Its Time for Us as a people to make some Changes

I was listening to Tupac's Changes last night. Anyone who knows me knows I love Tupac. Tupac was a rapper and film star back in the late 80s early 90s. He was murdered at the age of 25 shot to death on a Las Vegas street. His homicide remains unsolved.

In the rap Changes Tupac says "We have to change the way we live. We have to change the way we eat and change the way we treat each other" He's right we do have to change our ways. We have to decide rather we change or die. Its that simple. This is a list of changes we need to make.

1. Adults we were poorly educated and as messed up as that is we have to step up and fix it. We are not stupid we are smart we are not educated. That is what we need to change. We need to change that. We need to be able to pick up the job for our kids and grandkids.  We will continue to give off negative emotions. We have to stop making fun of the Bougsies for "talking white" its speaking English. We do not want to discourage our babies from learning. We need to learn the basic skills to teach the next generations.

2 Two parent families. I did not say marriage but if you are Christian get married. I don't care how its done let's do it. My friend Jen and her husband Donald were living together and raising their kids together. Marriage came on July 17, 2016. Their kids grew up in a two parent home. I love Jen I was glad she got married.

3 We got to change the way we treat each other. We got to stop picking up the gun for dumb beefs. I am not going to lie I was 52 and still fighting in these streets but we got to stop that. We need to learn how to be non violent. We need to start using our words.  We have to stop the killing I'm tired of saying RIP and RWG all the time.

4 We no longer need the No Snitching rule back in the day it was necessary for survival but that is no longer needed. You see something call the police if it were your family you would want justice. We have to corporate with the police. Do not listen to the Bougsies talk to the ones who do not want you to talk to the police. Remember this they do not live in the hood its not them who have to put up with daily shootings. Its not them loosing their families.

5. We need to learn to budget our money. We stay broke because we are not keeping track of our money. We have a lack of money we can still budget but you have to account for every dime.

We have better stop or we will all die. We have to stop catching cases and stopntaking plea bargains. We need to start exercising our rights.

Finally we have to have each others back we are the only people who truly understands when your lights get cut off. We need to remain united.
