Can't Call it, it's the same ol' same/
Got me asking myself, "Is the World Gon' Change?/
Ain't knowing how the world got this way/
all I know is that we got to pray/
There's a lot at Stake/
Make futures possible, for The common folk, Yo let's dodge this rain/
can't get soaked, no joke, Grow feathers and fly like Planes/
can't be stopped by obstacles, got drive like Trains/
life blood flowing through our veins/
Stood in Line cuz I believed in the Game/
My family's got the right mindframe/
Me and my Sister and my cousins Voted for Obama/
but so did my Daddoo and my Mama/
did what we needed, got to business and researched the topics/
Health care, housing markets/
shame is normal people made themselves a target/
make fiscally wise decisions/
don't count on Congress to make the right provisions/
rabid chimps too busy politic'in/
to even straighten out our stimulus package/
so they divert the media to a cartoonist on abstract shit/
it's a shame, The President's still judged on his Blackness/
But Dead that, we gon' be proactive/
Stay Humble, stay grindin, and you'll see what happens/

Just a thought that popped into my head during my Daily Readings.... (Old Blog that I found)
Friday, November 03, 2006
Just a thought that popped into my head during my Daily Readings....
"It was not through the law that the promise was made to Abraham and his descendants that he would inherit the World, but through the righteousness that comes from Faith"--Romans 4:13
Please bear with me for saying this, but this all stems from me attending "All Saints Day" Mass @ my favorite church Our Lady of Wisdom in Lafayette Louisiana at 5:15pm on Wednesday, November 1st.....I know some of you are familiar with my animosity, better yet my displeasure towards certain self proclaimed Saints Fans I've encountered in my 25 years of being a fan (yes that makes me 4 when I started watching them and Bleeding Black & Gold)...You know, the ones that say they are Fans, ie Fanatics, ie will route on their team no matter what....skurrrrrrrch...Pump your breaks, cuz this is where my problem rests....They don't have Faith....they don't truly believe in their team no matter what....Or maybe they do have faith some of you might say, and I'll quote what I've heard from the people who's opinions I disagree with "they have faith that they'll find a way to fuck it up".....Woooowwwwwwww....that's all I've got to say to that one....Faith is usually coupled with a thing called positivity, or for that matter a positive mind frame that inherrent good will come from a situation, or even more so that whatever God's will is will be done and it will be for the overall good of the grand scheme of things.....Well, Good and PissPoor attitudes don't go together...sorry to be Debby Downer on this one, but honestly I've come to realize in my 29 years on this earth that more and more by each passing day there has been this rampent build up of Negative mind sets...People who just like to complain, who love to make someone unhappy, who can't enjoy a nice peaceful day and honestly that shit just Harshes my Mellow man.....I've noticed it more so lately working in a Casino for the past year and 2 months in the middle of BFE, but damn....Life is really good, or it would be if you put good into it....Maybe I'm the only person who's ever heard this phrase so I'm going to type it out right now "What you put into something is what you will recieve out of it"...I honestly don't think that can be clarified anymore than it already is....My challenge to all who read this, and that includes myself is to make the effort to put their best foot forward and emit the best vibe possible...Pay it forward so to speak for those of you who've seen that movie....Maybe it's overtly idealistic of me to think that people genuinely want to be happy but might not see the path to happiness or have been unhappy for so long that they can't see being happy as a better option....I might even be off base on this...yes I said it, I might be wrong, but through my thick headedness, I still feel that the more you stay positive the better your life will be....I'm not saying that every day you are alive that you will be in the best of moods, or something really shitty won't happen to you....I'm just suggesting that you look at the silver lining in the clouds, or maybe the smog depending on where your home is located in this world....Take a chance, more than trying it once saying "see I tried it and it didn't work".....Just take a chance trying to think on the lighter side for a good Week, and if possible try to stretch it to a Month....Feel free to email me, message me, or even blow up my comment section on my page...For those of you who have my digits, blow up my celly too...I'd love to know what people experience through this challenge...I honestly wish you all Good tidings and to only endure as little amounts of stress as your heart desires to take on....thanks for listening to my rambling thoughts as I typed it out in total stream of consciousness.....And to the people who I've either A. offended by this, B. will offend when it finally settles into the very anus of your brain, or C. Just don't like my writing style...I appologize for the inconvenience in advance, and I do mean that from the bottom of my heart even if it sounds sarcastic...Cuz Lord Knows I'm obnoxious like Immortal Technique, but this truly wasn't meant to offend.....
Much Love and Respect,
David

