WITHOUT STRUGGLE THERE IS NO PROGRESS

About Me


This profile was edited with mywickedspace.com Editor
It all started in a small town called Punta Gorda, but is better known to us (my folk) as PG. Now it's known as the town where Hurricane Charlie touched down. There was never much going on in the hood coming up as a young buck, except for the sound of a few gun shots here and there, but nothing too serious. I had my mind made up by the age of twelve that this place was not for me. My folk Nuttso, Woodz, Slim, Tanalyziea, MP, Greg, and D Bo always down to ride if I needed them no matter what the business was. We would fish when times were good and fight when times were good. If times got bad we would come up with ways to make them right ride down on the white boys that lived on the rich part of town until everybody had a new bike after x mas. Yes we were foolish at times thats how times were though we would rap day in day out with the mic hanging from the fan that MP cut the wires off so the light could be on at night when we was rapping without the fan dust flying in our eyes lol. We would rap and sing about anything from soul food to fighting in the hood. The only thing I ever did well was rapping and fighting. I never sold dope or ran the streets with a pistol, but I was respected because I was never scared to stand my ground in a fight, and to this day it still does not take much for me to swing. Don't misunderstand me am not proud of my ignorant decisions, just like anyone else I still make mistakes. I have seen people come and go from the jailhouse. I have seen people smoking crack and shooting up, doing practically anything to ease their physical or mental pain. I use to swang if the next person looked at me wrong I had the whole works pants falling off my butt gold teeths in mouth but I learned real fast that if the dentist didnt takem out then I was going to get them knocked out by another person running the streets thinking he was superman just like me. I never had a father or mother around while I was growing up. They were too young, and I guess free-minded to raise me. That where Martin and Ruby Robinson (grandparents) come in. They taught me all the rights and wrongs. They always told me you have a brain, use it. So, by the time I got into high school I began to read every other night. Reading was the first step to getting out the hole that I was raised in, around this time in my life I was focused on all the wrong things in life I was cool so it didnt matter until I lost my brotha to the dope game and living the fast life. You see I knew I could make it without my momma why because there was grand mom and pops if things hit the fan. But I couldnt take living in the hole without my side kick my brotha he got caught up in a lot of wrong things at a young age and to this day still struggling. I was so stressed nobody to talk to so I grabbed my pen and pad and started getting into poetry anything to keep me standing strong I did a lot of things but never dope why because it was to risky I already was hooked on other things outside of killing me slowly. One day a friend of mine picked up my pad and some of things he read really left him speechless and that day opened another chapter in my life. I started writing about the police in the hole and how they mistreated black folk everyday it was something new everyday somebody getting stop because people in there family didn't take timeout to wave to the police when they pass by. If I got a dollar for every time I was searched coming up then there wouldn't have been any need for college. I barely made it out but I did with the lords help and my grandmother on the other end you see it didn't take much for me to read about my people and see how far we have come but to go in class full of white folk most likely down the line who had a grand father or a grand mother that wouldn't mine hanging my folk at the snap of a finger was a problem. I knew I was on my own when my brotha got locked up but it didn't click in my head until I was out in the world alone hopeless at first until my brothas came through YB and Hen put my mind at ease. Being in school made me want to know even more about black folk so I stayed in the book store but I was under cover with it because I didn't feel my brothas would understand. All of us continued working with music nothing changed day in day out ran into trouble every now and then but nothing big. By the end of the year our partying had caught up to us both of them had to go back home but I couldn't because I knew if I went back I wouldn't make it out a second time. So I got a job working in my apartment complex that was working for a few years until they fired me for the reason to this day am not to sure. I met a dude by the name of D Smoov he told me he needed a guy to rap a verse on a track and in return he would hook me up with a demo cd. D was a member of an rnb group called D-EL. I thought to myself this is my chance with this music I have to come up with something mind blowing and would open up ears everywhere. He came up with a date for me to come through and put my verse down so I did it took a few min but the song was a hit. Later he linked me up with his potna Big EL the both of them were called D-EL the hottest rnb group I have ever heard in real life (real talk). They both opened doors for me to meet many others Jus1, Big Tim, Boogie man, Shannon, Drew Michaels, Kane, and Kali ECT. Around this time in my life I was learning just how dirty working with music can be at times. I had been used and ran over by this person I care not to say his name but just watch yourself Big Tim no your true friends from the fake. D-EL and I done been through a lot these pass few years and have seen fools at play. We have over come and are on the right path that God has placed us on and now are FREE from all the bull. I got this thought in my head if I tell the people what the government will not speak on then I have done my days work on to the streets and the slums from there am going back home to afrika where there is more work to be done. My people if you all are with me then put your fist high and be ready to ride when the time comes RBG.My Life
