i'm right here with you

Hey people, I decided to total recall Valentine Lives. It's not the right time to put music out there as a package just yet. That's not to say i won't be releasing songs because i have ears, i hear what's out, i see/feel what your going through as a listener. Lupe is putting out the best music to date, unwillingly. Everybody else is everybody else. Valentines Day there will be a package out from me. I'm going through life changes, still finding myself, some things more vivid, some blurry. The bright light of negativity/ignorance is very blinding. It's hard keeping a right stable mind, especially being with what i'm going through, but it's good to know the fans like me for who i am, and the direction i take in my music. I don't wanna be responsible for anybodies stupidity. Everybodies so caught up in the wrong things, i'm tryna change that.

I feel like Veeology paved a way for my music lane. So, i'm not gonna deprive myself of that. I do ALOTTA songs for fun that i don't really let people hear cus i just use em to excerise my brain ya'know. Complexities of myself, facing bleak society, broken heartedness (yes, it's a sympton) personal issues, all that kinna shit is really what i'm bout. Alotta shit just don't interest me. I don't care for cars, i'm good with my shitty taurus even tho it's pretty dope to me. I like technology, new inventions, studio equipment, apple products, weed, positivity, moviessssssss, etc. I hate being around people i don't connect with, even tho that leaves me lonely alot now, but fuck it, rather feel comfortable than be with a person that feels they need to talk every second of the time =/. I'm very conversational most of the time, if i let you in that is. but i'm rambling. I'm justa rapper, personals don't matter.

This is fucking awesome!


The shit people tell me out the blue be much needed news most of the time. Like fans, that is. Shit people tell me, and show to me. Makes me wanna drop new music to em. Valentine LIVES next month

You don't know shit about the grind.



I posted some things on my twitter today, so i'ma just post em here.

-

"The people that struggle with me will be the people that shine with me."

"You can talk about what i go through and things i don't have, but time does NOT stay the same, it always changes. Member that"

"Stay away from me if you embarrassed to struggle. You can stay JUST where you at, for the rest of your life."

"I never had that given life."

Bassicly what im saying is alotta people are afraid of struggling, so they say alotta bullshit about me. I'm not the type of person to wanna worry about being late for work, losing a job, filling out job apps. I like doing what i want, when i want, and making things happen. My whole life growing up, i've been seeing the same shit. Same niggas doing/talking about the same meaningless bullshit. Still broke, still without a car, still with they moms or grandmoms, still going to the club tryna get hoes. Same ol same ol BULLSHIT. That life aint for me homie, i want better for myself and the family i care about. I don't really care about some people in my "family". It's only a few people i'ma help out when i get up there. I don't get nor expect support from my "family" so i hope they don't expect shit from me. Cus once i'm in, i'm gone. One of the whole points of me doing this is to leave this place. The city is dead homie, people out here don't even accept me. I'm having a daughter soon, i don't want her to want for anything. I don't give a shit about these other niggas. Besides my mom, my brother, and few of my homies. I don't really care about you, so you can stay the fuck from round me.

I did a verse for this dude and i'm really feeling it. So i'ma give it to yall.

Behind the Scenes of Pursuit of Happiness for Cudder

My heart has the muscle effect

Meaning it breaks down to build up even stronger. I love you, and since there's a way for me to feel this way, there's a way out also. It'll start with a flashlight on my road to recovery to find my sun again. Something out there can bring me happiness again. Something waiting for me. Something that wants me to find it. It's prolly been looking for me all along, and i just been running away tirelessly chasing you. But, my feets tired. So, I'ma sit down. Learn whats good for me. Accept whats happened. Stop trying to force things i think or feel i want so badly. It's up to GOD what i get and when i get it. I've been a disobedient son thinking i can set a path in my life without you. I've been a foolish adam. I'm sorry lord, please forgive me. I realize the more you let something affect you, the more it eats away at you. Let it go, Let it breathe, if it walks, Let it leave. My worth isn't about what someone does with another person. That just shows me she was never really my girlfriend in the first place. It hurts because i really thought i had the one, but i'm grateful i'm in a position to move on. Don't know when my lifes gonna end, but my time here isn't over as i'm typing. And there's about a million other princesses looking for a king. So for now, i'ma just chill out. Be cool. Be peaceful. Make music about it. Live again. aaahhhhhh! Breathing Feels GOOOOOOOOOOOD

