Lemme tell you how it will be when you fall in love with freedom.
When you fall in love with freedom you
Look around and scream with rage at shit shakers who always sing hymns as they castrate, castigate, and annihilate each others character.
How can we overcome when we have no direction.
Turn right, no left, go forward two steps and backwards nine.
When you fall in love with freedom you discard the dumb knowing
That dumber is right around the corner so you flee to the hills and hope that you are hidden for one more day as you plan your eventual and free resurrection.
The resurrection of Black womanhood liberated from hoods woman, the no longer bitch, but one who is rich.
Rich with the promise of I know your game and I’m not here to play
So take my hand or just walk away.
Lemme tell you what it is like to see
Another one free the same as me.
Celebrate oneness or celebrate choice.
Celebrate the advent of your new voice.
Celebrate, celebrate, it is not about fun
Celebrate one day without the gun.
But if it must and has to be
We shall fight the fight and call ourselves free.
FREE DUMB FREE DUMB FREE DUMB
AIN’T NOTHING FREE AND DUMB
IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS
LEMME TELL YOU THIS!!!!!

It is instant gratification, a road to nowhere, but they travel it willingly. No one put them there except themselves.
People don't change unless they want to.
Remember that mentor I told you about? He also said "you can't save the world, but you can be the best example for what you believe in." That said to me when I was trying to save the world.
Love to you Mikki. I still think we should get drunk.
