking your "change is here" attire. They will have their "no bitch, shit is still the same here" attitude as they are telling you to take a day off to enjoy this.....unpaid. Stay on guard people.
I hope you youngun's heard the man say to pull your pants up. To think it's now the PRESIDENT talking to yall, so yes you are looked at too.
I'm starting to think Pennsylvania was a blue state coming since they got Ryan Howard on the Phillies knockin shit out the park. AND they won the World Series this year??? To them, and Virginia (which surprised me....no really it fucked with me) To Ohio (for getting it right finally) and to Cali for making it all interesting for a mere 10 minutes.
Most importantly, big nut grab and finger to FoxNews for trying to really cop out and sellout Palin the way yall did. (I watched that shit to see how they could really spin this in McCain's favor) To think yall were actually talking about the fucking 'white' man vote in VA was bad enough, to actually blame Palin for not being that big of an impact was even more fucked up. I mean HE picked HER- wait, what the hell am I giving them time on my shit for?
....1st shift, new day, more day to enjoy.....Sleeping.
I'm out yall be cool.

Early Morning Dinner...
"Chicken and Fries at 3? Good wit' me" - The SoD
Lights hovered all around a skyline missing something
the clouds attempted to overshadow a moon which caused mother nature to wink at us through dark blinds
the light green tree hugged by its leaf blew in the wind as the warm heat ran circles and made circles in my body
I didn't realize how hungry I was
Knew this day was coming and something just something said that it was going to go down...sorry I had a head start and watching the mudslide slide down took me to a place where I was so damn...
oooh what's the word? Haven't been there in awhile a keychain picture and a piece of me holds on to that smile caught up thinking about the last time we sat here just like this and the other times...there were so many and none were ever considered a memory, just constant reminders of what some consider lost...
sorry I was allergic to the sauce amongst other things
it was as if the years never went by you was still warm and I was still shy and as much as I tried to the chocolate tone of my skin couldn't mask the embarrassment of slipping out thoughts I shouldn't have been thinking out loud. There's several people who can look me in the eye and see my soul yet at a particular moment in our life you managed to see my soul and touch my heart at the same time, while eating chicken at that...
and to know this wasn't the first time
in fact to know it was the first time had blown my mind even though I spoke with my heart before giving you the chance to just tell me what was and yeah there was static but through somewhat sporadic communcation and failed attempts at trying to fix something never broken the rain did fall but my window stayed open and yours did too
confirmation that no matter how long the rain came and the pain from attempting to change life's game will soon end as the realization of real friends can actually mend the pieces of the heart without any surgery so easily my mistakes could have you ignoring me but your reception to my apoligy wasn't the only thing that floored me
obviously
chicken and fries...3am mudslides...what's next on the list? 24 hour Thai? Don't matter to me, just as long as you breathe, this isn't the last time....
no more years in between.

New York Shit....
" 'Yada, yada, yada......damn." - The SoD
Let me be clear. I am only a hater of the New York Yankees. My Gdad loves the Mets, GMa loves the Jets, and my dog gets quiet when the Knicks and Giants are playing. Moms is a fan of the team I hate, so you can say I'm guilty by association. Besides. I'm from West Mass, which makes us a bit more social to the New York scene as opposed to Boston. So once again I had to tell cats that I'm not from the Bean. They got it, they could tell by my lack of an accent.
Anyway, I hit up the City this past weekend. (Big I'm sorry to J* in Philly and M* in Deleware, I got yall don't worry) Although I went on short notice, still it was all it should've been. I didn't have much traffic so I breezed through CT easy. Once I crossed the Whitestone, it was a wrap.
Hello Brooklyn...howyadoin?
Hennessy? Check. Broccoli? Check. My peoples? Check. The Hood? All around me, check. Much love to the Brown Sugar club for providing the musical backdrop for my visit. Shit was rocking, and yeah I have to say I enjoyed myself. Short time, I know. Still yet though, next time mo' henney and mo' broccoli. One of the people's that I kicked it with was NY's finest. K*, I'll be mo' prepared next time, that's my word. It is going down. JZ*, thanks for having me. We WILL do it again. Love the view on the rooftop, I can see many of saturdays spent just looking at sunsets and skylines. That is the shit. For real.
The trip wasn't over with that visit. Made my way towards the Fulton Ave area where I got with someone who I haven't seen in close to 10 years. (Couldn't let that happen again) Anyway, we both had alot to talk about and still I don't think that we got it all out just yet. With that said like the last paragraph, we will do it again. KB*, it's good that you and I are still as close as we always were. I know for damn sure we gon hit that spot up again where we ate, only this time I'm eating too. You can thank the good ol folks above for looking out for me with that plate. Goodness knows I needed to soak up all that Cognac.
I loved it, and will do it again in the future.
K* get your game up. We will collab on a track for fun.
Brooklyn Stand Up. Yall rep it well.
