Connect For

Connect For: The sake of my beloved mentor
Connect For: Those exposed to rain when it pours
Connect For: The benefit of every last fan
Who raised a hand on your command, let’s
Connect For: The chance to support the amateur
Connect For: Revival of the vibe of ‘The Score’
Connect For: The sake of the kids, if nothing more
They can’t afford to face another closed door, let’s

Connect For: The prospect of steps uncharted
Pioneers in the context of “let’s start it”
To be certain the efforts of the martyrs are applauded
I’mma share Specs’ burden to resurrect the artist
Usher in the Renaissance – a plea to Medici
To commission each and every emcee in the CD [Central District]
Meet me on the Hill [Capitol] with your catalog of styles
We’re collabin’ with the crowd congregatin’ ‘round Sal’s
And be loud enough [that] sound travels upstairs
And beyond to the ears of the once debonair
‘Til the idea clicks: put a little more Blue [Scholars] in the mix
With the Grey [Skull] – it’s your Word to Say [Wordsayer]
So brother speak – ‘cause some stand with both feet in your opinion
And would happily embrace a ‘New Dominion’
If you’re ready to build, I’ll be standin’ at Denny and Olive waitin’
To break ground and form a foundation, let’s

Connect For: The promise to provide for the poor
Connect For: The prosperity of you and yours
Connect For: The simple fact size brings strength
Resources will reinforce our ‘weak links,’ let’s
Connect For: The possibility of Cold War
Connect For: The probability of that law
Connect For: The opportunity to ensure the force
Of our community’s rapport, let’s

Connect For: The proprietorship of something greater than a label
Bring the rain – we remain faithful
And though we’re able to stay tied through gray skies
We never ‘weather the storm’ together – we stay dry
And that’s surprisin’ – here where life thrives, we’re barely survivin’
We the stamina to keep the sign of Cancer Rising
A bit of organizing for the sake of [Project] Mayhem
Make them the gate keepers of the next way in
I extend and supply a hand to the Silent Lambs [Project]
Tryin’ to ally the fam, I’ll not stop for one defiant man
Play the role of David to the giant and cock the shot
To drop the opposition right where they stand
Victory is ours for sure if we’re determined to win
Firm in the covenant concerning the tenets of
Kinship throughout the Sound’s people
There’s room for every one of us to be Under the Needle, let’s

Connect For: Enhancement of our repertoire
Connect For: The advancement of the art form
Connect For: The chance for us to prove to the critics
Hiphop is not dividin’ this district, let’s
Connect For: The call for an eternal encore
Connect For: The making of a new supreme corps
Connect For: The breakdown of the last wall
That keeps the mass from that reward, let’s

Connect For: DV and Soul One, let’s
Connect For: Jerm and Asun, let’s
Connect For: Dirty Byrdy and Scene, Bishop I and Karim
And the Team [Boom Bap] and plus Bean [One], let’s
Connect For: B-Mello and Skin, let’s
Connect For: Sam [Chesneau] and Mark Sense, let’s
Connect For: Sonny B [Bonoho] and O Deez, Black Swan

It’s time for all us to build…

~Connect For by Common Market


It has been a long ass time since I updated this thing. I'm suffering from the flu so now is as good of a time as any to update.

Elizabeth and I have gotten back together, actually we did it in mid December. She came to me apologizing for what happened and how she realized she was walking away from the best thing that happened to her. I'm a believer in 2nd chances and it just felt right to try it again. So far so good.

Speaking of December, my annual birthday trip was a success with the boys. Jenn made it one of the most memorable weekends of my life.

Speaking of trips my mom, grandma and I went to Phoenix for Thanksgiving. It was pretty chill and I got to see my first ever live hockey game. A 3-2 win for the Sharks over the Coyotes.

I also went to China for 2 weeks for Chinese New Years. It was spectacular.

Aside from my random trips school has been the same old thing. This is my last semester at IVC and I can't wait to hear back to see where I get accepted to. So far I've been accepted to Fullerton.

Debate has been interesting. I'm paired up with Christ now, another n00b. Last tournament I got to debate with a Chinese partner and we won a silver, 2 days later I won a bronze in NFA LD. It was amazing how well Helen and I jelled. We were kicking but, and considering how English was her 2nd language, I was completely astonished by her skill. I love the Tabor-Vinitsky tournament. I've always done pretty well in it.

The rest of the debate season has sucked. Lack of a good partner has thrashed any chance to win anything. If it wasn't for this past weekend, I would probably quit.

A lot has been happening the past 4-5 months but I can't remember everything and I'm just too tired to try to go into detail. I'll be posting up pictures soonish so that will help give you a better idea of what's been going on in my life.

I normally end with another song, but this flu is kicking the shit out of me. So instead, Good night and Sweet dreams.
