And it begins...

According to the LA Times:
    
"The first bill up for a remake is the $10, as part of Treasury's 
 ongoing efforts to incorporate anti-counterfeiting technologies.
 With Hamilton's position secure, and with the Obama administration 
under pressure to add diversity to the currency, Lew's compromise 
is to replace a picture of the Treasury building on the back of the 
$10 with leaders of the suffrage movement — Sojourner Truth, 
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Lucretia Mott.

The back of the $5 bill will also be redesigned to include opera singer 
Marian Anderson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights 
leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Some historians believe the flood of new faces on American 
currency could mark a shift in attitudes toward role models.

“Andrew Jackson is what we used to think of as a great American hero,” said Brenda Stevenson, UCLA professor of history and African American studies. “He stood for the white, male political and economic elite, with great military honor associated with him. "

   So we are clearly preparing for the New World Order and one currency craze and all the other conspiracy theories YouTube will allow. "Smells like new money! Yay!"
We can finally put down our picket signs of racism and grab each other by the hand and sing Kumbya in unison. Finally, a break through.

In the words of G Herbo, "Don't talk to me if you ain't got them Tubmans!"

In the words of Tariq Nasheed, "We need to understand back handed compliments."

In my words, I'm gonna hold onto the current currency in a box underground because I smell bullshit.

 But lets take a look at the last statement.

Just the bold part to be clear.
HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE????
And guess what people...
She's A BLACK WOMAN!!

   I'm definitely throwing shade and offering seats because that's one clear example of a contradiction. She has to follow a curriculum mandated by the university thus giving a 101 lesson in black history to black students that probably aren't the majority in the class anyway. Black people should not have to pay tuition for an African American studies class. It should be one of those special accredited classes that look good on the transcript and even better in the pockets; FREE. Lets be honest, there's not a lot of black folk that utilizes independent study to learn about our history. Everything we've been taught since grade school blossomed into beliefs and rights we hold to a level of standard to adulthood.
   That is until we realized everything we learned was a damn lie. It wasn't until we learned there were 5 black presidents before George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln wasn't sent by God to free us, did we as black people begin to question everything around us. I'm reminded of a quote I'm sure founded by a Greek philosopher, "the more we begin to know, we realize we know nothing at all."
  It's like that old Brown Mackie University commercial that aired during daytime television, "I don't have a job because I didn't go to school. I didn't go to school because I had no money, I have no money because I don't have a job, I don't have a job because I didn't go to school!"

And the cycle of destruction and confusion continues on like that long ass Lamb Chops song that never fucking ended...

Ok.

Please. Be Aware of the Side Tracks.

To Grow Before its Too Late

      January 2016 was the beginning of change for me. I am 26 years old and still finding my way. I left a dead end job about a week ago and to say the least this process is not easy. Truth is I don't want a job. I don't want to work in a warehouse setting (which always have immediate openings) with long hours and a random point system. I don't want to commit to a "slave mentality, working for the white man" agenda. I don't want to become so reliant upon government assistance that a food stamp decrease for the month fucks up my mood, causes me to second guess the information I submitted, etcetera, etcetera.
    Have you ever purchased food with a snap card? Oh the humility! Imagine walking into a Whole Foods Store, Fresh Thyme Market or a Market Fresh for groceries. After you've realized the food is way better in terms of quality and spending next to Wal-Mart or a Krogers, you push your shit to check out just to whip out an EBT card?? Mind you, some locations DON'T EVEN ACCEPT IT, how will you feel with Mary Ann standing in line behind you and Rebecca at the register giving you the "wtf is that for a payment" face? I digress. Sure, who cares right? Am I giving them a reason to criticize me or should I be proud of a statistic that says something about white people being more dependent on food stamps than black people? Anyway, I have certainly taken a left turn. Maybe that should be the title of this one; "Be Aware of the Side Tracks." Lol. I actually like that.
     The purpose of this ... expose` of writing is to really pinpoint where I fucked up in life. There are many moments of expertise and precision where I built toward goals and created lasting relationships among people. I've had jobs that I didn't think would inspire growth at all that turned around to be the catalyst for some of my success. My pops always told me, "there has to be a balance between life and death, and good and evil because that is all that is out here."
    This is the beginning of finally turning over a new leaf: Memoirs of a Lyricist. My best friend and I are on a mission. He is my support, my backbone and the inspiration for what is to come. Stay tuned.
