i think it will sure it's the last playing a. lot no team no crowd. no shots. matching belts. strap no 1st small. points your thirst for action.

lessons became the place where my dreams i felt like my dream could be realized and i would like to stay here. i was 27 when i came here. i was inside me and my girlfriend we had a we had a place together so i was paying half the renie she was paying to have to live so we were inside for 3 years. i met on the street she was using i got off to a gala down to drinking beer but her liver had already ran its course she needs she

didn't want to get on a liver transplant so. she died from so most of the liver. and write songs is stu's me based on something that i would experience or and something that's happened to me that's when the poems use you know when it comes from within i mean gospel. army blue country. they all have. they all tell stories. when i hear but. as far as the streets ready you never know what's going to happen in a day and a week things go you know it's not just here is it's everywhere it's like wildfire you know los angeles county. you just look right

across the street a couple of blocks run that was a whole nother game it does not get along with decide over here. and we have real history right here is out of gangs a broke and then you have. basically 3 different types of gangs activity going on now you have a crips was most of them don't get along you have the list there star now not to get a loan or write a you have to see on the west side of compton and this is track new clark which is the park i'm standing there right now and the t p c c s group are counting for. us it's never right and that's where bam in ca and my weapon dog man in the cell. always some type of big me going i want to kind of keep everything that i was never like peace between businesses and the neighbors and the neighborhoods and the schools and the budgets

and the polies department everything was. back to some great and some to study and some obvious the town it got dropped the talent i would have been let it come out polies was kicking my gang it was basically kicked in against as. we needed to speak out against the. gangsta rap for me you know i'm saying. was a cry for attention like you know this is what's going on over here we don't bring lights it is we don't make make sure that you guys know he's been in the. whole. this is part of the steve. i cannot talk to you right now i'm on i'm on camera i would speak to you about 1015 minutes a day in the head with that. ok.

a business call. more work. more gigs more excitement. this is how i live. in. harlem some place for you where you go to find jazz and blues and r. and b. . you find that you also upon the punk energy.

you can live your life very stately and. or you can be loud. very very. uneven by other people who enjoy that same volume.

i'm in a motion. that i feel for this city is constant motion constant velocity everything moves all at once and. sometimes it works sometimes we get in each of those way but there are like over like 8000000 of us in this city so we get along as best we can sometimes we don't but this is the excitement of the chaos that i live 'd in this is what fuels by music this is what fuels me i like the noise don't ask me why i was born here i like the noise with us j.s. . or rock n roll or. this is what i have but i do. watch.

i perform. where of the work is i enjoy performing with the people or sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't this is. wall street this is rather.

dull. for her because. the system is great to. hear from our friends for a jury to see a public service i'm sorry to hear i'm just here for those who took a marvelous holmes at. least. to. the police.

a lot of us started with the spirituals because the spirituals during the days of slavery. work means of communication for. the slaves to communicate to each other about what was getting ready to happen like steal away steal away steal away to jesus they were getting ready to use the sounds doing the underground railroad to communicate with each other they were singing they were not allowed to read the bibles. and they were fleeing from from the south to the north and spirituals choir sing them but there they really have a message if you listen to. the

it. was. the minister gets up to preach there should be nothing for him to do but to give the word and as the levites used to prepare the music and with the harps and the

flute they prepared the way for the for the for the message to be given and church music to me does the same when you don't have hope you know the song this is you know i need the every hour. and it's kind of like a prayer because you it just helps you remember all the things that he's brought you. true. because especially during times of sadness people are they don't have money. and sometimes you just need that song and sometimes it's not a docile song though it just may be a song just hearing joy to the world the lord has come and then now and then there's another version of there is joy to the. gospel just takes a different different twist to a song that we all know but it gives people hope i think that gospel music gives

you hope it gives you peace and it gives you joy you know the young people they have a different beat you know. but they have a different be and so that then they come out with a new song still the same for. every day. from grace to read. it had to happen. had to happen there was it was inevitable we call it thanks right now it was actually story corps reality read perfect example so easy lyrics he said whoa. known just had to be compton so gotta get drunk before my day begins before my mama start bitching

about my friends basic you understand everything i'm saying right here my reality is simple compton born and raised. father just a father died when i was a baby mama was a crackie a 4 minute we all have our stories i had to earn my respect in the streets in order to just survive in kind of it was it was more of a necessity to say which you had to say like. you know i'm saying like the batterer you know sam i mean you know saying these are words that people understand where we come from so when you put that in a song that's what everybody will gravitate to. the mix is many protesters on the streets of america speaking about the media he once said that if you're not careful it could have you hating the people being oppressed

