"YOU CAN SPEND MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, OR EVEN MONTHS OVER-ANALYZING A SITUATION; TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, JUSTIFYING WHAT COULD’VE/ WOULD'VE HAPPENED... OR YOU CAN JUST LEAVE THE PIECES ON THE FLOOR AND MOVE THE FUCK ON."
— TUPAC SHAKUR

SO NOW I'M BASICALLY MORE SCARED OF PEOPLE THEN GUNS. I TRUST NO-ONE!! ~ TUPAC

…NOW RULE TWO IS A HARD ONE, WATCH FOR PHONIES
KEEP YO', ENEMIES CLOSE NIGGA, WATCH YO' HOMIES -TUPAC

MANY FOLKS JUDGE RAPPERS BASED ON APPEARANCES AND THE DIABOLICAL LYRICS USED IN THERE POETRY. ONE USE OF THE TERMS “NIGGER”, “BITCH”, “FUCK”, “SHIT”, “HOE”, ETC. AND THE RAPPER IS ALL MALICIOUS. THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE SO JUDGEMENTAL ARE ALSO JUST THAT CLOSED MINDED WHICH IN TURN MAKES THEM EVERY BIT OF IGNORANT.

TUPAC SHAKUR IS A RAPPER THAT HAS USED THE FIVE WORDS LISTED ABOVE AND THEN SOME, HOWEVER, EVERY SONG TUPAC CREATED HAD SOME TYPE OF LESSON TO BE LEARNED, AND JUST BECAUSE OF HIS DELIVERANCE MANY LISTENERS TUNE HIM OUT GIVING HIM LESS THAN A CHANCE TO BE HEARD. THIS ENTRY IS NOT SOLEY BASED ON TUPAC, BUT RATHER A FEW OF THE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED FROM HIM AFTER REALLY LEARNING TO LISTEN TO MORE THAN JUST A BEAT IN MUSIC.

WHEN 2011 CAME IN MY MIND BEGIN TO WONDER WHAT CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE TO ALLOW ME TO PROSPER. IT BECAME BRUTALLY CLEAR THAT EVERYONE SMILING IN MY FACE IS NOT A PRECIOUS JEWEL SENT FROM ABOVE. IN FACT, MANY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN I ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH ARE EITHER THORNS IN MY SIDE OR A CRUCIAL PART IN MY FAILURES AS A TRUE CHRISTIAN WOMAN. “…NOW RULE TWO IS A HARD ONE, WATCH FOR PHONIES KEEP YO', ENEMIES CLOSE NIGGA, WATCH YO' HOMIES”. THIS IS ANOTHER LESSON FROM TUPAC. MANY OF THE FOLKS AROUND ME BEING SO-CALLED FRIENDS ARE ONLY AROUND ME DURING TIMES OF RAINBOWS AND LUCKY LEPRCHAUNS, AND CAN’T BE FOUND WHEN STORM TROUBLES ME. MANY OF THEM ARE NOT LINGERING AROUND TO LEECH OFF OF MY MONETARY ASSETS, BUT RATHER TO GIVE ME THEIR “TWO-CENTS” HINDERING ME FROM BLESSING OR CAUSING MISCHIEF IN MARRIAGE, CAREER, ETC. I HAVE COME TO THE POINT THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT TUPAC WAS SPEAKING ABOUT WITH THE STATEMENT, “SO NOW I’M BASICALLY MORE SCARED OF PEOPLE THAN GUNS.” “I TRUST NO ONE”. ALTHOUGH HE MAY HAVE BEEN SPEAKING ON A MORE SEVERE LEVEL ABOUT ISSUES TAKING PLACE IN THE RAP GAME I CAN REALTE TO THE STATEMENS. GUNS DON’T KILL US, GUNS DON’T DESTROY US, WEAPONS CAN ONLY MOVE WHEN MOVED BY A SOMEONE. A GUN WILL ONLY GO OFF IF THE TRIGGER IS PULLED, A KNIFE WILL ONLY CUT IF PRESSED THROUGH THE OBJECT IN WHICH IT IS INTENDED TO CUT OR STAB. I’VE BEEN CUT ON THE WRIST, STABBED IN THE BACK, AND SHOT IN THE FACE TOO MANY TIMES. “A SOLDIER DIES BUT ONCE” ANOTHER ONE OF TUPAC SAYING ALLOWS ME TO REALIZE I AM A COWARD. I CONTIUE TO ALLOW THE SAME BS TO TRANSPIRE BY ALLOWING MYSELF TO ACCOMPANY THE SAME FLOCK OF BIRDS.  

"YOU CAN SPEND MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, OR EVEN MONTHS OVER-ANALYZING A SITUATION; TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, JUSTIFYING WHAT COULD’VE/ WOULD'VE HAPPENED... OR YOU CAN JUST LEAVE THE PIECES ON THE FLOOR AND MOVE THE FUCK ON." ANOTHER QUOTE BY TUPAC, ONE THAT MAY CAUSE THE IGNORANT SOUL TO CLOSE ITS EAR RATHER THAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND UNDERSTAND WHERE THE ARTIST WAS COMING FROM. I AM NO LONGER GOING TO TRY TO MEND THE ISSUES OR CONFRONT THE DEMONS. I AM NO LONGER GOING TO STRESS OVER THE “IF, AND, OR BUTS” OF SITUATIONS. CALL ME A COWARD BUT I AM GOING TO LEAVE SHIT TO STINK AND QUIT TRYING TO MASK IT WITH PERFUMES. I AM NOTHING LESS THAN A BEAUTIFUL DOVE INSIDE AND OUT, WHY SHOULD I BREAK BREAD WITH PIGEONS, CHICKENS, AND VOULTURES? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THEREFORE IT IS CONFUSING. WHY LIVE A LIFE FULL OF CONFUSION? I WILL NOT, IT IS EASY TO DO, BUT I REFUSE TO DO IT ANY LONGER.

MUCH GRATITUDE TO  PROFESSOR SHAKUR, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
