YOU GOTTA CRAWL BEFORE U BRAWL

GOD GRANT ME THE SERIENTY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE / THE WISDOM TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN / AND THE KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE---Remember the boy next door that played records all day, and at night kept you up with songs of his own? He left home one day and was never heard from again. He moved to the big city ..dID whatever it took to get him to sf. to invite you into his world. And I guess thats what it is, his world WhAT ive learned; a real education will not teach you to be the first..of anything. It will tell you to enjoy whatever you are doing, not for the result, but for the act itself. Just like a painter or a SKATER or a musician… You can paint in two ways. (1/)You can paint to compete with other painters; you want to be the greatest painter in the world, you want to be a Picasso or a Van Gogh. Then your painting will be second-rate, because your mind is not interested in painting itself; it is interested in being the first, the greatest painter in the world. You are not going deep into the art of painting. You are not enjoying it, you are only using it as a stepping-stone. You are on an ego trip, and the problem is that to really be a painter, (2/) YOU HAVE TO DROP THE EGO COMPLETELY. To really be a true painter, the ego has to be put aside. Only then can existence flow through you. Only then can your hands and your fingers and your brush be used as vehicles. Only then can something of superb beauty be born. Something original in style, form, or matter. Real beauty is never created by you but only through you. Existence flows; you become only a passage. You allow it to happen, that’s all; you don’t hinder it.But if you are too interested in the result, the ultimate result– that you have to become famous, that you have to be the best painter in the world, that you have to defeat all other painters hitherto– then your interest is not in painting; painting is secondary. And of course, with a secondary interest in painting you can’t paint something original; it will be ordinary.Ego cannot bring anything extraordinary into the world; the extraordinary comes only through egolessness. And so is the case with the musician and the skater. So is the case with everybody.I found a way to get piece of mind for years And left the hell alone, turn a deaf ear to the cellular phone Send me a letter, or better, we could see each other in real life Just so you could feel me like a steel knife At least so you could see the white of they eyes Bright wit surprise, once they finish spittin lies Asssociates, is your boys, your girls, bitches, niggaz, homies? close, but really don't know me Mom, dad, comrade, peeps, brothers, sisters, duns, dunnies Some come around when they need some money Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies Fam be around whether you paid or bummy You could either ignore this advice, or take it from me Be too nice and people take you for a dummy So nowadays he ain't so friendly Actually they wouldn't even made a worthy enemy Read the signs: no feeding the baboon Seein as how they got ya back bleeding from the stab wounds Ya'll know the dance, they smile in ya face, ya'll know the glance Try ta put 'em on, they blow the chance Never let your so-called mans know ya plans (Whodini: How many of us have them?)….a show of hands (Whodini: FRIENDS!) Is a term some people use loosely I'm real choosy on what I choose to let crews see You telling me, I try ta act broke Jealousy, the number one killer among black folk Fellas be under some type a spell, like crack smoke Ghetto cinderellas, lead 'em right to your stack loc Just another way a chick'll lead to your end I check the dictionary for the meanin of Friends It said: Person, one who likes to socialize with Sympathise and help her, and that's about the size of it Most of the time these attributes is one-sided To bolster the crime, they apt to shoot you through your eyelid And they can't hide it, goin wild like a white bitch Sometimes ya need to cut niggaz off like a light switch ....................................................
