She Will Be ♥

'Top of the World' Trey Songz

Money on my mind saw these haters in a way,
Having conversation with the paper every day.
I ain’t talking short bread, girl I'm with that magic cake.
Plus I spend it I can’t take it when the lord takes me away.

With my lighter, with my lighter,
Hey sissi, fill my drink up.
Ain’t no purple, ain’t no take up in this red cup that I’m fucked up.
Staring at your body, god damn your sexy body,
I’m trey I came to play on, and use you as my hobby girl.
Seen so many faces in these unfamiliar cities.
Bright skylines got a nigger kinda dizzy,
They trying to take my spot well they gonna have to come and get me,
My crib is at the top anybody rolling with me?

If I could I would bring the whole hood to the top of the world, with me,
Here's my world, for free.
Tryna give you what you came to see, yea.
If I could I would bring the whole hood to the top of the world, with me,

You say you working harder then I swear that you a liar.
They swear they hot as me, but they ain't never felt the fire.
If you’re talking money, boy you preachin' to the choir.
And I be in her brain, she can't think of nothin' flyer.
For my niggas in the hood, looking at these other niggas, like I wish a nigga would.
Cause they ain’t no good.
If I could I would reach up my hands,
To everybody that’s suffering.
Push you down, get up again,
Play by my rules, so fuck the plan!

Lately, I'm smoking more. Doing it for Virginia, yea.

Tryna give you what you came to see, yea. Top of the world with me.

Yeah, lately I’m smoking more,
But still I’m focused more.
A little day can see tomorrow,
I don’t know for sure.
You I wrote this for
Hmm, oh you’re dope for sure,
Oh yeah, you’re raw, so get a cookie.
Let ‘em know you’re pure!
I pray for this, I pray for this,
So I’m made for this.
These nigga are just pop holes in the road that I pay for this,
Obama tried to turn this mother fucker round.
And look, they’re trying to put that mother fucker down.
Women, please check for sun, more than stilettos
And young girls, make this young niggas respect you!
If I was your father, I’d never neglect you,
So a nigger like me probably never met you,
Pray some special, and I’m happy I met you,
But you really wanna know me I just wanna sex you.
After you wanna cuddle, I don’t want, but I let you,
You made me promise, and I’m honest, try not to forget you!
Bond growing stronger with the brothers that look up to me,
It’s more important than whatever that they fuck with me.
Luckily my angel speak to God, like what’s up for me.
My heart beat for the people who carry the love for me.
Left my feelings in the past, you can’t get in touch with me,
If you want it, I give him cash, I do it reluctantly.
But that’s my nigger, I’mma put it back upon his feet.
And is he fall, he can still come right back to me.
Wish I could take everybody, nigga!

Amber Rose

I hope that no one is surprised to find something like this going viral. It happens everyday. Not that I’m condoning it, but we live in American society where the old heads wants to protect the young from over sexualition (purposely made up word) from entertainment and media. You can’t stop that and the kids are going to get their information whether you like it or not. We have Google and they know everything. The best we can hope to do is educate them. If they wanna learn before their time, give them the full sex education. Show them what a vagina infect with Gonorrhea looks like. I just did and I was scared shitless. Thank god I wasn’t eating lunch.

There are something that doesn’t sit with me though:

How do we even know that this is really “amber cole”? For all we know, someone had a vendetta on this person and name dropped her to give her hell. That would be one way of doing it. And if that is the case, who is that young lady in the video.

No one is giving gripe to the boys in the video. I mean they seem pretty cool about it and the fact that no one is criticizing them which only promoting their behavior and making them thing it’s ok. It really isn’t and anyone thing that it’s ok for all that nonsense at school (of all places) needs to be examined.

People are saying that this is a mistake. No, you don’t mistakenly open your mouth and insert someone’s dick in it. She was not blind either. Don’t patronize her, she knew what she was doing. 

And if it really is her, she’ll never work in America for a reputable company or organization. She’s infamously known and you don’t get many jobs that way with that background. That is what’s most upsetting because people live for today and not think about their consequences for tomorrow.

Most of all, how this has cause an uproar in the black community on the internet. There are grown people arguing over the fact that she is a slut (or not). I can’t believe that people are really doing that. And don’t get me started on twitter. You tend to realize what kind of people there are out in the world. Instead of helping her out (which in this case I don’t know how one could), you judge her. The internet brings the worse in people.

Untold Truths

There was cold rain falling from the sky,

        the hot air was sticky and thick.

My face was flushed and my heart was racing beyond control.

