People over Pride

people over pride
that’s how I ride
with my gangsta lean of love
I’m above the petty
I ride with peace

I purposefully choose people
because pride leads to loneliness
seclusion, separated from the right
even if I am right
I’ll be right by myself
so I ride with peace

with my hand on the wheel swerving
dodging prideful potholes
like mario vs. turtles
Andretti has nothing on my skillz
I flow through the traffic of my mind with ease
These brake shoes of peace given to me by the Lord above
would stop Optimus Prime and his crew in their tracks
I ride with peace

with my orange drink in my hand
sipping the goodness of relaxing thoughts toward my brotha
I ride into the sunset like Billy
Kid, you don’t know me
I ride with peace

Why wait

Bachelor parties as a married man can remind you of things.  In this case nothing naughty (smile).  So somewhere between the groom licking a kiwi and us men playing street fighter.  The elder statesmen of marriage spoke some wisdom to the young cats.  We talked about don't wait to teach your kids.  Why do parents teach their kid how to walk before they know how to.  Teach their kid how to share before they know how to.  Teach their kid how to be a 6 year old when the kid is 4.  Because they are excited to see their child grow.  Then the child hits 8-10 and all of the sudden the teacher is nowhere to be found.  Why do you seem to be surprised when the child wants you to teach them how to be a pre-teen or teen before they reach that age?  It's almost saying I was never a teacher why are you looking at me.  You know what gets parents, fear.  So here are some excuses parents have used.  Why would I tea...
