TRAP HOUSE
THE TRAP HOUSE! It can be heard in all the latest rap songs! Uttered by all the thugs, and hustlers that Rome the streets; Praised as the spot where they sale their drugs from. To be 100% Real with you ; i am guilty of frequently using the term to describe the very same thing, lol. But while as was incarcerated in Florida Prison System- just that "TRAPPED"; I was compelled to think about the origins of the term. Isn't that IRONIC? TRAPPIN got me TRAPPED in a 8'10 cell, lol! Crazy as it seem, in the streets where young kids, turn t thug, and hustlers for the money & fame that it's known to bring; Seems like TRAPPING will continue to do just that- TRAP! Last year 08 while sitting in my 8'10 cell; i sat down seriously thinking how the term couldv'e came about. I mean, I'm wise enough to know that the government controls the drug game, and very instrumental in creating the criminal class; which lead me to think where such a term could just surface from? Call me foolish, but i am just not convinced that a ignorant young black male can come up with the term all on there own. Especially since they advertise, and glorify being at the trapped; And rapping bout how they make money (cheese) in the TRAP. The more i thought about it; I couldn't help but see visions of a mouse trap, lol! Hustlers, exalt themselves in thinking that they are on top of their game; and can out wit the authorities (govt.) that created the drug trade on the street level. Therefore, to think that you can play it without getting caught in the trap in a set up; But just like that mouse, put a lil cheese in their, and it's irresistible. THINK!
WATCH, LOOK ,& FOCUS...
No matter where you are n life; if you are playing your position, and on top of your game; there is someone on top of you "WATCHIN"- waiting to pull you up! If you keep "LOOKIN" up, expecting; then you can't "FOCUS"...; on the mission @ hand. "EYE" never "SEE" the haters "Watchin" in SuSpence. Keep 'em Outta SIGHT, while u evolve to change a Residence! Prepare 4 ur Flight! UnderDaScope Ent.

Truths Hurts
Who r you trying to Convince!!!!
Whether or not you are from the inner city, or suburbs; I'm pretty sure you've heard the term " Keep it Real", or "I'm Real"! We'll, used in this context; Real could never be more True! Yeah that's right!!! When a person tells you "I'm Real"; Whether it's meant in the context in which you relate as being real or not, you better believe them. Though the Street term of Real relates to being true to the game, or brotherhood (mutual understanding of telling the truth). Ultimately a person can and will only be real to the true nature of human being they are, regardless of the expectation anybody else my have set for them. Therefore, if that person has characteristics that of a hater, buster, of liar etc. They are Real to that nature. Furthermore, the term loses it's merit with every time someone utters it. Because, if you are real, you do it effortlessly, and don't have to say it constantly; unless your trying to prove it to yourself, and others. Personally, i will be weary of anyone that repeatedly uses the term simply because, to me he's trying to convince himself. I know it's funny to think of someone doing it they do; Whether to claim affiliations are simply talk it into existence; they do. So next time you here a person use this term; take these things into consideration. And if they use it to much, get away from!!! Cause that someone who has to much to prove; and will do anything that gets into trouble. And this is one to grow on!
