And So Jena Burns

[hiphopnation]

while we sit here and slap eachother over the head with the night-stick of subtleties surrounding the Iran/Ahmadinejad issue, we have here, within our very own borders a war that rages, a war from the 50s and 40s and 30s that rears its ugly head TODAY. Arguably the same subtitles that W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. argued over 50+ years ago!

Why do we focus our efforts on petty dictators overseas, dictators that Bush cronies have forced us to focus on and ignore the civil war that still rages here within our own borders?! Wake up, people. There are more important battles to be fought here at home, and the likes of talented, whip-smart individuals such as yourselves are needed to rally support, to stand against the injustices that occur right here, right outside your front door, in front of the building that you work in every day.

Ahmadinejad is a total fucking asshole AND Columbia should have allowed him to speak. SO FUCKING WHAT!?!?

Bumfuck Louisiana is still populated with a completely racist power-structure that disperses justice unequally depending on the FLESH TONE of the offending party! I ask you, which is issue is more deserving of your scorn and attention?!?!

i leave you with the words of Z RO, rapper from Houston, Texas. REFLECT ON THIS:

When the fetti be rollin' setty, won't nobody be home
When the money start lookin' funny, all my friends get gone
Concerts and studio times, they love to come and kick it
But without gas money Z-ro gone miss it
I thought to myself, this feels like nobody hear me
Even though I screamin' I must be a demon cuz won't nobody come near me
People laugh at me because I ain' got respect like faith
F**k respect I do this to keep a ride and a place
Will I survive cuz God is watchin'
Satan takin' my sanity please God stop it
Im feelin' like Snoop cuz murder is the case that they gave me
They knew I ain' do it, but just to they permission they wanna hang me
I'm feelin' like Jesus when he was about to be crucified
Please everyone if you don't help me then you could die
Suicide is safety, but it's definite hell
Somebody dead and I'm stressin' in jail
I'm sangin' the blues

(Hook)
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was just to make a lil' change
I'm real but n****s still talk downon my name
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was to be in the rap game
Cuz my people step on me like I'ma flow mad fame

(Z-ro)
I'm used to mother organizations, and locs of my own
Evaporate like brillo, when fiends smokin' that stones
That's the way we live in the ghetto, if we could we'd change
But don't nobody love us but trouble, so that's why we bang
Many funerals to go to, I don't go to none
Never look in a pinebox, until I see Z-ro in one
Ain' no future in front, and I'm scared to be decease
But it seems like the only way a guerilla-mobb gangsta gone see peace
Cuz mama waitin' on me, her grandma Bezzy
Tellin' me ain' no hatas in heaven, or detectives to sweat me
And a mansion a home in the ground, that'll be mine
Hand ready singin' praises to God that'll be fine
Plus they tell me the streets made of gold
Here people murder peole, the webbin' in heaven is under your toes
It ain' hard doin' right, it's just hard to succeed
I wanna live but it's hard to breathe
It got me singin' blues

(Hook)
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was just to make a lil' change
I'm real but n****s still talk downon my name
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was to be in the rap game
Cuz my people step on me like I'ma flow mad fame

(Z-ro)
I came along way, but it's still alot of road up ahead
To be honest I'm feelin' like I'm suppose to be dead
People feelin' like I suppose be happy cuz I'm makin' some ends
But I'm lonely cuz I cannot communicate with my friends
N****s I grew up with, be actin' like we ain' grow up together
F**k hoes, and po' up together
N**** you cried on my shoulders and I cried on yours
Yeah you rode on my enemies, so I ride on yours
But it's a different day and time
And we don't even kick it
Ain' nobody got to holla no mo' it's strictly buisiness
But I tell you this, I will always have love for ya
The same n**** b**** I still shed blood for ya
The same n**** blood b**** I love ya
I went to school to fight n****s for you,
Even though we wasn't blood brothers
F**k that, we was brothers
What we is now
I can't do nothin' but continue my years out
But it's all gravy, ain' nobody gotta chill with
Only thing I ask n**** keep it real with me

(Hook)
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was just to make a lil' change
I'm real but n****s still talk downon my name
Everyday I'm still goin' through the samethang
I'm tryin' so hard just to maitain
All I ever wanted was to be in the rap game
Cuz my people step on me like I'ma flow mad fame
