I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.

I remember back in the day when Chuck D called hip-hop the black people's CNN. Well now, hip-hop is more like Fox News. It's biased, and highly suspect.

If you're just addressing your own emotions and challenging yourself to find some sort of harmonious sense of being in life and questioning authority and questioning what's given and questioning what's expected of you, you're already on the cusp of finding something in yourself, and maybe waking something in somebody else.

Сommercial hip-hop is not youth rebellion, not when the heroes of hip-hop like Puffy are taking pictures with Donald Trump and the heroes of capitalism - you know that's not rebellion. That's not the street - that's Wall Street.

I surrendered my beliefs and found myself at the tree of life injecting my story into the veins of leaves only to find that stories like forests are subject to seasons
