members: abuelito Angel's good will (R.I.P.), Tijerina's throat, Malcolm's conviction, Lolita Lebron's power, abuelita's consejos and hugs, mom's relentless work ethic, my sister's search for enddependence, my brother's amazing hugs, Jazmin's (my wifey) love & good heart, my stepdad's hope 2 be a better man, and a desire 2 change da world... I just pray for daily strength to be able to combine all the gifts and blessings that so many amazing people have shared with me, and that I reflect the best of them as I walk onto my path.
Sounds Like: When anger reaches a boiling point. It will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable. (Now for what I am about) WE have reached a point in our collective histories where standing idly by is being part of the destruction of all our peoples. In our own way we must stand up and utilize the gifts that we have been given and bang 4 freedom.