Wishin' for another Morning with you: (Old blog)
Wishin for another morning with you.... Category: Romance and Relationships
What made it change?/
7 days before you even came/
I thought we'd already made it out the rain/
the time I went out there we wuz going through the same thangs/
as I was leaving it was like we was sharing the same brain/
we were of the same mindset/
you cried because you wudn't ready for me to jet yet/
I can't lie, it was nice having you no longer upset/
but that's all retrospect/
New Years together was different/
wasn't like we was riffin/
but at the same time/
a peice of us was missin'/
Not something I'd have ever predicted/
without my intuition/
but then again/
I called it 2 weeks before that/
You swore that/
wasn't your thoughts isn't it odd?/
It's like I was countin all the cards/
saw what was coming before it happened/
I did my best/
told you how blessed I felt you made me/
Now I'm in the middle of addaptin/
feeling all crazy/
can't get mad at you, not like you really played me/
just made me see/
what mattered to me/
it was you, but I had to let my Baby be free/
You say I'm so terrific, so gifted and understanding/
but it's your deep feelings and your planning/
that's got you runnin scared/
got my cubbard bare/
except for the food I used/
to nourish you/
took you whatever, whenever, wherever you wanted to go/
even if I got no sleep/
it was worth it to me though/
cook you breakfeast every morning/
saw love in your eyes when you was yawning/
guess it was just the calm before the storming/
Now a new day is dawning/
guess I just hope I get another chance/
at a peaceful Sunday Morning/
with you/
you, you you/

When Fried Eggs Fly: (Another old blog I found)
When Fried Eggs Fly Current mood: discontent Category: Life
Of course like usual, I'm up way too late, or for some way too early...As per my usual course of action, I end up watching some obscure program on tv...This time in the middle, which is normally where I find programs, and I say the middle because these programs normally are never viewed again by me so I really can't discern the realistic placement of my viewing session....This time I saw a segment of video recording called "When Fried Eggs Fly"....
This Segment was about one individual teaching young students in a NYC school, P.S. 3 matter of fact, to learn how to play and compose music essentially....Through this process he achieves and accomplishes so many things that I commend him for, one being the ability to get children in the elementary stages of their fundamental learning to sit still....Another is to get these said students to sing in harmony, sing in Harmonious melody as well as syncapated time....It's funny because what it made me think of was work....These students were asked if he was mean or too strict....They were asked if his form of discipline was too harsh....With resounding and coherrent thought, each of the students interviewed said that it was neccessary to keep that discipline and to keep that regimented routine he implemented....At age 7 these children in New York city new more about what is necessary to achieve greatness than most coworkers I have at my current Job.....It's really sad but true in all honesty....Honestly, I was amazed at how well developed these children were for their age group...They understood simple concepts but could explain them in complex formats....One student went as far as to say at the end of his statement "after all, he knows better what he's doing than we do...."....if only people in the Casino trusted their bosses to show them the right path so freely....Better yet, if only my students aka my waitresses and cooks would understand that as a Sous Chef I am there to train them and teach them to work in accordance with the proper guidelines for a Great Dining Experience...What happens between 7 and 19-22? What happens between 1st grade and College that people think they know more than their superiors? It's a grevious wrong I tell you....Sometimes I feel like we are recieving a bunch of fried eggs that will never amount to what they want out of life because they don't have the forsight to allow someone of a learned station to teach them....They aren't that trusting or that understanding of what their role is.....One of my catch phrases that I use quite often is "Put down the excuses and pick up a Purpose"....another is "what you produce is an extention of who you are....Make sure it comes out to be what you want representing yourself".......These 7 year olds understood that, even their parents who joined in on the singing understood it, I just wish our employees sometimes would learn more...then again, Not all of the managers in our venue nor in our Casino are of the same mindset as my catch phrases...."Attitude reflects Leadership", yet another one of my catch phrases....and honestly other than myself and a few other low-end-of-the-totum-pole managers, Management isn't doing enough to supply the right attitude or discipline to these students....these employees are our students...We need to as a collective teach these kids the proper message....We need to be unified, and not just a few voices amongst the def.....

