comments: Even though I was sad, I still managed to do this big ass book which was a nightmare to produce.
I never intended on putting together a poetry book or to even go back to writing raps as I had done in school. I
was just hanging out with my friends and one of them was a d.j. We started messing around making songs
and writings began to pour out of me. After a while I realized my friends weren't going to do anything with the
songs and I was stuck with all this stuff I had written and was still writing. I had no musical equipment or experience
in such matters. So, I decided to make a book of poetry. This is a good book, I put that on my moma!
Here are the originals to the covers (except for the barcode, that's pasted in).
