His Words

KANYE WEST: WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS,
REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE
GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY
NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED,
INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE F**KING ROCK STARS BABY. NO
COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NI**AS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN
FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SH*T
ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE
LIVE IT MAN. F**K THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH
US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL
HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A
MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE
WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY
COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS
ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL
IS THE SH*T, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL
TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU
SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL F**K YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR
BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING???
OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR
COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY
UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE
SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN
AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER
THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY NI**AS, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE
WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS
SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR
APOLOGIES!!!