Same Ol' Sum
Vs. 1:
I used to believe/
Now I just feel like we're going in circles, but they aren't 360/
no longer complete/
funny how you managed to push yourself clean away from me/
See, I've come to the end of this street, end of the road/
Don't wanna deal with unecessary BS, nope, Hell no/
I feel it's my time to go, that doesn't mean I don't feel pulled back to you/
Just realize I can't keep doing the same things we do/
Expecting a different outcome/
adding up you and I gives the same ol' sum/
You haven't changed once, still giving me the same lines you state/
same time you save, the same time you break my heart, what else more is there left to say/
I'm starting to see the appeal in self Preserva-tion/
maybe I'm just a little less dumb/
I now see it's the same ol' sum/
....to be continued....

Can you Get Away?
Hook:
Hey baby can you get away
Can you get away with me?
there's so much goin on outside your dome
just come and roam with me
Vs.1
Hi there
You got a nice vibe there
I’ma lil’ shaky on your demeanor
but your eyes are so ecclectic
electric and enchanting
I bet you got all the fellas panting ‘round your way
I think they’ve wrote songs aboutcha
are you the Girl from impanema?
Nah?....Me either, but that should be evident
don’t take this the wrong way
I’ve never been a pimp
Maybe a person into making profits
that’s only provisions of paying rent
Girl you seem heaven sent, and I know that sounds cheezy
like you’ve heard it all before and you really don’t wanna believe me
but be easy!! I’m not trying to come off too strong
but you got those eyes you got are like a sentimental mood
mixed with bitches brew and could stir up my mood
on any given occassion
what kind of food do you like?
I can cook anything for ya from Cajun to asian
Cuisine’s not really my thing
just something I picked up along the way
Had to choose something to fall back on
Not trying to get my mack on
but this is what I got to say-say-say
Hook:
Vs.2
What are you up to?..About 5'9?
It’s all hood that’s fine, I know I’m only 5'7
but what’s two inches when it’s a spiritual connection
I know you can see it staring into my soul
girl ya so cold, but I’m antarctic too
You ever rode a bicycle that was built for 2?
I can’t say that I have either
hey this ain’t game, I’m just spittin truth
I don’t really have game
I know some people would tell you that that’s lame
but I can tell your feelin’ me
ain’t nobody as real as me
I can give you a vantage point of the propper gander
But before I go on and on like Erykah Badu
let’s get back to the subject of you
What do you want out of life?
Have past brother’s treated you right?
I know I could suffice and give you the world
at least I could carve you one out of a potato
and I’d never see you later
I’d see you as soon as I could girl
forget goin platinum, you’re golden
Priceless and God must have broke the Moldin’
Man your soul would keep a brother like me from roamin
I promise, you’d get all my play
so what I got to say, what I got to say
this is what I got to say-say-say
Hook:
Vs. 3
So where you gonna be around 9?
I think there’s a party goin on at 307
and I’d like to see you if that’s fine
Me and my boy’s gonna be there
but they got some dope leather sofa’s
oh yeah and an arm chair
just in case you would need your space
Don’t have to consider it a date
unless you‘d want to
We could go to Mel’s Diner or even Zeus
afterwards and get some bomb food
this is like a BG song, mannnnn, it’s all on you
it’s your world, I’m just livin in it
You the vegan type lovin some spinach
or do you prefer grape leaves?
I remember when I used to hate these
I like Ali Baba and the forty theives
Sorry had to slip in a BeastieBoy quote
but seriously some humus would be dope
get some hot pita bread and that’s all she wrote
we can have corduals for right now
see where it goes from there, if you really wanna get down
Pound for pound, I bet we’ll have a good time
get a couple French Connections
Girl you so beautiful
I hope this continues so we can view
where me and you would go
Matter of fact how it all would play
but all I got to say-say-say isssssss

