Blessed & Grateful

I am so proud to announce that my hard work and dedication has paid off.

I always put Allah first and give Allah the praise. He has blessed me and I’m grateful for the favors He has bestowed on me.

I’m so happy that I received the Recognition I humbly deserve.

I humbly thank Allah so much for the organization Youth Empowerment Institute and the sponsors who decided to honor me 10/05/2019 at the TAHAD FESTIVAL 2019 as the recipient of the Long Island Golden Era of Hip Hop Award.

Alhumdulillah ( all praise is due to Allah)

The Citation from The Honorable Siela Bynoe Nassau County Legislator, District 2. Where I was born and raised.

From the tracks I’ve laid, to the path I’ve blazed, I’m honored to express and share the experience with my fans and colleagues.

I give back to the community because I care. I give back because it’s the right thing to do. I give back because I love you. I’m taught to be kind and respectful and be truthful. I’m taught to enjoin what is right and fibid what is wrong. I’m taught to tie my camel and be strong. Have patience and hope for the best.

I want my sisters to know that we are royalty. We are treasures beyond measures. Being women in hip hop we’re more than just females with bodies and a cute face, sassy mouth, or a cash flow with no where to go. We are strong women, educated and gifted. We are mothers, wifey, sisters, entrepreneurs, mentors, inspiration, advocates, and Queens. We are leadership and we have a voice.

We can reach and teach and be examples. We represent. We don’t need to degrade ourselves to prove nothing to nobody. I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus, but some women have thrown themselves over the bus and steering our young ladies on a rocky path. I believe there’s still hope and change will come.

I pray that the youth can recognize the pure innocence and power of the pen along with prayer, to be the tools and instruments used while trail blazing a path or journey to the success of their choice.

Be it an artist, manager, writer, or publisher, the knowledge learned and taught make you shine and be held up in the coolness of this worlds eyes. Knowing your worth and maintaining your status, never to be degraded and put down that you can’t rise up.

Be the Inspiration to your generation and look back only to bring up the good you may have left behind. Stay focused and guard your heart. Make sure your words and deeds are beneficial to anyone seeking understanding to learn this thing called life.

Life is not just living, its a process and takes courage and strength and the will to survive. I put all that on the Almighty who gave life to me.

I reverence the womb that bore me and I submit to the Lord who made me.

Ladies of the 80’s keep on blazing. The ladies of 90’s and the new Millennium your work is not done.

The chapters in the book, since I last took a look, we should all be on the same page when you hit the stage.

Think of your hereafter that’s the next chapter. All that you say and do will come back on you.

Set the pace and run the race. When you begin, don’t have doubt within. Keep a Gratitude Attitude and respect yourself and others and the love will come my sisters and mothers.

Again, it is an honor to share this with you, it’s so important and so true, Allah blessed me to be who I am the “GLAM” and represent all the good I do.

Peace!!!

My Youth!

Mic🎤✔Check!

My Youth!!!

Always got something to say.

Allways complaining,

Seeking something every which way,

Not complying with rules and regulations the adults put on display.

Why this?

Why that?

Why not?

Why Why Why?

Yo Stop!!!

Adults need you to comply!

If you have a problem with small rules and policies,

You’re going to have problems with the real Authorities!

Save yourself some grief,

Follow your righteous belief.

If the book says obey,

Then obey what the parents say.

Don’t question them.

If you question an officer,

He’s not your friend.

When he says put your hands up where I can see them,

Don’t ask WHY?

Do it!

Or your chances to live are slim.

When you were born you knew nothing,

Your parents, caretakers had to teach you something.

How to talk, how to walk, and feed yourself too,

Sending you to school to educate you.

Manners are picked up from family and friends you’re exposed to.

The parents are your first teachers,

So what say you?

When you act out and show bad conduct in public places,

Embarrassed your parents are, I’m imagining their faces.

Some parents scared to get the strap,

Some parents don’t take their children’s crap.

Most parents wish they have the best child,

Praying they make them proud and not be out there wild.

