To My Aunt, The Junkie, Who Stays Stuck In Her Teens Because That Dope Stunted Her Growth…

I’ve no qualms about stating that I’m not a huge fan of female MC’s.
But I’m quick to give credit where it’s due…and Jean moved me with this track.
“Listen, there’s nothing like knowin’ yourself
Like the way I know that smokin’s kind of broken my health
Like the way I know my flow don’t make appropriate wealth
I can’t change that
But funny I’m sayin’ that when it’s money I’m aimed at
I give a fuck if you frame that or quote it (shit)
I meant what I said cuz I wrote it, point noted
I know I’m overly sensitive when it comes to, well
Just about everything
And I’m so hardheaded, I don’t need your help
Like no advice for these records ‘less it’s me, myself
Like I don’t ever want to breathe if it requires assistance
Just, just shut down my system…
…I yell too much, get stressed too quick
But the best thing about it, I can change that shit
And still remain who I came down to Earth to be
It’s not Jean Grae, that’s just a name, you’ll see”
Also, I have no qualms in telling you that, as I get older, I’m learning more about myself as well…and it’s tough decision - to decide whether to accept the challenges of trying to grow and progress as a person…or saying “fuck it, this is me.” Tinkering with the idea of trust & allowing others in, knowing that no man lives alone & that we’re all connected & dependent in some form…
So, it took a woman like Jean to put this man’s current mindstate into words when no other rapper could.

I promise we’re cousins or somethin’…
Came into work this morning and wrote “I got some things to work on…” on the white board at work just to remind me of the need for to improve my attitude. A few hours later, make the trek to TSS after getting the TY e-mail and read this post. Cousins, at minimum.
What’s up with a Smoking Session for Gotty and Delinda J. Who are ya’ll??? Way more interesting then a Jim Jones sit- will be.
The Smoking Section is doin their thing. Love checkin it everyday. Keep up the good work.
Any chance at a re-up of My Chemical Romance, the link is down.
Thanks and keep doin’ it.
TC - Delenda says nobody is interested in hearing about us LOL.
MEFDOC - I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks man

I’d interessted in it, all of you guys involved. Whether it’s a session or a 15 minutes, you guys owe that much.
Stephen - We just might be related lol. I’m tellin you my dude, gettin older ain’t damn easier. somebody lied.
I would buy drinks for Jean and make love to her later in less than a heartbeat
