WAKE UP!!! Episode 2




In this episode of wake up we are going to cover the word Nigger.

Why are we still using the N word till this day? And I love when people try to justify it by saying, "the word we use is spelled Nigga, not Nigger", but you are still saying it the same way it was called to us in the past and till this day! WAKE UP!!! What is this? You say Tomato, I say Tamato. ITS THE SAME SHIT! Its giving us a false sense of empowerment. Similar to how the word Bitch is negative to females. But then you have some women saying "I'm that Bitch"...NO you're that fool! WAKE UP!!! At least with the word bitch...there still that negativity of the word felt colectivelty by the majority. But for the N-Word, we as a people are desensitized to the word. Once a word loses its meaning, its just a word among other useless words. Its so bad that other nationalities are saying it to each other like its cool. But you dont see them taking negative references towards themselves and making it cool to say. Nope! They just take ours. WAKE UP!!! We are human, which means everything is taught to us to certain extent. Langauge is definitely one of those things. So why is it so hard to Un-teach us to use the word. We were taught to use it, and I dont mean in a class room, but by observation. Is it that ingrained in our culture? NO! its not, people are just fucking LAZY. Ask somebody what does nigga mean to them? "Yo its like my people, daz my mans", So why you can't just say that then? All the damn substitues in the world, like my borther, my breatheren, my people, my friend, my personal favorite, my ninja. Like C'mon Wake UP! Think of it like a diet, Taking the N word out of your vocabulary and switching it with something more positive, is like replacing soda with water. You are on your way to a more healthy living. Yes It will take generations to un-do what was done, but with every other negative thing on this planet that can be reversed, YOU HAVE TO START TODAY!, you cant put it off for another day. Cause 5 years from now, we still gonna be in the same predicament. We still are gonna be looking stupid for using a negative reference as something positive. My people! WAKE UP!!! Stay tuned for the next episode!

WAKE UP!!! Episode 1




WAKE UP!!!


Welcome to the first episode of WAKE UP.


I warn you that some of you, maybe a lot of you, wont like this video, but you know what? I don't care! I feel strongly about it so I'm going to let you all know.

My People! Its time for a change! Its time to WAKE UP!


Sisters...

My Sisters, my beautiful Nubian Queens, why are you buying 1000, 2000, 3000 dollar bags, but you still taking the bus and train or, you still living at home? And if you not spending that much and you getting your bags from the Africans on Canal street, why you walking around with fake shit? Like...If you got on Chinese slippers and a Louie bag, your shit is fake! I don't get why you trying to be something you're not. The people that can truly afford those bags have cars, have houses, or condos, you know, shit they OWN! Meanwhile,you gotta take the (J) to Broadway Junction, catch the (A) to Franklin ave, then hop on the shuttle to the (2), to go rest in ya roach infested apartment! Like C'mon!

Why are you at the club trying to game dudes for drinks? Maybe if you didn't spend $3,000 Dollars on that bag, you would have money to get you own drinks. What do you think? Dudes are just going to buy you drinks and that's it? Of course they expecting something out it! And then you mad at the end of the night cause dude trying to get your number or take you home. Sisters! Your are better than that...WAKE UP!!!



Brothers...


Why you in the club buy 300 Dollar Bottles of Moe, Patron, Grey Goose, but you are not paying your bills. You trying to bag a shorty in the club and she like, "call my phone so I can save your number.", but you cant because your phone is off. Not to mention, your ass took the train to the club. So I guess you think because you don't own a car, "Let me waste my money on Drinks at the bar to make it seem like I have money." You drunk as hell, but tomorrow morning the bank is asking "where is their money?" AND ANOTHER THING...Why are you riding around in "Beemer, Benz, and Bentlys" but, you living paycheck to paycheck. People who can truly afford those cars, ITS

CHUMP CHANGE TO THEM, meanwhile, your ass is starving for 2 weeks because you had to pay your car note and your insurance for that pay period. You feel like you have to uphold some inkling of a reputation. You got Beemer so you can't be seen in a Hyundai, or something that you could afford.

WAKE UP!!! MY PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!


Why are you trying so hard to keep up with people you will never catch if you doing this type of shit?

Why are you forcing shit that will come with time if you let it.

If you focus on it the right way, money will come. Why do you have to try and make it seem like you balling and shit now when you aren't? We are all out here struggling. Even if you put up that front, you still have to go home and look in the mirror. The people that have the money are not at the club spending three times as much for a bottle that you can get at a liqour
store for 30 bucks. You on section 8 driving a Benz. I guess you feel you beat the system huh?

The people that feel what i'm saying...You are going to be alright. The people that is in it for the long haul. Not this for the moment BS. I got new for you, when social security runs out in the future, after you party days are

up, what are you going to do? Go use that money you got saved in the bank right? Oh yea! Thats right! You don't have any money in the bank because you spent it on Louie, Gucci, and Prada bags, or for paying for that Beemer YOU STILL YOU PAYIN FOR!

WAKE UP!!!

We gotta make a change now! We over here watching these stupid ass music videos thinking that that is what we are suppose to be doing. NO! WE SUPPOSE TO BE GETTIN ALL WE CAN FROM THIS LIFE! That BS that is flooding the media is not all there is. The people who really spread truth knowledge and enlightenment don't get played in the media like the should, and its sad. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE DAYS OF OUR ROOTS, TRUTH, KNOWLEDGE, ENLIGHTENMENT!

Invest your money wisely! Try to own something! Try to have something you can pass down to the next generation, a house, a business, A MINDSET!
