about

On the day that celebrates the legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther Jr. my mother’s mother, my grandmother’s time expired here. The following Monday was her funeral. The last week or so has been very interesting. What may seem very odd to most is how interesting I find funeral services to be. I’ve been to my fair share over the years. Funerals are a celebration of life.

We rode to the funeral home and passed the old block I lived on for a few years as a child then returned down that same block on the way to the cemetery. I guess being in Harlem and around certain family members this month led me to write “Crack is Wack”. Living in Harlem during the pre Giuliani era (before he got rid of the vendors) was great for me. I have fond memories growing up there if I access them. I lived with my grandmother during those years. Wonder if she ever really thought about the crack that was prevalent in our neighborhood.

lyrics

[Spoken]

Conscious #QuickFact I spent some of my younger years in Harlem. Yes I lived there.

[Verse]

If like the 80’s nigga,
Snatching chains, shakin babies nigga
Aimin at yah baby pictures?
The hell you talkin bout?
Rites of passage, walk about
Stick up kids don’t talkin it out
she picks up bricks and sorts’em out
actually they wooden blocks (yeah)
but she don’t know the difference
nor does she know where her daddy’s blow is hidden
it’s in the stove, they don’t use the kitchen
so it should never ever ever come up missin
missin children, Amber alert
long before planes weren’t missin buildins
yet, still connected
butterfly affected, dragonflies disappeared
I remember countin colors on sidewalks, during those years
Harlem resident, wasn’t raised in the streets
still surrounded by the beast
think about statistics that I beat
friends and fam who defeat
then the ones that overcame the addiction
I maintain a subscription to the street tales
discussion of the retail value of the dope
that I speak every other day of the week

[Spoken]

Say no to drugs.
Crack is wack, nigga...

Conscious is an artist of many facets. A lateral thinker that not only contemplates outside of the boxes that society attempts to create for him, but reshapes them to fabricate art in multiple forms.
