Prawject Revolution (2005)

He said he was “in his own world” the past few days...
I’m like, “I feel ya.”
We discuss tattoos--a good form of self-expression in my view.
Easy too.
Then he puts a project to my Evolution.
I already got Revolutionizes in ink...
Now Prawject Revolution?
You never saw me before...
Lookin’ out the window at black night, thought I was in space for...
Well, I don’t know, my mind fights a war.
Said I was a book too, I’m just thinkin’, “You saw.”
Oh, he saw also.
Be careful, cuz if you follow--where the leader falls you all go.
How can one be charmed by a sociopath?...
Who says he’s puttin’ on an act?
It’s all part of his personality, just switches with a snap.
Different Thoughts, Experiences, Memories, Environments, and other everyday circumstances and Moods change people’s
personas and mold them, not good or bad, just IS, as Bruce Lee would say.

Prawject Revolution, got nothin’ else ta live for.

Thanks to Dicky Bourbeau for the name Prawject Revolution, which he said came from a concert tour. The concept between
us started out as an idea for a tattoo, but after he said it, it marinated in my head and became something much bigger in my
heart. I changed the spelling of Project to Prawject

Prawject Revolution is not just the name of a book. We, the people of this world, can change things for the better, maybe we
can’t, who knows? But we can try.

This ain’t about buyin’ or sellin’...
It’s about tryin’, not failin’.

Really, if we took it slow, you know, they say “Each One Teach One”?
Speak son.

If you don’t judge or hate, just ‘live and let live,’ if you stop taking for greed and just take what you need, if you put yourself in
someone else’s position, if you listen to the concepts that the children are expressing to you, shit, the world for our future might
be emotionally easier. But not just emotionally for us humans, but overall for all species, for the whole planet maybe, which, for
you selfish muthafuckas such as myself, means in turn a better overall life for us. But yo, what do I know? I’m just rantin’ like Dennis Miller.

This Prawject Revolution--it doesn’t even mean a revolution against the governments in this world. When this dude asked me what
I wanted to start a revolution against, I said that it wasn’t necessarily against anything or anyone, just a revolution in favor of a better
world. And I can’t start a revolution, cuz this existence is constantly in a state of Evolution. One thing to remember is that Evolution
seems like it is neverending, therefore, so would be this Prawject Revolution. What you and I can do is try to make it more peaceful
for the living beings coming up behind us. The people currently affiliated with the governments, and involved in the political affairs of
today and tomorrow can be a major force in this revolution, but they must realize that they are not superior. If changes are made in
this world, they must be for the better of All of Us, not just some politicians and their buddies. Of course, there will always be a few
power-hungry, greedy bastards. The rest of us must do what we can to overpower their selfish quests. If we were to overthrow the current
“leaders” and anyone associated with them, or hoping to be like them, we could not then become drunk with power and greed as they have.
We could really make a positive change, starting at home, then branching out to other towns, cities, states, countries/nations. This positive
change will probably have to first start with the accumulation of much money and REAL people who are up for a revolution. Healing?

The only hate I have with this Prawject Revolution shit is for the fake. If you’re real, you can come along. Real with yourself. And don’t forget ,
if at times throughout this book, it seems that I’m still filled with rage and hate, it’s because I’m still progressing from aggression as well.

PRAWJECT REVOLUTION
You saw?
We can do this ya’ll.
This ain’t about race, color, creed...
Sexual preference, disability, disease, insecurity.
This is about Peace.
Peace throughout everywhere that we’ll ever know exists.
Peace among us, peace in our hearts, hopefully.

Wonder if I’m crazy or if I really can spark this and have my real men and women Set It Off...
This don’t have to turn into a job...
This can be in all aspects of life we breathe
If we chill out and move away from the materialistic trappings, and see what nature sees.
But society will go on tomorrow, and other societies will go on as well...
And since it will, I feel like hell...
But I’ll live and die in an attempt to cast this spell.

But you know, a lot of times we humans think above ourselves, over our heads, beyond our limits. But are the “limits” only figments of our imaginations?

Got the word AMBITION tattooed on my ribcage. What I meant with it:

In the New Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of Ambition is: Desire of preferment or power.

The definition of Preferment is: Act of preferring

The definition of Prefer is: To bring or lay before; to present, as a petition, etc; to exalt, to set higher in estimation; to choose rather.

And that, the definition of Prefer, is what I meant with the word AMBITION. Everything I say or write, I bring to you and lay before you. I present
these things to you. These are pleas to better this world. We should all, I feel, have higher expectations, if not for us, then for the upcoming
generations. I feel that we accept too little, morally, however you wanna put it. We need to set the standards higher and hold these politicians and
cops and teachers to the responsibilities that they choose to take on. Honesty is somethin’ I’d rather choose. But to tell the truth--I lie too.

Thanks to Tupac Shakur--for sparking my brain.

Thanks to all other artists (authors, musicians, filmmakers, actors, philosophers, and general everyday thinkers) for inspiring me and teaching me.
Now muthafuckas use “soldier” like it’s a fad. Everybody’s “gangsta” even if they ain’t got no heart. To me a soldier is someone who won’t be knocked
off their path until their neck cracks, car crash, get stabbed, gun blasts, healthy body deteriorates and does the death spazz.

Where the SOLDIERS at?

Stands
Overcomes
Leads
Defends
Invokes
Endures
Revolutionizes

I once heard Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC say that “If you can picture something in your mind, it’s a possibility.” So imagine all the positive possibilities
we can picture for these kids growing up. Let’s do somethin’ with them. Rest in Peace Lisa Lopes.
