Curiosity killed the cat, however most know kittens aren’t my favorite. Therefore opposite attracts in my world. I wanted to know what made me tick, when I raised in my bed at night out of the blue with nothing but intuition in my mind, I felt it was a reason of something that had happened during that time somewhere, some place this eternity or previously. My mother was born February 14, yet my Father was killed the same day. My son passed away October 23, yet it was the birth of his father. My father and son both life was taken away by the kindness of their hearts being the start of their demise. These occurrences happens in a life of my pain, sorrow, and survival because in Maya Angelou words “STILL I RISE”….. I spend my life early on with struggle of not understanding why, but knowing there was a purpose that I had to find. My purpose was told to me to be a Prophet to many, tell my story for many to learn and teach what I felt as a lesson of passion as I lived it!

Dedicated to My First Love & Love of My Life

My first love, my heart, Right Hand & Homie.

In just a midst of a mistake, it was taken all from me.

From birth, you slept right beside me

Day in, day out on my hip you were, considered one of my seeds.

A fool with it, Silly, yet full of ambition.

Was about making that coin, braveheart, You were in it.

In it to win.

An Aquarian King, succeeding was guaranteed.

Just left me in confusion as to why you’ll do this to

Mommy.

I know you just panicked but still I wish you’ve called.

I couldn’t hide you for long but dammit was here to dust you off.

She taught us God takes care of the fool & children.

Despite of the anger, your life to me, was just beginning.

I love You and I can’t take back that I should have shown you more.

But I feel you right beside me.

And I know your niece I conceived after you passing,

You would have adored.

You’re here in spirit, no doubt of mine.

Thats why I do my best to smile

Because while listening to this rap game,

You remain in my passenger seat, still down to ride #salute

Queen

I swear I could not make it without you.

Your strength, your will power,

I grow everyday as you wish to be more than & become just like you.

Stingy of your presence being your only Girl.

Not a time you werent there for us, You’ve always been my world.

I never know the words when your strength in this time had

weakened.

I can only pray, tell you, I Love You, in faith that your

broken heart will mend.

Theres no Woman, I know to be of their word, and Loyal.

Your love, our bond, deeper than any soil.

I Love You, I am You, the Queen, You are.

This day, tomorrow, forever more,

Im blessed beyond measure to call you, MA.

To our Most High, I bless your name for you couldn’t create a better gift.

I cherish this blessing, even in my hard head ness.

Thank you Mommy for all that you do.

You keep Rising, stand Tall, no other in my heart Queen,

come above You. #salute

Chapter 1

Stubborn Realities

L ooking into the times of the lives of those who are successful and strong, in the times that they speak of says it didn’t start that way. Remembering the first time my oldest child’s early childhood of curiosity. At only 6 months she would know better than to touch the coffee table. However, she would still do so as she would think no one was watching. Even had the intelligence to run in her walker away when she saw someone approaching, a funny thing to watch. Just a lesson to be learned that our brains are in effect even when we don’t know it. We start out being stubborn and hardhead by nature. It's our desire to want to be curious and the discipline to choose the way we operate. If we are giving structure and instruction it appears it will be easy to follow. You have to take in consideration the gene pool that has been taking place for decades. Instruction or not it is known to move in the route of temptation untamed or direction of the unknown. It is only natural to go back as far as I can see in those lives in my experiences that were lead thru one zone and had taken space in another universe. Someone as timid, shy, respectful and know no other than to do the right thing will be guided by a more dominant soul since they await the control of security. Two generations back I know of a man who was misguided in the respect of woman somewhere in his domain it was okay to mislead, disrespect, give a propaganda of fantasy to all those around him. I was told he didn't have much luck in the good looks department but that didn't matter to many cause they all believed what he was selling. Unfortunately, I don’t know much of what else made him the truth everyone sought after. However, it was clear most was putty in his hands. He had the knowledge to get the prettiest of his likings and plant seeds of what we call the start of the deceit. His wife as naïve as she was beautiful had 9 children amongst Smooth Eddie, she loved him dearly! She respected him, was loyal, and was a wife of which many sought after. Long pretty hair, dedicated and can cook up a meal with little to nothing to make your mouth water. Her home was clean, she was loving and so dear by heart with all she knew. The mother you can make your own and learn how to become one. Did that change the fact that Smooth Eddie didn’t appreciate her, respect her or even cared enough to stick around before he knocked the next pretty woman up, absolutely not? Ms. Sophie was forced to raise her children, feed them, clothed them and keep them safe to the best of her ability with nothing of value in her life besides them. To think she wasted years of the mistrust, humiliation, rumors and the finger pointing just