Keep the Cypher going:
Vs.1:
I hate the fact, I have to acknowledge that you're gone//
The message you were giving, flat out was so strong//
we've known each other for so long//
souls on parrallel paths, since the day born//
at least it seems that way//
Nobody knew better than you to cease the Day//
Now here I am, getting a call from Andres//
telling me he doesn't know what to say//
that it's some hard news, he don't know how to convey it//
we were just making plans to open for you at Dragon's Den//
I lost more than a fellow emcee, I lost my friend//
In 2000 it was House of Blues with Kweli//
Recently it was Japan rockin' shows lettin the Records spin//
Nathan Woods to me,While to others you were just Bionik//
Regardless, w/no curses, your words were just honest//
Rare like Haley's Comet//
Old school like Super Sonic//
refreshing like Abita Springs//
Made people like me Believe//
we should follow our Dreams//
Dope Poet, Too ill for the Mainstream//
yet for them you'd Ghost Write//
The Lord's Humble Servant now sits on his Right//
I know they freestyling in Heaven tonight//
Just keep the Cypher going, Send us down your Insight//
And I'ma keep shining the LIght//
Keep shining the Light//
Keep Keep, keep shining the light//
....................................................
In Loving Memory of a friend who opened my eyes across the board on many levels...a person who made me realize HipHop wasn't just southern in the South...that a person like me, could have a voice in HipHop....Nathan Woods was a pioneer to me...He was an ambassador for HipHop as a whole, much less the noble State we are both from Louisiana...Nathan Woods aka Bionik Brown...I'm gonna miss you Son, but I will not forget...

P.S. when it's my time, I can't wait to see you again...Just keep the Mics on...
The message you were giving, flat out was so strong//
we've known each other for so long//
souls on parrallel paths, since the day born//
at least it seems that way//
Nobody knew better than you to cease the Day//
Now here I am, getting a call from Andres//
telling me he doesn't know what to say//
that it's some hard news, he don't know how to convey it//
we were just making plans to open for you at Dragon's Den//
I lost more than a fellow emcee, I lost my friend//
In 2000 it was House of Blues with Kweli//
Recently it was Japan rockin' shows lettin the Records spin//
Nathan Woods to me,While to others you were just Bionik//
Regardless, w/no curses, your words were just honest//
Rare like Haley's Comet//
Old school like Super Sonic//
refreshing like Abita Springs//
Made people like me Believe//
we should follow our Dreams//
Dope Poet, Too ill for the Mainstream//
yet for them you'd Ghost Write//
The Lord's Humble Servant now sits on his Right//
I know they freestyling in Heaven tonight//
Just keep the Cypher going, Send us down your Insight//
And I'ma keep shining the LIght//
Keep shining the Light//
Keep Keep, keep shining the light//

Vs. 2:
Could never picture you rhymeless, your lines are timeless things/
Feels like you're alive on my phone everytime it rings/
Mental Gems that shine past a diamonds gleam/
You even had a smile that blinged/
Emails kept me upright, they were a sunshines beams/
Yo, your word was a binding thing/
No wrinkles in your style, you were fresh Ironed and steamed/
Matching on 3 colors, You were vibrant clean/
No foulness ever crossed those lips/
Always positive Intent/
Heaven sent like some Inscents, as you inscensed/
Still aggressive when you needed to embody intense/
August 11th 2008 ain't that long ago, but I ain't been the same since/
I ain't been the same Bionik/
You caused me to change Bionik/
August 19th, 2008
Vs. 3:
Just woke, you came to me in a dream/
Sorta like Dreamer, when the baby's head blinged/
It was the craziest thing, I gave myself a fresh cut/
Was amped and ready to party like whut whut/
The whole crew was there, but I met you at the door/
First time in person, but it was like we'd met before/
when our eyes connected we smiled, mutual Love galore/
Happiness beamed, like it was flowing out our pores/
everything haulted, crawled to slowmo/
Ya'll was bumpin the homie from Detroit, One Belo/
"3rd George, I miss 'em in the worst way", dapped you up and it was good to go/
Party up like it's our, our Birthday, the list went something like this/
Quickie Mart, Brother Slymm, My Partners in The Congre'Gation, Yup Andino and M.Harris/
Impulss, Jimi Clever, Lyrikill, Digga Digga DJ Ef Cuttin/
Truth Universal made it Ofish/
He smiled as I dapped up KnowOne like this/
I was looking around like "is there something I missed?"/
Even Whygee in the building, illin' with Xperiment/
Group of all our Peirs, All ready to clown/
Diggin through the Crates, for the Cypher throwdown/
I woke up at this point happy, though it was a dream/
Cuz you gon' keep the Cypher going and we'll keep doing our thing/

How fitting that the first thing I truly write in February would be about Bionik...
