I manifest who I be on your chest just like a name chain

I'm the nicest, like almighty Isis
You want my flow? No, it's priceless
Got to set it, G, to let 'em know my pedigree
If your skills ain't rap, then perhaps you should let it be

still a bit stuffy w/ a slight cough. but i read an article over the weekend on diane patrick. very inspiring woman. she does her thing and reps for her set too. but anyways my crib got flooded this weekend. that fuqing sucked. still trying to get things back in order. and the midget has left the building. good timing, huh? a month of freedom ensues and dry sheets shall ensue.

so word, yo. riddle me this, batman. obviously something is wrong if there are over 500 guns that have been turned in to the city's gun buyback program. i think someone was quoted in an article in 2004 that we got our own damn terrorism on inner city streets to deal with. a damn shame. but tis true in many respects.

but i wonder what the hell happens to those guns. obviously, a lot of people's mistrust of police stems from past incidents involving crooked cops. do they destroy them or lock them away in "storage"?

as a matter of fact, what abotu all that illegal money that gets conficated? where does that factor into the city's budget? you'd think there'd be enough dough like that to cover the extra $1.2 million our city's kids are screaming for.

the city council is scheduled to vote on the budget on wednesday (tomorow). mad heads are supposed to bumrush the spot to give a visible presence of the the community's request that the line item for youth jobs be increased from where it is now at about $3.8 million to $5 million.

Menino bumped it up a notch by $300,000, but really though. the more i break it down, the less i am feeling his jekyl and hyde style. i recall last summer meeting him and then writing that i should have asked him about his retaliatory ways. now, i've come across two recent articles that refer to the menino effect and to the egotistical ways by which some things get ignored or dismissed. i'ma ll for the little shut down of construction crews on city streets he pulled last week, but if we really break it down. who was really clamoring for that action? he just happened to hit a bumpy block in dorchester. maybe he's really step it up if something got caught sleeping and some kid ran up on him and told him to run his shT. i gurantee it would be swift action to get these shorties employed like 2 snaps and a twist.

but speaking of mysteries, how in the hell are there so many social service agencies in this city, serving a large population os disenfranchised, disadvantaged, and largely Black and Latino population. but none of them got Black folks on their staff? had some eye-opening conversations last friday night with the OGs. They put me on to a whole new realm of breaking this shT down. Sure, all of these foundations like it when the darling on-profit has a Black man on their board. But can you employ some brothers for crying out loud!
