And still I rise..

Turn the music up.. Turn the lights down..
I’m in my zone..
Thank God for granting me..
This moment of clarity..
This moment of honesty..
..Listen closer & you’ll hear what I’m about..

In the words of Shawn Carter..
Feel my truths..

ON RELIGION..
I am a cynic about nearly everything..
I've been to more churches in my life than my number of years on earth..
I've sat to watch wrinkly old men claim to read the future, in the dimly lit shanty huts..
I know verses of the Holy Qua'ran offhand..
I know more verses of the Holy Bible offhand..
I've studied books on.. 'alternative' religions. Until mom got on both knees to beg me.. "Never ever.." she pleaded..
I still can't fathom why people kill themselves to be with 70 virgins in Paradise..?! If I had to go out like that, someone better guarantee 70 prostitutes horny women and a limitless supply of Viagra!

ON SEX..
I stopped counting how many women I'd been intimate with at the age 20..
..But I know how many women I've made love to.
I never keep in touch with ex's I truly cared about..
I don't enjoy sex that much.. Not as much as I enjoy seeing shudders rack a woman's body, as she reaches that peak, and tips over. It's a beautiful thing.
I should do a separate post for sex issues.. whachamicallit? Sex on the Roc’s?! OR Sex does Roc?!.. Or maybe not..

ON GROWING UP & LIFE..
I once slept through an armed robbery at my abode.. Woke up to see bullet shells and machetes outside my bedroom window..
I'm paranoid about getting stabbed on a train..
I hid a forehead injury from my parents for a month by tying a bandana/headscarf and claiming “It's in vogue”
I've had my heart stolen a few times but I've never been robbed..
I've never had an vehicle accident.. But I've been knocked down a few times in this unique journey called life..

And still I rise..
