Dead Broke
I done graduate Berkeley in three years couldnt wait to get free

If i dont make me some dough soon ima sho try an sell this degree
Cuz pinchin pennies an always bein broke aint what im about

An i be damn if ima die dead po at home on my mama couch
White man hold job in his hand got me sayin please and thank you
Masta be turnin down all my beggin pleas wit no thank yous
Wit no green in my pocket Boss done gone an turnt this black man blue
I’ve been really busy working on applications for grad school, thus I havent had time to write here or do much else for that matter. I’m back to work on Monday and back to school on the 18th, I think, so my hiatus will probably continue.
In other news, it’s good to have cuetip back. I started reading his blog right around the time he stopped blogging, but now he’s back, which makes me happy. He’s one of my favorite writers; you should check him out. Reading his posts will without a doubt make you a smarter person.
Hmm. I guess I should update my music reviews page, lots to talk about over there. Until then…
Peace
