Sha-Clack-Clack

If I could find the spot where truth echoes
I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future
I would let their future dwell in my past
so that I might live a brighter now
Now is the essence of my domain and it contains
all that was and will be
And I am as I was and will be because I am and always will be
that nigga
I am that nigga
I am that nigga
I am that timeless nigga that swings on pendelums like vines
through mines of boobytrapped minds that are enslaved by time
I am the life that supersedes lifetimes, I am
It was me with serpentine hair and a timeless stare
that with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules
They still exist as the walking dead, as I do
The original sulphurhead, symbol of life and matriarchy
severed head Medusa, I am
I am that nigga
I am that nigga!
I am that nigga!!
I am a negro! Yes negro, negro from _necro_ meaning death
I overcame it so they named me after it
And I be spitting at death from behind
and putting "Kick Me" signs on it's back
because I am not the son of Sha-Clack-Clack
I am before that, I am before
I am before before
Before death is eternity, after death is eternity
There is no death there's only eternity
And I be riding on the wings of eternity
like HYAH! HYAH! HYAH! Sha-Clack-Clack
but my flight doesn't go undisturbed
Because time makes dreams defer
And all of my time fears are turning my days into daymares
And I live daymares reliving nightmares
of what taunted my past
Sha-Clack-Clack, time is beatin my ass
And I be havin dreams of chocolate covered watermelons
Filled with fried chickens like pinatas
With little pickaninny sons and daughters
standing up under them with big sticks and aluminum foil
Hittin em, tryin to catch pieces of fallin fried chicken wings
And Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are standing in the corners
with rifles pointed at the heads of the little children
"Don't shoot the children," I shout, "don't shoot the children!"
but they say it's too late
They've already been infected by time
But that shit is before my time
I need more time
I need more time
But it's too late
They start shooting at children and killing them!
One by one, two by two, three by three, four by four
Five by five, six by six, but
my spirit is growing seven by seven
Faster than the speed of light
Cause light only penetrates the darkness that's already there
and I'm already there
I'm here at the end of the road
which is the beginning of the road beyond time, but
where my niggaz at? (Oh shit!)

Oh shit, don't tell me my niggaz got lost in time
My niggaz are dying before their time
My niggaz are serving unjust time
My niggaz are dying because of... time

StreetStalking

I have a long way to go. In two weeks, I embark on a roller-coaster mission and I'm utterly excited! I cannot begin to express how hopeful I'm feeling about my future and the way I have managed to shape my life.

I have really managed to focus and despite all my setbacks, I have managed to achieve the goals I have set out for myself and I'm really proud of my achievements. I know that I'm nowhere reaching where I need to be but everything happens in its own time and for now, I'm completely fulfilled and happy with how far I have come.

I'm proud of me :)

Nike: Year of the Rabbit

It's been ages since I blogged about kicks - in fact, I decided a while back that I wouldn't talk about kicks on my blog (I was trying to wean myself off). This time though, I couldn't help it (because I'm so China right now). Nike recently released Chinese Celebration packs called Year of the Rabbit (just in time for Chinese New Year, which falls in February) - which are available in AF1 and the Classic Tennis. The AF1, which I will always remember Emkay saying are just like heels because of their chunky sole, come in a red, white and blue white, varsity royal and crimson upper and a cute little furry swoosh. The Classic Tennis come in two colourways for men and women - metallic gold for men's (representing wealth) and red (representing prayer for good luck, according to High Snobiety)

This is Nike's 10th drop themed around the Chinese Lunar Years. If you know me, you know that I'm very China obsessed right now so I was excited about this release. The kicks will be sold exclusively in China at the following stores: Nike Beijing Store, Nike Sanlitun Store, Nike Beijing Oriental Plaza Store, Beijing Deal, Nike Shanghai Store, Shanghai Juice and Shanghai NPC.

The Year of the Rabbit

Apparently this is the year that we should listen to our intuition more. Also, good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty. (source)

Sounds like the kind of year that I need right now!

Also check HypeBeast and High Snobiety for more pics that I didn't lift from them.
