I never quite understood why there are so many people in this world who are always watching the moves of others as they plan their alter-motives. I've never figured it out. Do people do the things they do out of bordem? I swear, some people who aren't necessarily aren't connected to me are seriously on some random miscellanous shit but I don't have time for it. They can keep their idleness to themselves and ponder that. As I was really sitting here trying to discuss this ignorance with Brooklynn, searching for a median... we really couldn't find a general answer as to why it is that people do some of the shit they do. Am I that much of a threat to you that you feel as though you have to consume your head with me and the things that I do? Out of no where, this song came into my head along with "Dot" and I flashed back to the time in my life where this song meant most to me. It's ironic how some life long friends of mines got faded out like mudslides in California. People that I thought would be active members of life always were suddenly gone and I was left to be my own support system. However, I learned quickly that first and foremost I am my own support system. This was my confirmation:
"Now that you're outta my life, I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without ya, but I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without ya, but I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without ya, I love harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya, now I'm wiser!
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya, but I'm chillin
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya, sold nine million"
When I first heard this, I thought to myself it's more than strange how people thrive off of ripping people's lives apart but that they fail to realize is that strong people come with a strong foundation and it takes more than a little wind to break down a person to it's core. You cannot stop people from being successful especially if it is bound to happen. Jesus has the final say-so, not some weak azz hoe. Which would bring me to this:
"You thought I couldn't breathe without ya, I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without ya, perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without ya, but I'm lastin
You thought that I would die without ya, but I'm livin
Thought that I would fail without ya, but I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now, but it won't stop
Though that I would self-destruct, but I'm still here
Even in my years to come, I'm still gon' be here!"
My point well made exactly. When with they ever realize that the things you do to others will come back on you and backfire? DUH! How many times have you heard the saying, you will reap what you sow. Dang! Hasn't anybody's parents ever told them that belittling someone isn't making you a better person- so just stop with the foolishness because you make yourself look stupid! Seriously! Which brings me to this:
"Wishin you the best, pray that you are blessed
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
I'm better than that! I'm not gon' blast you on the radio
I'm better than that! I'm not gon' lie on you and your family
I'm better than that! I'm not gon' hate on you in the magazines
I'm better than that! I'm not gon' compromise my Christianity
I'm better than that! You know I'm not gon' diss you on the internet
cause my momma tought me better than that!"
It's self explanatory.
I love being who I am because unlike some, I do know who I am and I don't look to others to define who I am.
