I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer
I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer

I'm just being myself
Plus I gotta be me too
Silly of me to think that
I couldn't bring myself to be you
Ah but behold there is benevolence
Behind this but don't stare though
Be careful cause I'll kill you
With kindness
That why I'm dressed quite neatly
Cause Its easy and discreetly they seek me
And when they reach me and see me
they believe me completely
I'm a real live wire I ain't lying
If its between me and you I ain't dying
I can transform, I can transform, I can transform
Without even trying wow

I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer
I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer

Now I'm someone else
Now someone can be me too
Behold the beautiful and bold
everyday I
Wake up to be new
Oh but its simple but they still can understand why
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can or can I
I'm a microchip off the old block
You know not but I was a robot
And I sold Rock and you would get
For sho shoot with a gold glock boy I rode pac
Something that you won't see again
What the hell might as well be a friend
I can transform, I'm a transformer
No telling who I will have to be again

I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer
I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer

cyberspace

hhmhm sigh
lips tight
staring at you
computer screen
waiting for you to
tell me what to do
besides what i'm doing
already
which is work on you
but i rather not
i rather lay
inside
your cyberspace
and be away
from the analog
taking too long
to penetrate
i hesitate
cuz its unfamiliar
but i want it bad
feels like familia
like home
cuz home is foreign
can't seem to find a friend
'cept for you
so i'm waiting for you to hold my hand
and tell me what to do
besides what i'm doing already
let's go steady
cuz i'm steady in a daze
in a amaze
ment
why do u torment
me
leaving me
on the outside
of your space
let me in to your digital underground
i'll abscond and get lost in your found
find me
i'll be here
staring
waiting
for u
to
take me
...

JUSLISSEN
this jus don't make no sense...thanx for puttin me on yaw!

wooooooh

truth

for you i will
die
for you i will awaken and
rise
for you i will protect
from the dangers of truth
but for you
never will i hide
what they don't reveal in your
youth
the fiction we are told
the lies we are sold
does not develop
into its prequel and sequel
that you now behold
in the cradle of your mind
rests unrest
for overwhelming revelation
fills your breast
and for you
i will reveal more
but not to lead to your demise
but to induce restor
ation
meditation
still
be it your will
what is mine
be it your will
what i have designed
for you i will
give you ease of mind
but to ease
means to release
one from captivity
and i tell you
the price for freedom
is not tranquility
but war
for you i will
help you to know
what you are fighting for
me
you are fighting
for
me
Goddess
I are you
relentless
in all i do
to marry you
with love
to unveil
what truly
you are made of
see
open unto
me
see
that you
are me
and for you
i will
stop at nothing
to give you
everything

who cares about sports...this is about me...hehe

CHURCH WAS AWESOME TODAY...soo good

these r my notes:

The Measurement of a Queen/ King
How to Effect Your Generation

Acts 13:36
2nd Kings 24, 25: 27-30

You only have one life to live.
you're given a time, what will you do with it?

*side note: [Queendom= Queen's domain]
A queen has influence over her domain

Old testament is the New Testament concealed.
the New Testament is the Old testament Revealed

Life is not measured by duration , but by donation.

2nd Kings 24: 8 (Case study: Jehoiakim King of Judah)
Heaven's Measurement:
Measurement of duration includes:

1. age at which you assumed your throne (18 yrs.)
   
2. Stage of maintenance -how long you ruled (3 months)
   

Measurement of donation includes:

1. Apprenticeship: who influenced you (His mother, Nehushta -A mother's influence is paramount)
   
2. Leadership: who you influenced ("He did evil in the eyes of Lord..." scripture says he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not in the eyes of the people...let it marinate)

King Jehoakim was not a good King, but he got all the things we ask for:

• Got new clothes
• Was close with King Merodach of Babylon
• ate at the King's table
• and had a set salary for all the days of his life

BUT

King Jehoakim, was a king of prisoners, captives, slaves.
He had limited Freedom:

• A prisoner himself, but moved up to the highest ranks, being a king of the prisoners.
• so he was able to rule the vicinity of the prison, but not anywhere beyond the prison gates.
• Its like the Devil says you can go to church, but you can be a good liar -this is limited freedom, you are still captive to the Devil's rule
• Another analogy for limited freedom: The chickens for christmas dinner get fed and fed before they are killed so they can be nice and fat for our tummies. But to that chicken, he is the King chicken getting breakfast in bed, not having to look for food but food is looking for him. To him, he's got it made...not knowing that the one who is feeding him, is the one who will kill him. Meanwhile the chicken who has to look for her own food, and is skinny is the one that is truly free.

The purpose of a queen is to protect her territory. The prison is not the territory of a queen.

• The devil will feed you enough and clothe you enough to make you forget your destiny.

God said make me rich. (How can you make God rich?) Give unto me what is mine. What is the Lord's? Not the dollar bill, with the image of a dead prez, but Her children, with the image of God on us. We were made in His image, all children.

The greatest lie the devil told God's children, was that He would make us Kings and Queens of Prisoners.

*side not: [A friend loves you the way you are. A mentor loves you too much to leave you the way you are]

You Queendom is not church, it is anywhere you influence.
God will not measure a church by how many it is seating, but by how many it is reaching.

Help us not to be blinded by the comfort and convenience of the devil.

............thats all i had written...it was way more effective being in the church. but i still wanted to pass the message along. i was doing a lot of mmmhming today...it was just good.

how was ur evening?

oh boy

i just had a bad dream. God forbid it! but I woke up to a beautiful text. God bless it. mmhm what next? Praise the Lord

what was before... mhhmm i ate alone at the Bombay Indian Restaurant on campus. It was super fulfilling. I couldn't ask for more or less. As I was eating I was accompanied via a phone conversation until my phone lost juice and died, then I was accompanied by my thoughts, then a song along the walk home. then i resorted to my thoughts again, which turned into a gchat convo, which turned into me watching Martin on this here blog page. then sleep, dream, wake, text, blogging.

and thats how it went.

how was ur evening?

welcome

u ever wanna sit back and watch life on tv
but the kinda life w/ no cameras
but ur watchin
maybe like God
but without the responsibility of God, like answering prayers, showing mercy, forgiveness, etc.
so neway u watch and u decide to jump in when ur ready
kinda like double dutch
when u feel like u've seen enuff
and u wanna play the game now
and u know exactly what role u wanna play too
u know where u wanna get in
u see where u fit in
and u play
at ur own risk tho....
but i wonder
if u knew what was to come
would u still wanna play
if u knew what life was all about
would u play
u saw all the successes
all the sufferings
all the goods
alll the evils
all the opportunities
all the limitations
would u play

i wonder what i was designed to do
to be
to know
to say
how to do what i am designed to do
i wish i could sit and watch
and jump in when i'm ready
but we're kinda thrown in
so u best be ready
whether
ur ready or not
here we come

we came
did we see
did we conquer?
