Passion

Passion- a powerful emotion such as love, joy, hatred or anger...

see, niggaz in our generation lack passion

passion for something means you'll do it for nothing; but self pleasure.
"Nigga I'm gettin money!"... man, fuck money!
get wealthy on dedication, persistence and will. Intangible assets they cant take from you.

That's what I call residual income...

Passion- a powerful emotion such as love, joy, hatred or anger.
see, niggaz in our generation lack passion.

Now I love my black folk, but I hate niggaz with a passion.
Them niggaz be imitating dudes with their own generic makeups on music videos and shit.

Now what they're representing is a double negative...
them some sad ass dudes forreal.

See, my passion keeps me bleeding tree sap, a little from my pencil and a little from my paper.

Its what keeps me up at night

like your next door neighbors going for round 2,
or you scrolling through the phone book looking for a round 1...

its that love hate relationship like my ex girlfriend in high school....

its the audacity of hope from the balck president

its like laying your life on the line fighting for self equality

its like shoveling the snow off the basketball court and shooting 1000 jumpshots with a deflated soccer ball....

its like winning the Tour de France AFTER defeating cancer.

its like winning 8 gold medals in one OlympicTour and get caught hitting the bong afterwards...

its like selling out the Madison Square Garden in a matter of minutes not to watch Spike Lee trip a ref but just to spit that raw shit...ugh!

Its what keeps my brain thirsty, not only for oxygen, but the thirst of expression.

its...its...its...fuck it, whats your passion?
