This is my first blog and i haven't really taken much time to think about what i'm gonna say. Thank you for reading it though.
My aim in this post, is to share with Y'all something i found on a cd and i hope it will have some significance to you as it did to me. For me it captures the importance of being alive and the importance of the present, wheither things are bad for you or wheither they are good at the moment. if times are hard, remember there's always someone who has burdens 10 times greater than yours, so in a sense be greatful and look at the bright side [even if it is not that bright]. Or if times are good and you feel that you may have everything always remember that we are in a big world with a land of opportunity, so try and spread your good fortune, and you might feel even better than that!!! [i hope im making sense lol]
This blog is dedicated to Anees Benson [My nephew] who passed away a a week and a half ago. He was 12 years old, and actully made me realise how short life is and how valuable it is.
Anyways here's an excerpt from the song i talked about [it's spoken at the end of the song]
Be, be here, be there, be that, be this
Be greatful for life, be greatful to life
Be gleeful everyday, for bein the best swimmer among 500,000
Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie, be little black sambo With bad hair
Be aware of what a lynch is, Be, be boundless energy
Be a four star ghetto general, be no one except I
Be a strong academic student, be an A student in sociology
Be food for thought to the growin mind, be the author of your own horoscope
Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful
Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day
Be peaceful if possible, but justice in ways (?)
Be high when you low, be on time but knowin to go
Be cautious of the road to college, takin a detour through vietnam or the middle east
Be absent of wars at any past or present fought amongst themselves
Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while beggin
A nation built on free labor for reperation, Be a cartopogropher
Be a map maker, be able to find afro-american man
search thoroughly it may be close to black man
Be ammended 5/5ths, be ammended 5/5ths human
Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wild life
Be cupid, to world government
Be found among the truth, lost tribe
Be at full strength when walking through the valley
Be not foolish as tender 18 of the mountain tops
Be a brilliant soul, sparklin in the galaxy while walkin on earth
Be loved by God as much as God loved Ghandi and Martin Luther King
Be that last one of 144,000, be the resident of that twelfth house
Be....eternal! [Taken from Common's 2005 Be and the song is called It's your world]