We were once a fairy tale





"Broken up, you can't put them pieces together"

Back at this pain again, with no way to distract this negative energy i have filled inside of me. It hurts when you find out things you already knew the answers too, just being told without having questioned the person who told you is invigorating. Now i'm right back where i was before.. hurt, confused, depressed, thrown off, low.. I have no clue what to do with myself. I have no friends to help me through this. I have no studio to record in. I'm forced to face my worst fear of having to get over you, the depression behind knowing what we coulda be, or better yet what i wanted us to be. I spent almost three years of my life with you, most of the time just wanting you to accept my love, before everything fell. How do i throw those feelings away? How can i find light within the darkness? How do i stop myself from killing the person you crept with, WITH our baby inside you.. It's not his fault tho. I just don't wanna feel like this no more. I don't wanna feel for you no more. I don't wanna stay bitter anymore. I'm tired of crying tryna hold myself together while i'm alone. My boredom leads to breakdowns. My breakdowns make me constantly tell myself theres no point in this life thing. What's the point of living justa feel the way i feel everyday.

I don't have a male ego.



Everybody got somethin ta say
And I don't wanna talk
I know I can leave
I'm only crippled in my heart
Met ya at the start
N I thought you was the one
Till I seen you had 2,3,fourrrr
Prolly even 5
You say alotta shit
N it was prolly even lies
2 years of Halloween
Neva took off your disguise
You played wit my heart
Even more wit my mind
And you know I fuckin hate
When I waste my time
The visions are all decieving
Kinda hate my eyes
You drawn up
You a fucking design
I shoulda Neva got involved
But that choice was mine
All that cheating
N I still let you pass through
God tried to tell me
I replied I didn't ask you..
Damn that's love
I just wanna say I'm sorry
To the man up above
I shoulda listened

OMFGOSH I HAVE TO GO TO PORTLAND, OREGON



The first weed cafe has opened in Portland, Oregon.

The United States’ first marijuana cafe opened on Friday, posing an early test of the Obama administration’s move to relax policing of medical use of the drug. The Cannabis Cafe in Portland, Oregon, is the first to give certified medical marijuana users a place to get hold of the drug and smoke it — as long as they are out of public view — despite a federal ban.

“This club represents personal freedom, finally, for our members,” said Madeline Martinez, Oregon’s executive director of NORML, a group pushing for marijuana legalization. “Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana,” said Martinez. “We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis.”

The cafe — in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers — is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card. Members pay $25 per month to use the 100-person capacity cafe. They don’t buy marijuana, but get it free over the counter from “budtenders”. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., it serves food but has no liquor license. There are about 21,000 patients registered to use marijuana for medical purposes in Oregon. Doctors have prescribed marijuana for a host of illnesses, including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Tourette’s syndrome.

On opening day, reporters invited to the cafe could smell, but were not allowed to see, people smoking marijuana. “I still run a coffee shop and events venue, just like I did before we converted it to the Cannabis Cafe, but now it will be cannabis-themed,” said Eric Solomon, the owner of the cafe, who is looking forward to holding marijuana-themed weddings, film festivals and dances in the second-floor ballroom.

The creation of the cafe comes almost a month after the Obama administration told federal attorneys not to prosecute patients who use marijuana for medical reasons or dispensaries in states which have legalized them. About a dozen states, including Oregon, followed California’s 1996 move to adopt medical marijuana laws, allowing the drug to be cultivated and sold for medical use. A similar number have pending legislation or ballot measures planned.

Pot cafes, known as “coffee shops”, are popular in the Dutch city of Amsterdam, where possession of small amounts of marijuana is legal. Portland’s Cannabis Cafe is the first of its kind to open in the United States, according to NORML. Growing, possessing, distributing and smoking marijuana are still illegal under U.S. federal law, which makes no distinction between medical and recreational use. Federal and local law enforcement agencies did not return phone calls from Reuters on Friday seeking comment on the Portland cafe’s operations.

ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IF YOU DIDN'T READ THIS IS THAT IT'S AMERICA'S FIRST WEED CAFE!
