On of my faves!
[Verse 1]

I am Posdnous
I be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
the pile of revenue I create
But I guess I don’t get a cut cuz my rent’s a month late
Product of a North Carolina cat
who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie
Who departed life just a little too soon
and didn’t see me grab the Plug Tune fame
As we go a little somethin’ like this
look ma, no protection
Now I got a daughter named Ayana Monay
And I can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
so the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay
I am an early bird but the feathers are black
so the apples that I catch are usually all worms
But it’s a must to decipher one’s queen
from a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ
I cherish the twilight
I maximize, my soul is the right size
I watch for the power to run out on the moon
(And that’ll be sometime soon)
Faker than a fist of kids
speakin that they’re black

I loved “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker” sample in the track also, grabbed me instantly.

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

Blue Lines Blog – What I learned/Experienced (last two weeks)

30 Sunday Jan 2011

Tags

Blue Lines, De La Soul, Joi, Joi Gilliam, Keypsiia, Little Dragon, Mase, Roy Hargrove, San Francisco, Starbucks, The Masquerade, Wine, Yoshi San Francisco

Learning how to listen.
Learning how to be even.
Discovering music that I slept on from one of my favorite artists.
Outfitting my youngest nieces.
Reverse jetlag stinks.
Change is good.
Putting people onto music is cool.
With my catalogue, being put onto music is even better.
Are thoughts reciprocal?
Being humble enough to know that after 409 pages, my manuscript needs work.
Accidentally happening upon the Starbucks Coffee that opens my manuscript.
The iPhone Starbucks card app is great.
Certain beliefs and ideas that you hold, don’t always apply to everything/everyone.
Talking is good, but listening and allowing someone to talk can be so rewarding.
I realized that readers of my manuscript have no clue what Keypsiia looks like.
Building relationships with people in my field that I would just know by face alone.
Life is short, moments are fleeting…make everything worth it.
Learning to not to stress on things more than I need to.
Airports excite me because I always know I’m leaving.
Life is cool during those simple moments, the cool clear mind moments.
Everyone should have a theme song, what’s yours?
Life should have a soundtrack.
Seeing Little Dragon live was great, I was kind of surprised that for $15 there were two opening acts and a show that ran into the wee hours. Joi Gilliam’s attendance and seeing De La Soul attend and introduce, was not shabby either.
Concerts on a school night (Tuesday) don’t make for good sleep.
Boats…I still have to warm up to them.
It was great to see a great friend after a long span of years. I hope to not wait that long to see each other again.
The conversation I had on the second leg of my flight back home was the most unexpected, rewarding conversation lately. I’m really trying out this listening thing.
Debating about music is great!!!
It was great to see a former intern (or Trainee as they were termed) after a long time since 2002, doing the same thing I do. And she’s married with children.
Yoshi’s San Francisco Jazz Club is the bomb.

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998.