I wished my heart would be stoic,

        that no one heard my silent screams amidst all my scars.

I'm invisible to you this is where I must survive.

In my museum of emotions, my gallery of untold truths,

            the reality of us slithered into focus.

I now understand why I built those barriers creating distance between us.

It was not until your heart spoke it’s truth,

            that I knew I was fully empty.

You touched me and it broke me down.

Your words could never mask, never soothe,

            the ache in my heart I felt for the very first time.

I tried to let you go, but it’s not as easy.

Left to pick up the pieces alone,

            you vanished without a trace, but your eyes forever stay with me.

I just wish, to this day, you weren’t blind.  

I don't even...

...have words for this justice issue. I’m so appalled - no pun intended. Our criminal justice system needs a serious overhaul. As my sister said to me, “…something just doesn’t sit right with me.” With that being said, everyone must know that the issue is not whether or not Troy Davis is guilty, the issue is that he did NOT get a fair trial. The 6th Amendment states “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall been committed” and personally, I don’t think Troy Davis was given a fair trial. 

I’m also very sick and tired about people asking “Where’s Obama?!” For the last time, Obama can’t DO ANYTHING. Indeed, he can acknowledge this case in the future, but still, it stands that he simply couldn’t do anything. Unless there is or will be some indication of foul play within the federal or state justice system throughout the duration of the case, Obama has no “voice”. He deals with federal issues and that of our bill of rights - along with the US Supreme Court and all of the circuit courts. Troy Davis is not a federal case - strictly a criminal state case.

Finally, we complain that our voice is not heard. We complain when we get served for jury duty. Our solution - get registered and VOTE and please, go to jury duty. We can be that one decision between guilty and innocence, and hopefully another case never gets to this.

RIP Troy Davis.

My twin sister, Kayana J. McCalla, said it perfectly. Hence, I'm sourcing her in this piece. Check out her blog: purpleraainicry.tumblr.com

When will it come to an end?

Simple peck-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other “isms” that cause so much suffering in the world.

…Does tolerance have a chance? Only if we want it to. Only when we want it to. Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we’re as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.

…We’ve one-upped ourselves to death; just our tendency to one-up each other as individuals and groups, large and small.

The Ambitious Girl

The Ambitious Girl

“Ambitious girl, the drive-drive me crazy
I'm tryna stay with you, lay with you
I'll pay your tuition, and pray with you if you ain't in to wishin
I'm tryna fuck the shit out your aspirations […]

I'd rather you tell me to hit you later,
Because you gotta finish a paper, […]

See these bitches can't cut in yo business
I'm in love with your business
And your productivity is the reason I interest, ambitious girl
See, I like the person that you are,
But I'm in love with the person that you have potential to be […]

Go girl, go girl, go girl, ambition.

Ambition, ambition, ambition, ambition, ambition, ambition, ambition.”

‘Ambitious Girl’ Wale

Ambition is the desire for personal achievement. It’s an inner motivation, fostered by determination for reaching inner potentials greater than those many believe we have. It requires effort, not settling. It requires building and molding strong abilities, an inner eagerness. Ambition describes one who wishes to rise above his or her present position in society, rich or poor. Ambition is multifaceted: spiritually internal, socially building noticeable success and energy-filled wealth.

To have ambition is a quality that many leaders have. My parents always told me, I work hard so you can achieve more than I have, be better than I am. My ambition is supported by my inner determination to be better than my circumstances. If there is a choice for me to make, with no better alternative, I refuse to pick either. I refuse to settle. My ability to keep striving, despite many pitfalls I’ve encountered, has ended up working with me to reach my goals. Synonyms to ambition are aggressive, avid, pretentious, goal-orientated, eager, pushy and resourceful amongst many more. Ambition can be a dangerous trait because its influence falls short of nothing.

What may be considered as an achievement, worth all its while, in my own judgment, may just be worth nothing to others. But that’s perfectly okay too, because ambitious goals are objective and based on personal perspectives. In my one life, I can make a difference, although in the absence of extraordinary gifts and or extraordinary circumstances that difference can be small or large. If it is small, those differences can add up and if they are large, these differences are worthwhile in and of themselves.

“Livin' life without fear,
Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears.
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool,
considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school.
Stereotypes of a black [female] misunderstood.
And it's still all good […]

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us,
no heat, wonder why Christmas missed us.
Birthdays was the worst days,
now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay.
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive […]

You know very well who you are.
Don't let ‘em hold you down, reach for the stars.
You had a goal, but not that many,
'cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty.”

‘Juicy’ The Notorious B.I.G
