a poem, because I fucking feel like it
yo adrian, I couldn't do it
the world loves the underdog
but the underdog is everybody except
god's children
or stepkids, whoever is in the will
so we all riddle our way through this mess hoping
just maybe, we're part of the plan
but if you grew up in the rich house
you know it
and the kid with the hole in his shirt
is branded
the underdog loses just as he should
and it's all good
because didn't you know all that matters
is what's inside?
give me a million-to-one shot
just like rock
I bet my nature against
your house
we'll see who comes out on top
Kudos to you.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about this very subject. I'd rather have to work hard for what I get, instead of having it handed to me. "I just don't want to die without a few scars"
Amiright? (:
Get a spark in that head of yours, and don't let anyone blow it out.
I don't live in the suburbs, and I'm not opposed to getting help sometimes, and I'm glad I'm not the rich kid that gets everything I've ever asked for.

i have to agree and say that free shit is awesome. even free stds are better than stds you pay for.
plus, its not your fault that your parents were successfull. if i could id do nothing for the rest of my life and live off a trust fund. give me one reason why that wouldnt be awesome.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want to be given anything, but I still think that struggling, be it financially or emotionally, always has the benefit of learning something valuable. Living too comfortably just doesn't sound like fun to me. haha.

maybe im a dick, but id love to live comfortably. not having enough money to eat sucks.

You're not a dick, and I see where you're coming from. I don't think you have to struggle to the point of starvation to learn something about life, but I don't think I'd want to ever want to be rich because personally, I feel like I'd lose some of the values I've learned because my family hasn't neccessarily been blessed financially. You know?

You know?
just a question, how do you know you won't learn any new and possibly even more important values if you were rich?
for instance, being able to go to poor countries and help people direclty just because you can and have the resources is more rewarding than just calling a toll-free number on tv that flashed right after that starving african kid's picture went up. you can learn life lessons when you are immersed in it rather than just watching from a distance.
same with having the resources to take up the cost of going to med school for example and working probono in third-world countries where they can't afford antibiotics, let alone decent healthcare. the lessons you learn on your journey, i imagine, is a lot more substantial.

Yes it does. This is why I plan to rob my state's Lottery "HeadQuarters"....
theres such a place as a state lottery headquarters? does the legion of doom know about this?
maybe the superfriends already saved the day though.

it's usually in whatever state capital you're around. when we won the megamillions thing a few years ago they just sent us checks. it's not like they got bags of gold laying around or anything.
Oh Jar Jar, every one hates you but me.
fuckabees. anytime i hear headquarters i think super villains attack. i just want to see a bag with a money sign on it. just once.

Don't get me wrong, I thought about this as well. If I were rich, I'd love nothing more than to go to Uganda and help out the Invisible Children orginization. However, I'm looking at all of this from a "kids" perspective. I'm only 18 and I haven't started college yet. Granted, I want to eventually become 'successful' enough to where I can make enough money to be able to help in ways that would be impossible for me at the moment. I'm saying I wouldn't want to be born into a comfortable life. Although I have some amazing friends who've never had to work a day in their lives, I still feel as though sometimes some of them are missing something I'm not, and that is the fact that I've had hard times, and because of them I've become stronger.

My brother used to do security software for the state lottery. Believe me, those people cannot be robbed.
You're lucky you ain't my wife, cause I would slap you in the face many a time like you was Connie Corleone!
"money is the root of all evil." I remember that line from one of Eminem's vents (can't believe I just quoted eminem.)
but alas you fight club fans "your not your fucking khakis." There is hope. I make sure to tell myself this every time my account goes into the negative and I have to pay a fucking overdraw balance.
Everything and I mean everything is a form of control. This is where the choice lies, "would you rather be the one getting shot. Or the one doing the shooting?" quote from the movie Bulletproof Monk.
thank goodness for spellchecks.
Endless repetition. Is so redundant.

I really want to go off on using such goofy things to build ideas from but I can't. One of the most profound things I ever read came from Buckaroo Banzai: across the 8th dimension.
Oh Jar Jar, every one hates you but me.
never read it. sorry. although I'm really into the profound.. and come to think of it I'm into goofy, too. (Not the Disney character.. you know what I mean.) I think profound and goofy make a kickass combo don't you?
Endless repetition. Is so redundant.
id like to bring the conversation back to robbing loterry headquarters
im trying to rustle up a posse, whos in?

