Caught In Traffic Behind The Chevy Trail Blazer

Rolling down I-85 in Atlanta; stuck in traffic...I'm behind the Chevy Trail Blazer. 

Rolling with the O-Dog sound...Transmitting Live; who'll understand a bruh?  they say I'm cutting up like Vladimir Putin...but I'm dedicated to the truth...no disputing it...but they say I'm acting out like Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace when they were a Portland Jail Blazer! 

Surviving...dipped through the Portland area in Louisville in the Checker Cab...I avoided those chicks from the Beecher Terrace projects that carried razors; they were ready to cut a fool! 

Surviving...a veteran now coaching all up in the sport again..check the breakbeat science dropped..trying to reach ya...this is the next school...

Surviving....arriving in Atlanta...riding in the hooptie listening to Ramsey Lewis; Sun Goddess; Morris Baxter was playing it on WCLK! 

Shucking and jiving?  Oh No! I'm not rolling like the rest of the actors and actresses out here on I-85....unlike the Chevy Trail Blazer...I'm putting work in; but I do take time to play!

....Plus I take time to pray; Lord Help! Lord Help! is the battle cry; hoping I don't get road rage! 

Check the moves that are made; there stealth!! watch your spiritual health..soon the global warming will end the Ice Age! 

Check the moves that are made; as I engage my mind, body, and spirit; dipping around the Chevy Trail Blazer that's holding up traffic!

Felt the rage!! but now I'm in chill mode...so amazing like Luther!! I had to ignore a fanatic!

Felt the rage..now I drop mathematics like Higgs Boson data collected by the Hadron Collider....had to tell some..it's like this and like that...


Felt the rage..writing this at the exact moment of the Lunar Eclipse
now a brotha dips..tired of dealing with these lunatics..they're hating on this freedom rider..they were waiting in the dark; as we bring the light back..


The engine engages in the old hooptie...I dip around the Chevy Blazer that was lolly gagging..


Turning pages...moving on to the next..wishing it was simple but of course it's complex..but I'm still swagging...

The Holding Pattern...

What it do? Seems like were over Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta...or in Bakersfield California...in a holding pattern.

Acting like we knew...bringing Intergalactic funk!! straight from Mars and Saturn.

Able to recognize the pattern..so like old school baptist preachers told us to do..we govern ourselves accordingly.

Haters try to front on us...left the hood..love abandoned us like Rose Royce..like some left Yemen...now telling us where the boundary will be.

Told us to act in an orderly fashion and stop tripping...but were already out there.

Not big pimping!! rocking the thrift store fashion..actually the uniform for spiritual warfare.

As we go there!!! New Year...2010...trying to follow the Masters Plan.

Thinking of a master plan like Eric B and Rakim!! then sync it up with God's will.

Also rolling down I-20 here in Atlanta...up in the hooptie listening to EPMD..."you gots to chill."

Told my people they gots to know the deal!!! listening to WCLK playing Quincy Jones...Just Like That then next up was The BlackByrds Walking In Rhythm..recognize the real..

I heard what the so called powers that be said!!! all they kicked were lies.

I heard the clock ticking..the last hour is approaching..my folk will get victimized..

Trying to shoot three pointers..but just bricking..others say it's not tricking if you got it..had some of my folk chasing the so called prize.

Not cute..they didn't anoint us...but it's alright..we already broke it down to size...

Others are Going in circles like the Gap Band sang..or even Billy Preston..the apparatus had them stressing.

Some didn't know to look up to God..for the true blessing.

Others play the truth game...confessing to authorities...it's detrimental to the family.

Intergalactic...but back on this planet, usually taken for granted, maybe somebody understands me.
