Original Post Title: "Don't Get it Twisted"
And as I posted this, "Waiting in Vain" by Bob Marley came on. Go figger.
However, as the subject suggests....
So I'm feeling this way.........for what...reason? So many could apply...nonetheless....
Before I post the lyrics to this song...it goes out to those facing these problems, those who have faced these problems alone, those who are facing them with resources to spare that apparently can't be reached and those with friends that are still facing them alone...

Every night
You wrote another line
With a bloody, broken, bottle
And every day
You wish it away
Why don't you pull the pin
On that grenade
You coddle
I wanted to believe
Bodies swinging from trees
Struggling to stand
With your head in your hands
A stoic last stand
Of a ...................dying man
I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win (I could win)
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand (.... you did not understand)
Every night
The questions poured out
Of your wounded eyes
Damn dark things
Every day
You used to pray
Listen to the black raven sing
You wanted to believe
As you were falling to your knees
Struggling to stand
With your life in your hand
The sad last stand
Of a broken man
I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand (you did not understand)
I wanted to believe
As I watch your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand
And the questions pour out
And the questions pour out
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
The sound of you falling
I did not understand
As the trembling heart of a man
Did not understand
The sound of a trembling heart
- Johnette Napolitano
...ahhhhhh fuck it
Why do I keep an outdated journal that hardly includes those that are still considered close friends? *sigh* Maybe, after my death, I'll be understood.
(parenthesis 2pac rap)
Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured
And just looked at the whole situation
Cause once u look at it (Once you really do)
You know
They don't give a fuck about us�
They don't give a fuck about us�
They don't give a fuck about us�
If I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody give a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
Some say niggaz is hard headed cause we love to trick
Equipped with game so we bang wit this thuggish shit
I see you trying to hide, Hoping that nobody don't notice
You must always remember you're still a member of the hopeless
*cuz we all a member if one of us a member*
See ya black like me, So you snap like me
When these devils try to plot, Trap our young black seeds
Look it, Cops are just as crooked as the niggas they chasin'
Lookin' for role models, Our father figures is bases
Some say they expect Illuminate take my body to sleep
Niggas at the party with they shotties, Just as rowdy as me
Before I flee computer chips, I gotta deal wit brothas flippin
I don't see no devils bleedin',
Only black blood drippin�
We can change, Whatcha now say?
I'm watchin niggaz work their lives out without pay (huh)
Whatever it takes to switch places wit the bustas on top
I'm bustin' shots make the world stop
They don't give a fuck about us�
And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Cause they don't give a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
[EDI]
It's the morning after and now all the laughter is gone
Time to reflect on what you did cause they saying you wrong
I'm sure you had your reasons dawg, I don't doubt you
See the simple fact of the matter is they don't give a fuck about you
Or them five mouths you forced to feed (uh-huh)
Not including yourself, All you want is wealth they perceiving it as greed
So as you loaded up that mack and continue to buck 'em
I was on paper, Thinking they don't give a fuck about us�
[Tupac]
I'm seeing it clearer
Hating the picture in the mirror
They claim we inferior
So why the fuck these devils fear ya?
I'm watching my nation die, genocide the cause
Expect a blood bath, The aftermath is y'alls
I told ya last album, we need help cause we dying
Give us a chance, help us advance cause we trying
Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust
And then they beg when my guns bust
They don't give a fuck about us
And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
[Kastro]
Now all my homies got love for me
Down to catch a slug for me
Guaranteed to bleed deeply
Now that's love, Shit
Nobody else could give a fuck
If I'm tore down, from the floor down
Six-feet deep in the cut
What the fuck done went wrong
How long will I be mourned?
When I'm gone, same song
Ain't gave a fuck all along
And who am I to blame �em?
Just do or die through the rainin'
Since they don't give a fuck
I don't� Feel what I'm saying?
[Kadafi]
Now thug niggaz die but multiply in doubles
Wrapped in plastic, Or closed casket for our troubles
Present times, We busted like bubbles
With the police, This nation's peace sent here to run you
Now look at what this crooked world has come to
I grew up on the other side of perfect, a life of hurtin'
Man I still hustle, so I'm dyin certain
So I spent your time in poor and working
I see no reason, So I stay ballin' season to season
Why you stuck thinking that they give a fuck?
[Napolean]
You tell me my world is in peace, but nigga your lying
Cause half of my niggas, long gone,
buried in the dirt just for trying
Sometimes I think my block is dying, And that it's awful
To wake up to another day, shit ain't change that awful
I wake up sweatin, dreamin, coughin�
Seein' me upside down backwards head twisted
While I'm layin in the coffin
The shit comes around so often, So tell me something
Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin'
Nigga I been so through pain go through the struggle
Doin the same thing you did at my age and that's hustlin
On the edge of straight bustin'
Well since you don't give a fuck, you frontin
And I'ma drink my Hennessey like it ain't nothin
[Tupac]
Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die
They don't give a fuck about us
While I'm kickin rhymes, getting to their children's minds
Now they give a fuck about us
They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try
They don't give a fuck about us
So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by
Cause they don't give a fuck about us
Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die
They don't give a fuck about us
While I'm kickin rhymes, getting to their children's minds
Now they give a fuck about us
They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try
They don't give a fuck about us
So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by
Cause they don't give a fuck about us�
Get your money nigga get your money!
Rise my nation rise
THey dont give a fuck about us...rise
get your asses on the right path nigga
they dont give afuck about us
get your money nigga get your money!
-2Pac
What's so sad is he's what's considered a "nigger" while the rest of ya'll try to stand for something and fall for nothing (props, GMB) Fuck it. Fuck LJ. This ain't ever gonna actually get no damn where until you make it public (stand for something...). What's so fucked up is what I have to say is what's gon eventually get me fucked up or killed or worse...but I'm tired of apologizing...I know what I believe and my views are strong enough for you to question them and come out stronger knowing something. And that's all I care about. So fuck ya'll that wanna bring up anything that has to do with my intelligence...I talk this way b/c that's what ya'll understand...want real talk? Talk to me for real, we can get into it. I'm done.
(ahhaaa and then they left another bit of gin and a half a handle of Marnier???? Yeeeahhhh. I guess even I coulda guessed this, but this is how it ends...)