People can tell when you act a certain way if you’re a good child or not,

You display bad behavior, and your speech is shot.

Talking sassy and arrogant,

No respect in your speech,

Reflect on yourself and listen to what they teach.

Obey your parents and those charged with Authority among you,

I promise you’ll become a better human being and Allah will bless you!

Peace!

My Dear! Half way through the Year!

Mic🎤✔Check!
Peace and Blessings everyone!
It’s about that time.
Oh My we in the middle of July!
It’s amazing how far you’ve come.
When you reflect on all you’ve done thus far.
Look at who you are!
If you have been running or just even been standing still.
What have you done, or doing?
The struggle is real.
You should be able to have something to show for your efforts.
Count your Blessings!
Reflect on the lessons.
Step back and reflect.
Are you keeping your goals in check?
After you’ve saw yourself and your achievements or your lackings, encourage yourself to do better.
Don’t just seek that cheddar!
Blessings are better than the cheddar!
Don’t just settle for less than average either.
Don’t complain neither.
Always think big.
Exactly what is Big to you?
Reflect on the reflection coming through.
Introspection on your direction.
Setting goals and planning an action plan, vision board, organized agenda for yourself, helps you balance and put your priorities in its right perspective.
Don’t allow too many objectives.
Be protective,
Of you!
Don’t be too hard on yourself,
just take it step by step and maintain your faith in the Lord in the process.
The Lord got this!
Nothing happens without the Lord say any way.
Man plans but the Almighty is the best of planners.
Half way through 2019, and then time feels like it’s flying.
Too many people dieing.
If you’re reading this, be Grateful and give thanks and praise.
We’re not promised tomorrow and we’re blessed for these days.
Before this year is out, you want to look back and say All praise is due to the Most High,
I DID IT!
By His Mercy and guidance.
Make sure your intentions are pure.
If you put the Almighty first and trust Him, He will carry you through.
Have faith,
Be true!
Your tears, your struggles, your pain,
Are not in vain.
You are going through what ever for a reason.
There is Blessings for you in every season.
A change is going to come.
Embrace!
Submit!
Keep foucus!
Never quit.
Evolve and Engage the new you!
You are Awesome and have value.
Don’t let the Devil fool you out your worth.
Be that Light in the dark,
That makes a difference on Earth.
Keep moving on the right path no matter what people say,
May the Lord continue to bless and guide you,
Have a blessed and productive day!

Be Yourself!

Looking in the Mirror,

A reflection of yourself.

You see what you see,

But not everyone else.

Make up can hide things,

Clothes cover up things.

What’s inside,

You think you hide.

The Almighty knows you,

You need to know you too.

Your character displays,

Your attitude portrays.

Your manners project,

Learn to respect.

Looking in a mirror

To see the reflection of yourself,

You see what you see,

And hope no one else.

Amazing you are,

Inside and out.

Integrate that reflection

And your manners with perfection,

Others will learn,

Who and what you’re all about.

BE YOURSELF!

Stress

Stress is as silent killer.

When you get upset, it’s a thriller.

People watch you go off like a bomb.

Ticking time bomb.

Exploding because you couldn’t take it no more.

Like those who are stressed,

Grab their chest,

And hit the floor.

If you are serious about your life, and your health,

Make sure you release whatever it is that is causing you difficulty, including some of your wealth.

Relationships, jobs, uneasy situations, let them go.

The cause of your stress, if you know.

I’m serious,

Be curious,

Educate yourself on this matter,

I heard this scenario made my heart pitter patter:

Imagine holding a cup of water,

And you hold it for a long time,

It becomes heavy,

Stress can be heavy on your heart and mind.

If you’re holding stress for a long time it can wear you down.

If you hold a glass of water for a long time, it would weigh you down.

Stress can be a test.

You need to release the stress some how, some way,

I care about you, no time to play.

Take my advice and STOP holding the STRESS its going to tear you down.

You’re a beautiful soul, we need you around.

Life is too short,

And time passes too fast.

Take care of your self so your life can last.
