Slave Mill

“What you want and what you will
Working for your dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Walking home, ah youth gets killed
Neighbours free to shoot at will
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Nine to five you know the drill
Weekends are a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Cup runneth over till it spill
Take until they've had their fill
Hurts to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Some of us think we're too big
Got a system, gives us jobs
Even though it's just a low paying gig
Some of us will boast and brag
And those of us who think we're small
Just because we don't have much
That's really not the case at all
There's riches that the flesh can't touch

What men want and what they will
Working for a dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Walking home, ah youth gets killed
Police free to shoot at will
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Nine to five you know the drill
Weekends are a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Cup runneth over till it spill
Take until they've had their fill
Hurts to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still”

If you’re like me than you have a thirst for knowledge, for the truth . I’ve always wondered where are humans originally from . Not the story of Adam and Eve and how  God created us from the  “dust” and etc , well in a very unique way what I’m about to share might correlates to that theory but it’s far way cooler and logically comprehendible. Yes we all know that we’re  made of various  molecules of atoms right ? But , what we all don’t know is how  did all these little ingredients of molecules and atoms just happened to be  within us (strange , and a bit fascinating) I know  . When I talk about atoms I’m referring to every single organs in our bodies. “ The six most common elements of life on Earth (including more than 97 percent of the mass of a human body) are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorus. Those same elements are abundant at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.” (Basically,  what that means is, all the elements the ...

Critics.

In life you can’t worry about people’s opinions, your friends, families, teachers parents are prime example of you’re alone . Some friends,  will hold you back from your full potential and if you listen to them you’ll never channel your true self or even chase your dreams. Family members never believes in you , and teachers simply just don’t care, of course  not every one of your friends, families , parents and teachers are like this but when you’ve experienced life severally you’ll start to see facts in these statements. If you have great friends who supports you in anything you do , family members who believes in you be grateful . Now, if you fall on the other side of having to be your only supporter and support system don’t hurt too much about it , after all most successfull individuals had done it alone . Don’t always expect the people you know to support you , critics will always be those close to you . If you want to be a model pursue your dreams you’re never a failure u...

SURVIVE 💪🏾

“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” It is the idea that no matter how good, or how painful a role they played, they taught us something, something that will reveal itself to us at some point. This goes hand in hand with the concept of everything happening for a reason. While there may be unpleasant lessons that happen through break-ups, they are lessons nonetheless. We have to be open to the pain and difficulty, to be truly open to what it is we are supposed to gain from an experience. It can be difficult at times, to think in terms of everything happening for a reason, but it can also be helpful. At times when we are going through a particularly difficult time, such as after a split, it can be very comforting to think that there is a purpose to this, and there will be a use for what I am going through this very moment. Here is some sage advice about just this point:  1)”Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant fo...
