i know I am young gifted and black

I always believe that my generation of african americans take a lot of things for granted, and may sometimes take our present situations in not in the light of a blessing but as a curse. I really do not know what is more beautiful than being young, because no one can ever take our youth away but ourselves. And to ensure out our youth we as a people must continue to take care of ourselves by not being substance abusers, staying in violent relationships, and to participate in criminal activiites. Those are some of the problems that black people have and it really takes a way our youth, purity and our soul.
And to be gifted... I truly do believe everyone has a gift, it is really up to that individual to take their gifts and use to their advntage in a positive way. You do no have to be a drug dealer or con artist to be a businees man. Ladies, we should not have to use our sexuallity as a way to get what we "think" we want. Sometimes having a certain gift does not ensure the things that may appear right to us, sometimes our purpose is not always for us, it could be for someone else.
But to be black...what an honor. Black people are indeed one of the strongest people on this earth. We suffered (as well as in the suffering process) of genocide, being stripped and raped from our true heritage, being conformed into what others think is right, and experiencing self hatred. However, despite all the negative, I beleive blacks still find the way, even though it sometimes it may seem hard to be true to one self, but still have to cater to what others think should be acceptable. But as a black woman, I feel as though nothing can stop me.

i jus love me some johnny

I love myself some jonh legend, like I remeber when i first heard him singing on kanye west hooks, and hearing baby I use to love you when I was in highschool and jus listening to his voice just made me wonder, maybe johnny is the man for me. So I posted up one of his recent works called "goodmorining", and there are no words that litterally explain how I feel about this song. One, i alwyas say goodmorning to people, even when its no longer morning...(something my and I started doin in highschool, and we never stop doing it). And 2, do you hear these lyrics, why wouldn't you want to start your morning without being next to the one you love, and it does not have to be in a boyfriend or girlfriend kissy poo poo type of shyt. Like just waking up in the morning next to your dog or cat, or watever... or just waking up in the morning and being joyful...thats what I want, to wake up to sweet happiness, no problems, no stress, no hassles.

goodmorning to music

reaction to like a dream

chrisette michelle is a more recent jazz singer that I truly beleive knows the meaning of a true love song. Her voice is different from the typical r&b singers of today and i think that it makes her music more soothing and pure. Like a dream is a beautiful song that I bassically listen to everyday...it kind of reminds me of "good morning" by john legend, almost its prelude