I'm in!! I call dibs on the ball ejecter. Always wanted one of those.
Hey!! I got an idea, why don't we steal the ball ejecter then set up our own lottery and make the people that owned the previous lottery play our lottery. But the catch would be if they win, in order to get the money, they would have to chop off a body part... good idea huh?
Now.. to find a warehouse big enough to store all the body parts..... huh... I'm stumped.
Endless repetition. Is so redundant.
I love free stuff. Especially when the people who gave it to me don't even know they gave it to me.
That sir, is a truly elegant phrase. It could quite easily have come out of the mouth of a charecter in story I am constructing at present. Could I have your kind permission to use it if a fitting situation where to arise.
Its not how hard ya rock, its how well ya roll.

You could've just used it without asking me. I would've never even known I gave it to you. I'd be an ironic fit for the sitiation.
I'm not good with too much money. I just wind up spending it on women and booze and being broke again in the end. If I keep myself relatively broke, I can pretend to be an ascetic, but really I just can't afford to have fun.
But I like free stuff to help take the edge off.

Shit, I missed the obvious conclusion and a chance to serve the gods of irony there. I'm not functioning normaly today as I spent all yesterday drinking vodka and schnappes with two twenty five year old girls. I mention the age of the two girls because I'm not sure whats fucked me up more, the fact I drank faf, far far too much or the fact I remained a gentleman, of sorts, with two totaly insane chicks who I've got a good fifteen years on. Sometimes being friends with pretty girls is nothing but a series of head shanks.

whatever.. once you see everyone driving escalades with spinners, sippin' martinis with missing arms and legs you'll coming running back to me and my ball ejecter. You'll realize how brillant my master plan to take over the world is !!!!! (insert evil laugh here)
Endless repetition. Is so redundant.
it's not so much about being proud that you worked hard. it's more about hatred for other's good fortune.
In that case, no kudos for you. I don't think you should be jealous of thers good fortune. I do however think that not matter how shitty your situation is, you should try to find the good things about it all, therefore creating your own good fortune. I agree that a lot of people are fueled by jealousy, but I don't believe everyone is. If someone desires to be successful, it's not neccessarily because they are jealous of someone elses success.

well, guess who's not coming to my birthday party.
you know what the difference is between me and you?
I make life look bad.
Yes - the rhythm, the rebel
Without a pause - I'm lowering my level
The hard rhymer - where you never been I'm in
You want stylin' - you know it's time again
D the enemy - tellin you to hear it
They praised the music - this time they play the lyrics
Some say no to the album, the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know - you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical - yes to make it critical
The only part your body should be parting to
Panther power on the hour from the rebel to you
Radio - suckers never play me
On the mix - just O.K. me
Now known and grown when they're clocking my zone it's known
Snakin' and takin' everything that a brother owns
Hard - my calling card
Recorded and orderd - supporter of Chesimard
Loud and proud kickin' live next poet supreme
Loop a troop, bazooka, the scheme
Flavor - a rebel in his own mind
Supporter of my rhyme
Designed to scatter a line of suckers who claim I do crime
Terminator X
From a rebel it's final on black vinyl
Soul, rock and roll comin' like a rhino
Tables turn - suckers burn to learn
They can't dis-able the power of my label
Def Jam - tells you who I am
The enemy's public - they really give a damn
Strong Island - where I got 'em wild and
That's the reason they're claimin' that I'm violent
Never silent - no dope gettin' dumb nope
Claimin' where we get our rhythm from
Number one - we hit ya and we give ya some
No gun - and still never on the run
You wanna be an S.1 - Griff will tell you when
And then you'll come - you'll know what time it is
Impeach the president - pullin' out the ray-gun
Zap the next one - I could be you're Sho-gun
Suckers - don't last a minute
Soft and smooth - I ain't with it
Hardcore - rawbone like a razor
I'm like a lazer - I just won't graze ya
Old enough to raise ya - so this will faze ya
Get it right boy and maybe I will praise ya
Playin' the role I got soul too
Voice my opinion with volume
Smooth - no what I am
Rough - cause I'm the man
No matter what the name - we're all the same
Pieces in one big chess game
Yeah - the voice of power
Is in the house - go take a shower boy
P.E. a group, a crew - not singular
We were black Wranglers
We're rap stranglers
You can't angle us - I know you're listenin'
I caught you pissin' in you're pants
You're scared of us dissin' us
The crowd is missin' us
We're on a mission boy
Terminator X
Attitude - when I'm on fire
Juice on the loose - electric wire
Simple and plain - give me the lane
I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley
See the car keys - you'll never get these
They belong to the 98 posse
You want some more son - you wanna get some
Rush the door on a store - pick up the album
You know the rhythm, the rhyme plus the beat is designed
So I can enter your mind - Boys
Bring the noise - my time
Step aside for the flex - Terminator X
