Silence and Music..




Moment of honesty: I wish I could sing...
word of mouth is (my mouth) I have a beautiful mind...
actually he (Rya
n) says I do...
he says my mind is one of the most beautiful things about me but, he's scared of it at the same time.

I dont wonder why. I know why. My mind seems so distinct and when I think, I go into a world full of words and I come out with a world full of ideas and as each second goes by my obsessions begins to grow as if I could only convince myself that I can create something out of all of my "ideas"... I drift into deep thought such as "love" and "kindness", "hatred" basically "emotion"... If I turned my thoughts into a song it would be extraordinarily deep.


Silence and Music. Silence and music are the only two things that make me think* sometimes the silence comes from a statement that someone may say that would throw me off and I end up drifting into some place that I live alone and only I can
understand; me.
Music.. Music can be deep. All depending on what you think music really is. I think it takes so much
soul to make what I would consider a great song...

One of my favorite artists is Lauryn Hill.
She's titan to real hip-hop and poetry. Her songs move me and challenge me to think... think about good things other than the usual money, sex and drugs. Pleasures of the world that only last momentary. Sorry... Im drifting....

One of my favorite songs; "Just like the water".... its pure.
ENJOY FAM.


"Just Like Water"

[Verse 1]
Moving down the streams of my lifetime
Pulls the fascination in my sleeve
Cooling off the fire of my longing
Boiling off my cold within his heat
Melting down the walls of inhibition
Evaporating all of my fears
Baptizing me into complete submission
Dissolving my condition with his tears

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Verse 2]
Coursing through my senses, he's prevailing
Floating through the space of my design
Drowning me to find my inside sailing
Drinking in the mainstream of his mind
Filling up the cup of my emotions
Spilling over into all I do
If I only I could get lost in his ocean
Surviving on the thought of loving you

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water, the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Verse 3]
Bathing in the fountain of his essence
He causes my expression to remain
Humbled on a mountain by his presence
Washing my intentions with his name
Sealing off the floodgates of his passions
Saving all his liquid for his own
Moisturizing me to satisfaction
In my imagination? No no!
He's pouring out his soul to me for hours and hours
Drawing out my nature with his hands
Yearning I'm so thirsty for his power
Burning to be worthy of his land

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Ad Libs Remainder]
Cleaning me
He's purging me
And moving me around
He's bathing me
And he's claiming me
And moving me around
Around and around and around
And around
Watching me, claiming me
Moving me around
He's purging me
He's been cleaning me
And moving me around
And around
<3

aMUSing





Today he made me listen to about three songs from J-Cole

Hmm… J-Cole.. I dont listen to him; he’s the “unfamiliar”. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed when I listen to certain artists because their words are reckless and far too intense for me to enjoy. My “whole thing is” why listen to music when its not aMUSing?

So, anyways… he made me listen to it and I actually liked what the guy had to say. He talked about things that matter such as “losing your balance when a beautiful intellect is more entertaining than a physical beauty and he talks about darkness being bright… and he talks. It was enlightening to know that talent has a shadow of hope and actually has something to say; positive.

The other day I was in a line at Ross… and the line was kind of lengthy but nothing to die over… and this lady infront of me is huffing and puffing and she seems so irritated. So, she ask’s the guy thats infront of her if he is with the family that he is talking to that is conveniently right infront of him and he says “no ma’am go right ahead” and he was so nice and he was hugging his two daughters, it seems like he had a long day at work but he was genuinely happy. Anyways, the lady says “mucha gracias senior” as if the guy didnt speak english when he specifically told her to go right ahead.. and he went on to say “youre welcome its no problem, I understand its the holiday season and everyone is shopping and I’m in no rush… the world would be a better place if everyone would just cooperate with one another and treat eachother with love”. And I thought to myself, you know what… he’s right. If everyone would just show humility and show love then the world would be a better place.

words… words play a huge part in society. Words along with gesture. If I were to just listen to what you have to say and you would just listen to what I have to say and we can come to an understanding… there would be less pain and terror in the world.

I’ll listen to you, while you listen to what I’m saying to you while we listen with eachother and maybe everything will wound up being aMUSing….?
