RENT

Me in NYC getting ready to hit the streets!!

A few years ago I had the chance to spend a summer in Ithaca, New York! During my stay there I took many trips to NYC! I had the opportunity of catching Rent on Broadway; to my surpise the play was wonderful. I don't know if it was real good, because of my low expectations, or because of its genuine quality. Anyhow, after all these years, the industry has decided to make the play into a Movie which will be in theaters in mid November! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how it is compared to the play. I know what people say about the adaptation of books to films, generally they don't translate as well! Hopefully, the same won't be said about Rent the movie!

Perhaps I was blind to the facts, stabbed in the back
I couldn't trust my own homies just a bunch a dirty rats
Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed
And hocus pocus try to focus but I can't see
And in my mind I'ma blind man doin time
Look to my future cause my past, is all behind me
Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin tell me what's the use of tryin
I've been Trapped since birth, cautious, cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But, it's my own kind doin all the killin here
I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make em wish I died
Oh my Lord, tell me what I'm livin for
Everybody's droppin got me knockin on heaven's door
And all my memories, of seein brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts don't get caught up in the mix
Cause the media is full of dirty tricks
Only God can judge me

MORE THAN JUST A BEAT

December 07, 2005

It was more than a tragedy
Emotions be grabbin' me
Plane fell from the sky
We tryin' to figure what happened
Burnin' churches, fearin' God
Who can be so cruel
We all ignorant to AIDS
Till it happens to you
Just be a man, make plans
Listen to your voice
A woman's tryin' to make decisions
We should leave them a choice
Cause who are we to say who lives and die
Breathes and stops
All this judgement on other lives
Needs to stop
What are we livin' for
Givin' more back than takin'
On my knees still waitin' for my own salvation
Now I feel abandoned
cause Pat Bucanan say I'm greedy
You can take my taxes, send me to war
But can't feed me
It's so easy to regret things
After they done
Babies catchin' murder cases
Scared to laugh in the sun
The tragedies that we all need
Love in doses
In times like these we feel closest
The good die young

Does anybody have an answer why
It seems the good die young
Can anybody tell me why
Can anybody tell me why

"The Good Die Young"

Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore
Got me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screaming
Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being
So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day
Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape
Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die
Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns
Smoking weed, can all make a change
So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold,
I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe,
Communities in need of people that will lead
Keep your eyes open, I can only say I'll try
Until the day I die, I promise to be wise
With my heart open, greed, brings only misery
A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free
Only a few chosen, rise (rise)
My ghetto queen, rise (rise)
Don't be afraid to try (try)
Too many of us died to the door to open wide
My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize
Though everybody dies
We can...

Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts
In this society where only gettin the cash counts
I started out as a beginner
Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner
I make my money and vacate, evade prison
Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven
And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside
You know,
it's like I'm livin just to die
I fall on my knees and beg for mercy,
not knowin if I'm worthy
Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me
So I'm askin --
before I lay me down to sleep
Before you judge me,
look at all the shit you did to me,
my misery
I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
In my search for fame will I change?
I'm askin
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God,
blessed and still breathin
And even though it's hard,
that's who I believe in
Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin
- who do you believe in?

Tupac Shakur "Who Do you Believe in?"

With all this extra stressin
The question I wonder is after death,
after my last breath
When will I finaly get to rest?
Through this supression
they punish the people that's askin questions
And those that possess,
steal from the ones without possesions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even the genius asks-es questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change,
keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best,
don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreamin of riches,
in a position of makin a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, if the fame made a brother change
It wasn't nuttin like the game
It's just me against the world
