Episode 13 | Slum Village Raised A Child

Journeying Through This Beautiful Process That We Call Life, I Picked Up On A Key Personal Motto, Or Life Principle, If You Will - From The Qu'ran, Via The Prophet Willie Da Kid, I Learned That, "You Want It For Your Brothers, Like You Want It For Yourself, Otherwise You Don't Believe" - When I Look At The Gene Pool From Whence I Came, It's Easier To Trace My Predisposition To Give, All The Way Back To My Ancestors, I'm A Born Giver... When You're A Giver, Living In A World Overridden With Dire Need, It's Easy To Become Disillusioned With The Status Quo; You Often Find Yourself Giving That Which You May Grow To Lack, Eventually, Due To A Shortage Of Givers, Living Their Best Giving Lives, Allowing You To Be Replenished, As Well; This Complex Conundrum, Almost Led To Me Losing Sight Of My Purpose, And Life Mission, I Became Suicidal, Because I Felt Like People Had Stolen Away All I Had To Give, I Was Watching My Intellectual Property Being Used To Profit Other People, While I Could Barely Keep The Lights On, Or Help My Mother Out, When She Needed Me Most.

"Vengeance Is Mine, Sayeth The Lord...", In My Deliverance, I Was Awoken To A Peace That I Never Knew I Could Have Again - Folks Don't Steal Something, That They Already Have - All Those Who Tried To Rob Me Of My Assets, Joy, Ideas, Faith, And Drive, Are Actually Broken Ass People, Who Couldn't Reach Those Heights, So They Tried To Bring Me Down To Their Level... Oksalayo, I Forgive You, I Truly Understand Now, That You Don't Know No Better - Giving, And Creating, Is What I Do Best, Others A Better At Just Taking, Or Stealing, And That Shouldn't Stop Me From Doing My Job... Just Because Folks Are Out There Creating Diseases, It Doesn't Mean Scientists Have To Stop Trying To Find Cures. We Move, In Faith.

I've Been Hurt, As A Result Of Sharing, Caring, And Working Hard To Help Improve People's Situation's, On Both Personal, And Professional Fronts, I've Had To Take Losses, As A Result Of Investing My All Into People, Their Purposes, And Their Idea's - I Almost Stopped Fighting To Live, As A Result Of That Pain - I Lost Money, I Lost Businesses, I Lost Time, I Fell Into Crippling Debt, And Even Had To Move Back Home, Due To Some "Bad" Investments, In People - "For Even In Defeat, There's A Valuable Lesson Learned, So That Even's It Up For Me...", Those Experiences, Irregardless Of How Excruciatingly Painful They Were, Helped Propel Me To Where I Was Destined To Be, So In A Sense, I Helped Myself, While I Thought I Was Just Tryna Help My Guys... That's God For You, Always Thinking Decades Ahead, While We Stress About Often Inconsequential Things, That Only Serve To Distract Us, From Enjoying Our Personal, And Collective Life Journeys.

May All Your Pain, Be Champagne, As We Enjoy Our Reign, Dancing In The Rain.

Jah Bless You!
