The Perspective PT.9 (Flashback Friday Edition)

What's the perspective? those that disrespected had the nerve to say they had a Fresh Vision..

What's the perspective? of course a dude didn't do what was expected, he had a Different Vision..

What's the perspective? pathways were displayed, but there were no bells or whistles / no LED lights or spotlights.

What's the perspective?  math is displayed in response, beats thump and this good word is dropped:  check these insights as constituents in some of these spots such as immigrants demand rights. 

What's expected? wrath is displayed by these  Trump aka Agent Orange types; some are dismayed!!  rights and privileges soon revoked? 

Diversionary tactics? check the mathematics per laughter from the inside,  after plotters and schemers joked!
 
Revolutionary tactics?  transmitting live from a remote outpost,  minding and tending!  "Taking Care of Business"

Didn't shuck or jive, we've got Diplomatic Immunity..knowing that God is in the blessing business

Worldwide!! that's part of this perspective, so what's the business?  like Russian election hacking will there be interference?  had to admit we left, but even dipped back to your community!! like Scarface and Jay-Z guess who's back? per this Flashback Friday the hiatus is over...

Worldwide!! but actually the perspective is intergalactic!! a dude was on Mars cruising the ocean, on a Flashback Friday listening to Billy Ocean's Love Zone!! now moving back down to earth to repel the hostile takeover...

Homicide to genocide? disrespect part of a hot style makeover? atrocities from Trump so called inner cities to the Mideast per sending troops to the sands of Syria? 

We continue to ride down I-20 in Atlanta, perspective is altered by the proceedings but we continue; still proceeding!! dealing with the mass hysteria...

The Perspective PT.8 (Throwback Thursday Edition)

It's going down!! check the perspective on this Throwback Thursday!!  a dude is dropping this science like bowel movements.  

It's going down!! some disrespected like Trump vs the Intelligence agencies;  attitudes?  some were copping!!  I spot signs of foul movements. 

Longitude and latitude are determined,  I see the movements / I see  them swerving!!  some say its chaotic like the White House. 

Your wrong dude!!  that's what thought and fashion police said about these Thursday Thoughts /  this insight, that I mixed with jazz, funk,  and house. 

Oh yes!! house music,  along with hip hop!! spiritual healing!!  the opposite of Chinese torture chambers or Gitmo waterboarding?

Do It Fluid like the Blackbyrds? the water will drip drop!!  please!! from the "get go"  I knew some weren't on one accord "in this thing"

Check the perspective; a brotha is dropping this good word per reflecting in the Honda Accord while rolling down I-20 in Atlanta with these disappointed Atlanta Falcons fans.

Check the perspective; rolling up I-85 towards Doraville / Chamblee and Clarkston;  constituents lay low because of the ICE raids and the immigration ban. 

What's up man? that's what dude asked me at the Quik Trip service station over on Wesley Chapel Road in Decatur, before asking me to buy him some gas...

I said man please!! my tank is near empty!! that's what I told him; greenbacks? I didn't fold them!! now a hater says I have no class..

The perspective shows me there's a class war as haters raise the bar; my constituents are out here struggling...  

This perspective is dropped on what I call a Throwback / Thirsty Thursday as hunger and thirst will be the fuel to keep us moving...

Trying To Get In Where You Fit In PT.7

 Feeling some kind of way about it,  having my doubts about it;  somebody might get fired like Michael Flynn. 

Feeling some kind of way about it,  having my doubts about it; who's wasting time trying to get in where you fit in?

The real thing? nobody can be you but you!! that's word from Steve Arrington!!

The music will play and this unconventional sermon is wrote!!  a beat and a quote rebukes the shady dealing. 

Broadcasting live!! chilling in a remote outpost keeping a low profile like I was immigrants in Chamblee / Doraville or Clarkston Georgia hiding from ICE agents. 

No shucking and jiving,  it's the real thing!!  although "it ain't nothing nice" as fouls were flagrant. 

Check out the rest of this article at  Random Thoughts From A Brotha: Trying To Get In Where You Fit In PT.7

The I-20 Chronicles (We're Trying To Catch Up)

I-20 Chronicle business takes place, we're trying to catch up but delayed by the blue lights special on Candler Road by South Dekalb Mall. 

I thought K-Mart was closing stores,  but Dekalb Police were batching up suspects /  racking up scores;  so what's up y'all? 

...Plus perpetrators tried to rack up scores,  the economy has them pulling Plan Z capers. 

...Plus haters from ICE were up on Buford Highway  in Chamblee / Doraville gaffling immigrants that did or didn't have their papers. 

Trouble doesn't last always per the old sister at the church; like  Oroville Dam evacuees going back home  it tapers off. 

Double for the trouble?  blessings received in the next episode? oh yes, but old dude at the church had me tripping!! saw him praying one minute and cursing the next!!  so what's up? damn!! he was going off!!

Double trouble? Trump Pence with the debatable circumstance? now Michael Flynn will step off.. 

What's up brotha? that's what dude asked me over at the Shell gas station off of I-20 and Panola Road in Lithonia / Stonecrest!! he was looking bummy like he was in a rough circumstance,  rocking the scully and winter coat in 70 degree Atlanta weather!!  but he had to step off!!

The steps he took? they  were off!! I caught him counting his bankroll / money on the sly then he turned around and asked me for money!!  man please!!

...Said he reps the NYC but the ATL life / strife had his game off; I guess it's like he was put out of Madison Square Garden like Charles Oakley, he wasn't at ease!!

Meanwhile Roddy White reps the ATL life / strife per the Kyle Shanahan play calling in the Super Bowl..

Meanwhile we drop this insight per the ATL life / strife, but who'll understand these reflections?  we're trying to catch up, down I-20 we continue to roll!!