and loving the people doing the oppressing but what does that distinction mean in today's usa. you know we're number one. in united states we all slow number one. i mean. the most. evil are you selling crack or you got to we can jump shot in order. to like a law in a month's other one. so this is. the

rule. lot of people don't know what's go i know they don't know what it's like for us over here you don't know what how hard it is just tell me. where africa music is coming from the soul. african-americans have struggled from the beginning that's not a gimmick it's like only hot you know if feel with

a feel. my people who struggled with. you know booze came from the cotton fields i mean so those people had a lot of. what i say. you know a lot of grievances you know not be in. people to do what they want to. and not being free new york does sound like different from texas different from chicago new york has its own style i try to make mine stand out but different from all you know still have the blues feel but different. training. started playing in the subways by. 3 years i mean 2000 there was

a fortune francis it was right a 5 year plan in the south way. every day. monday through saturday i might take our one day play in the south way. every day. so as base mayor. i knew this was a woman. from everything all the. ranchman just like people working with a man i don't feel paid them feel beals meals meals. a day every read. this to keep you on the air get him say keep from band on

which also can be from being homeless you know. the socialism new york ring which is like no other rain anywhere else in the world . like a movie. like the cleansings the fact is of the rebirth. it was. leaked and now so. many. of them will be the. study. was.

done. some way. it. was go on our own. some people you nuts. call they feel like this. you saying and doing what you lowered to do. and they don't mean now i don't care how good you are in the subway it's not about how good she was it's just a lot of people just. so you get you know you will not if you

think you're going to be well. number one and number was. was. all those. dollars. was. a dollar is what i had. one though this might be the turn this. was due and of i guess outs are and then. since when has and then. told him aren't. right god bless.

american music is largely africa. we got carried away. we carried the music with us. the real hard because the bomb goes was we don't have a lot of money. you know that. good that noise is that music sounding. that's the heartbeat of our student. let the politicians not the rich real the heart what we do is the truth. it's not about money. it's the color of nature not the color of money. one of the real new yorker we've got you want a real musician you've got your real human being.

already. so cause. like i was going to leave it straight and i was even make a claim in her where she was don't want trade but you want gossip girl if we got

a case just to cheat or try to play telephone games always get it back with. african band thought to be a serious problem with cable wrestling and the guy from the place you say it is the our point bullets up top you saw 3 kids snake space perfect foam rest mass you want to work off we got clean towel pete nah mona lisa i tool box i'm in pain you need to say. people just got a lot aggression up in here because you know the system is always on these people heads you know came through to. form a commission into slavery to be squashed inside of an area. life gets you down was a lot of gunshots so i missed it going on competition out here now to see who comes up with the best on board as far as music and lyrics

a lot of things happen you know to where these guys like to get off their chest bharati it's all cultures being. you know people from africa african-americans however you want to call it black you want to call that we always have a world with people and in the artist to be a no one in the english culture we have to die broaden their view sometimes how we use our words and how they use their words of the system that we live in now you know this is all wordplay an old action. likely argument list takes 4 plus one the safest place to throw boston at long last the result of any. assets just so they got a number in the series and then he got he did so by need to get crow in a box that's not good but that's the sequence. and put the people on the city slicker how to put in make it their own and up listen they come out some but then i got trying to point the shots having to make a difference to get around a conference up to see how we play and. get

it right. over half of our part of. the appeal by what you seen around is not enough not if it seems to be negative thing anybody this morning. they're going to just be you know your former will is a you know. you know why people form that they get no harm and they go right. down. here we were dragged here. by you not going to get rid of us. you're not go away you will not die quietly you brought us here just duck with us.

let me. love doc. strong. in the united states here by the look of the phone there with that man on control that we all did that one day we all that we know will control that. move.

people want to control this god. control them and they. are. some people are gone this protest across america right now bolshevik revolution time make a reference to the workers' uprising that we saw in the old imperial russia. and you've got a new imperium here in america

a lead story can tell you there and the workers suddenly realize that wait a minute we don't want to live under a dictatorship we don't want to live under a monarchy of some good old fashioned bolshevik revolution which is what's happening because. you know what's a clip of she will be no use to you. it's always ok it was because who more would. you need me to. take with us the mood at the cooped up. in the open to get him to. see the. yes. he. he yes what.

most folks don't like the truth. we're living in a generation then. is confused as it relates to the truth. and power. and the truth is a myth so build up. the old j. .
