Baby I’m blessed
If you leave me, you leaving the best
So you would have to settle for less
If you don't love me
Somebody else will

YO! I deserve better than this.
This aint no chick

Brains, power, and muscle

Your girl back on the hustle

Thank You Altec Lansing for allowing me to run a few beats through your system, every night. On this fine Wednesday night, I am in the process of preparing for my Economics midterm tomorrow accompanied by Biggie-esque basslines. Best believe ya girl can recite any Biggie verse at the drop of a DIME:
While others flirt, Im sewing tigers on my shirt And alligators Ya wanna see the inside, huh, I see ya later --

While educating myself on modern day economics, I ran up on http://www.bothteamsplayedhard.net/, only to discover the salaries of an elite collective of athletes that topped SportsIllustrasted Fortune50 List. Among them, 26 NBA players topped the list, including:

3. LeBron - $40.5 million
5. Kobe - $35.5 million
16. DWade - $25.0 million
18. Melo - $22.6 million24. JKIdd - $21.0 million
25. Starbury - $21.0 million

To quote the late Biggie:
"If the game shakes me or breaks me
I hope it makes me a better man
Take a better stand
Put money in my moms hand
Get my daughter this college plan, so she dont need no man"

He said Get my daughter this college plan, so she don't need no man

Bad btches are self-made


Stay far from timid
Only make moves when ya hearts in it
And live the phrase skys the limit

The Cries from the killing is senseless. Five years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq,
President Bush denied that the there’s any link between the faltering U.S. economy
and $10 billion a month being spent on the Iraq war.

That women and children suffer the most during times of war is not a new phenomenon. It is a reality as old as war itself. "collateral damage" is the "inexcusable murder of and other irreparable harm done to women, children and the elderly during any military offensive"

I doubt democracy has anything to do with it, when US foreign policy in the Middle East manifests itself most starkly in its impact on the children of Iraq, who continue to pay with their lives and futures for the brutal follies of our administration.

We must acknowledge our most pressing needs, concerns outside of ourselves that span the world we live in.

To the millions of children whose minds hold tremendous potential:
"Diamond, you are so beautiful.
You can change this world if you want to"

PhotobucketAnd you better believe I'll tell my children that, every single day.
