Music was always there to rely on.
And if I don’t listen to it for a day,
I feel dead.
It’s such a sad thing,
Seems like it’s a drug,
That us human beings need.
Some can go with or without it,
But the people who need it,
Fein it like crazy,
Now that’s crazy
I’m a momma’s boy and I say it proudly and I don’t care what people have to say about it. If it makes me seem weak, then let me be weak at least I got my mommy by my side.
Now, at almost 18, I can’t even express how important my brother’s love, support, and friendship has been to my growth as a person.
But looking back at it now it made me a stronger person and shaped my character/personality.
My dad once told me “you ain’t nothing but an East Oakland girl… so don’t call me when you strung out on drugs.” He said more but those are the words that stuck wit me and they always will.
I was eight years old, asleep in the top bunk of my bed, when I heard guys yelling outside my house. Then pop-pop-pop, and a bullet came smashing through my window landing in the wall just inches above my head.
Once I reached my destination of Estelí, Nicaragua the feelings of anxiousness went away and the journey that shaped me into the person I am now started. During this time that I call the” unexpected summer of realization”.
Another great thing about hip hop is that it allows people who may not normally have an ability to express themselves and be heard to let it all out. Kids who live in underprivileged areas or have abusive parents may not have many people to talk to, but with hip-hop they can channel all of their emotions in a positive way.
As I was about to cross a police officer was in the process of pulling over a car. Nevertheless it was an African American woman.
