Daily Obsession: This is crazy inspiring....

I actually listened to this on repeat at the gym today through my ENTIRE workout. 1 Hour. Straight.



Lyrics:
Today, nobody cares
But tomorrow, they will (they will)
Today, nobody cares
But ohhh tomorrow, they will (they will)

[Chorus]
They said my future was dark, see me now
Just look around...I'm Beaming (Beaming..we are)
They used to talk, when I wasn't around (Lasers)
You see me now (We're not)...I'm Beaming (Losers)

[Verse 1]
I get my energy, from my inner G
I be in outer space, but I got inner peace
So tell my enemies, that they can't injure me
I know that irritates, you have my sympathies
Well you should protest, yea you should picket me
I on a losing strike, I'm on a winning streak
I'm out at left field, I'm speaking mentally
But that's a better place, then where the benches be
I'm feeling really good, me and my different beat.
Me and my different drummer, he played the timpanis
See that's what got me here, you hearing me
Me on my "Black man in the future shit," call me Billy D
See I'm just forward looking, that's how I really see
See while you Valentines, I'm thinking Christmas trees
And that's happens to be, even at Micky D's
Semi-colon, close, parentheses

[Chorus]
They said my future was dark, see me now
Just look around...I'm Beaming (Beaming)
They used to talk, when I wasn't around
You see me now...I'm Beaming

[Verse 2]
Do you remember me, the guy from verse 1
Failures my last name, Never's my first one
You see I hood a lot, and yea I nerd some
Hood's where the heart is, nerd's where the words from
Don't represent either, because I merged them
Its kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them
Go out and see the world, never return from
Yea you don't come back, unless you learned some
And baby girl what does it matter where your purse from
Your hair done, your nails did, your ass fat but you're dumb
Mix Melissa Ford, with Maya Angelou
Become a Top Model, and Sojourner too
I try to follow this, what Muhammed do
Its such an old soul, inside this sonic youth
Its why I'm ferrari'd up and I'm conscience too
I don't prophesize , I promise you

[Chorus]
They said my future was dark, see me now
Just look around...I'm Beaming (Beaming)
They used to talk, when I wasn't around (Lasers...haha)
You see me now...I'm Beaming

[Verse 3]
Yeah, it’s me again, the guy from verse two
Well, this the last one, it’s almost curfew
It’s almost night out, so turn your lights on
Where all my 760s, witcha brights on?
Yeah, they are the ones to keep your eyes on
Like how we used to do, to keep the house warm
Now those the type of eyes, I not cry from
You see the tears of fire run out my cryin’ songs
Now the world’s shoulders is what we cryin’ on
The world’s fast lane is what I’m drivin’ on
What am I driving at? I’m tryna drive it home
I’m in the driver’s seat, but you can ride along
‘Cause never cyclops, it’s never I alone
I’m tellin’ your story wherever I perform
Now if they lookin’ for me, tell ‘em I’ve gone
Out in the bright lights, right where I belong

[Chorus]
They said my future was dark, see me now
Just look around...I'm Beaming (Beaming)
They used to talk, when I wasn't around
You see me now...I'm Beaming

I am back at the obsession level again. I listened 4 times while writing this post.

Self Love Lessons from a puppet.

I wanted to post this yesterday- but let it slip by.

My man Craig posted a really good blog post about this. Check it out.

I love this. With race and self image and hatred being a very top of mind issue for me in recent times, I was really moved by this. This needs to continue.

Kudos.

This came on today...

I have been noticing a lot of just outright racism that is occurring in the media, politics (especially politics), the internet and various other places. You would think that since a black man is the figurehead for this country, that racism would subside, just a little. But no- the exact opposite. I discussed with some friends of mine at the beginning of Bam's presidency about we felt this was gonna happen. This is a real.



I was at the gym this morning and saw this on the TV there.

Intentional or not, this is not appropriate.

I am an Influencer. There I said it.

I had the honor of being on a panel last week speaking about my craft and the process and such. It was quite fun and frankly, made me nervous at times. Here are some highlights and a closing interview.








Thanks to Todd Triplett for asking me to be a part of this. I had a ton of fun.
