Money.

"I hate money 'cause it makes me numb" -M.I.A.


This really sets the tone as to how I really feel about money
because at times I just wanna yell
F*CK MONEY!
'cause that shit could honestly burn in hell!

You can't live with it and you can't live without.
It's the root of all evil and it truly corrupts.

"Money doesn't make you happy but it does make it more enjoyable."

Yes money's out there to be made but it never seems to fall my way.
I only seem to splurge & ball Nov 6, my birthday.

If you could take it all away, you might just make my day
but then again how would I make it in life?
I would still need to support my kids & a wife.

Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous
you could really miss me with that bullshit
I know I'd take what is needed and give the rest to the needy

Just me, my team, fam & my breezy
Some to make my weekends fun, worthwhile & easy
St. Tropez or LA
NYC or Miami
London, DR, PR
Tokyo, you greedy hoe!

The mighty dolla corrupts from within
setting eyes on things that are not the price

So I'll take this dollar and this dream
F*CK C.R.E.A.M.
'cause cash truly does rule everything around
and spend it only on what's necessary

"Time"

Time
Do you have it?
Not hours and minutes
but the infinite occurance of past, present & future
Time is neither mine nor yours
Time we are yours
So don't tell me we have all the time in the world.
Live the day to the fullest
Not as if you have tomorrow to make it up.
Live for the moment
(Like you own it)

Our most valuable resource wasted,
Wasted on the past, not living in the present and formulating the future.

If you could just look past the past by putting your past in the past
Live each day to its full potential granted second chances are rare to come by but we're given a fresh start in life everyday
makes the uncertain gift of the future a little more clearer
day by day.

HOE [the double standard]

Here's my point of view on the matter.
Ladies, you complain about them
BUT I really don't SEE or UNDERSTAND WHY?

Christina Aguilera really explains in her song, "Can't Hold Us Down" feat. Lil Kim

"if you look back in history
its a common double standared of society.
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
while the girl can do the same but yet you call her a whore.
I don't understand why its okay
the guy can get away with it, the girl gets named." -Xtina

True.
This has been an issue throughout time.
The more girls the dude gets the more of the man homie is.

"Here's something I just cant understand,
if a guy have 3 girls then he's the man.
He can even give her some head or sex her off
but if a girl do the same then shes a whore." -Lil Kim

The lyrics are blunt & abrasive but the truth usually is
and I agree with it [and the lyrics] 100%
Offended?
Well you shouldn't be you see...
I have higher standards for women.
Having hoes is more of man thing!
WOMEN should be ladies and know better that to be treated as such and to even do the same because I feel you should/can/will do better.
Don't get me wrong men shouldn't treat women that way from the beginning but with females on the receiving end or enacting the in such behavior it doesn't make me think you any better of you.

Food for thought,
Michael.

My 2 Cents (Advice...)

Take my advice; I'm not using it anyways...

Well in actuality, you should.

My 2 cent is 2 cent well earn and should be taken with much consideration.
I say this not in conceit or cockiness because that's I'm definitely NOT but because I care enough to give it to you and not see you fail or lose your way. And regardless if you consider me a friend, if I consider you a friend of mine I will honestly do whatever it take to see you make it and never see you cry, hurt or mad.

I realize I give out wise, sound and understanding advice out to friends & family (as I've been told). I know it's because I truly naturally am a nice guy and hate seeing people doing bad & distraught. I genuinely love to see people doing good and thriving on their own 2 feet, making something of themselves.

I know no matter what you're going through there's someone out there who wishes they could walk in your shoes.

So it kills me to see individuals I honestly care about pain, sad, etc. and if as cliche as it sounds I would do anything to turn the frown upside. I've always been the big brother with friends and fam always looking out for everyone and it truly comes from the heart. So know if my words hurt it's 'cause they're a bit blunt but its 'cause I care. And if I'm there for you when you're down or at your lowest then you can rest assure I'll be there when you're feeling good and at your greatest!

Yet I know some people would only listen to me if I was a mp3...
