Keep It Real: The Tell All Saga of Lexus and Malik

By Kaishau Carr

Keep It Real is a novel about the true events of Lexus and Malik. It is the tell all saga, the deep things Malik did not tell
you. There are similar events in this book to Malik's version but it goes a little deeper and into more detail; for instance, Malik did not
tell you what type of man he is with his women, the abuse, and the forbidden secrets he hid about his sexuality, and the cold hearted
nature he has towards his children, the compulsive lies, and the deceit, and how he really has a condescending hate towards women.

It all started out in a small town in the East Coast. I grew up in a small suburban area and was not exposed to too much of the outside world. My curiosity took me into the negative life style that I experienced when I walked in my own path at an early age before I was ready to even experience life. That was a long horrible path of secrets, deceit, abuse and human behaviors that I have never imagined. Some never find there way back but thanks to the Most High , I did not stray too far away and all was not lost. Today I encourage women and others in abusive, and difficult relationships and situations that they are not alone and there is help, and you don't have to stay in these nonproductive situations. You have to see it for what it is and elevate your mind and the rest will follow.

The reason why the readers would be interested in my unique voice as an author is because I have a message to tell the women that have been in abusive and demanding relationships that gave taken so much out of them until they have lost themselves. It is a nurturing device to let them know that they are not alone and some one else has experienced it too and has come through it in a positive light. I also want to tell the truth and let the men know that Malik's story was and is not as pretty as he painted it, and the truth needs to be told about the events that took place so that we all can stand up and take responsibility to be honest so that we can help our selves and others to make a true change. The truth can set so many hurt and lost people free. I have counseled so many lost and hurt women and men to find the right direction. I have been a crisis counselor starting at the age of 16 when I was a lost soul myself. I have studied psychology, sociology, and took many healthcare, and social science classes to understand humans and how they function. I am also a very spiritual individual and have always been.

Introduction

Hello, everyone. This is Kaishau, a.k.a. Lexus in The Autobiography of Malik. I am writing this book because I read author Billy’s, a.k.a. Malik’s, autobiography. I was moved by the fact that he left out so much that should have been in the book.

When a brother truly changes, it’s from the inside out. It takes a bit more than a change of clothes; it takes change of character. When you come to a place in your life where you want to walk out of it, you look back at the good, the bad, and the ugly, and you don’t have a problem sharing those past experiences because you aren’t living them anymore. Walking out of a life of being the abuser, the deadbeat dad, or the drug dealer/user, you will no longer be the victim but the victor. You will scream to the world, I have been there, but I have seen the light. I am not there anymore! But to try to impress and not be real is sad. To be a role model and inspire others, you must be real. The world is full of fakes. We don’t need to deceive our young men; they don’t need to be entertained to change and turn their lives around. They need strong men who have been there, done that, and perfected change while keeping it real.

I am definitely not the bitter ex-wife trying to destroy a brother. I moved on long ago and came to peace with my ex-husband. I understand that nothing lasts forever and people must move on. It’s okay to reach for success and get an education. I am all for that, and I am a part of that movement. My issue is how people can be one thing in public while not handling their business when it comes to their children and responsibilities, deceiving the public about who they really are. I think it’s time to expose the truth and keep it real.

If you have kids, they are your first priority. Really! Did Malik really write that on page 5 of his book? He compared himself to Saint Augustine of Hippo, a saint who came from present-day Annaba, Algeria? He wrote City of God and converted to Christianity. The Roman province considered him important because of his books, his teachings, and his conversion to Christianity. His baptism was in AD 387. Wow, is Malik sad.

When I met his mom, I thought she was okay. She and my mom were good friends in high school. His mom was a quiet woman. As I stayed around her, I saw that being quiet isn’t always a good thing. People hold secrets inside that can hurt many people mentally, spiritually, and physically. I didn’t understand how his mom could endure the torment of staying with an abusive, alcoholic husband for more than twenty-five years. I never saw his stepdad sober until he got sick and couldn’t drink any longer; may he rest in peace. From what I gathered about how his mom was treated and the things Malik told me about his stepdad, I think that treatment affected who he is today. I have never met a man with a wife and kids who is as emotionally detached as Malik is. When we were together, it was as if we didn’t exist until we were out in public. Everything was always a show for the public; no one really knew what was going on behind closed doors. It’s sad to think that you can win when you aren’t right on the inside.

I was raised in a Pentecostal Holiness church; the woman who raised my nana had a Baptist background. Nana was Cherokee, Irish, and African. My people are and were a proud people. Even as a child, I knew where I came from and who I was. We had our own land and grew our own food. I pretty much grew up in the Garden of Eden and on Noah’s ark. Except for a few negative parts, my childhood was all about discovering nature, agriculture, and science, and my mom and nana
