Tears Dry Own Their Own

A Remix from the best thing that ever happened to hip hop, musically speaking. The DF.

Also from the best thing that ever happened to hip-hop,
personally speaking, The TX, I give you the words of Easy Lee…

7.23.11 (Amy’s Dead) … a short poem

a dead slave is not a slave at all

more so a bird flying south for the winter

fleeing the cold of a life abbreviated

her peace, never found

is spelled out now

in all caps

AMY WINEHOUSE FOUND DEAD IN LONDON

and for some strange reason

i flinch

perhaps because i arm wrestle demons daily

and have come to the conclusion that THEY

hate artists with a passion that rivals

the love of all mankind

beyond a reasonable doubt

art is Holy …

i lay here

wrapped in revelation

convinced

art is of God

heaven and immortality …

her songs

the blues my grandchildren will sing

this night

i spend like every other …

awake

preparing for the demon that was assigned my soul

“1,000 Deaths” in my headphones
