On Point lyrics

Indestructible I'm on the mic like Zack
attackin front lines harder than a wolf pack
Time to breathe time to see into ya mind
Intertwined with the words that be defined

By all means, the scene's beneath the surface
Deeper than roots, or else the pen's worthless
No purpose, track my lyrical state
Raidin' the gates, checkmate, it be ya fate

No said date like the masta releasin
Killa bee kicks and hits, that be increasin
The reason, to generate and elevate
like Style Wars, on freights, and dig crates

Heart rate, increase, building a beast
Lay it all down like a worldwide feast
Seizing and marking the spots for the century
Blocks, lock, dodgin the cops rockin the glocks,


CHORUS

[Automatic, shock, static, hold ground
Who be the baddest, the maddest in the underground?]


Wreckin and checkin, keep six, behind bricks
Heat seeking, fame reaping, with no cliques
Under the sun, and deep within the shadows,
Eminent yet camouflaged, runnin a battle

Ninja stance, I fire up the mic like Mike,
And freeze 20 speakers that stand on site
Willing to write, I'm in the bleachers at night
at 817, blind ya sight like daylight

On Point

My first solo track recorded in Maputo, Mozambique on September 9, 2007.
This was originally recorded in my room here in T-Dot as a short demo early in the year because I was having problems with the lyrics.

Took me a while to put it up cause...maybe it's not all that great haha. Sometimes I don't know what I get up to.

School News

Well...we were watching our final projects for the term today. My group's was shown last. Out of the 6 projects, I really liked 2 (including ours), just because of how creative and artistic it was done. The others were good, humor-wise.
I don't know how many of the projects will go up on youtube, but I'll post up our project once it's up on there. Hopefully Tony (who directed, produced, and edited the project) puts it up soon.
Anyway, people liked my camera work. Good hand-held shots. I got good comments about that, which made me happy. It's just nice to know that someone appreciates what you do, you know? And Tony said that he was very happy with his group. Said we should do more stuff together...

Craziest TTC Bus Ride

[This blog post contains mature language]

So it was raining after school today. I ran to the convenience store to get a phone card. I was soaked. The Chinese fella who owns the store was even laughing. He's cool though. He's missing half a finger (which is a face that Tim pointed out to me a few months ago). Then I waited for the 32 bus at the bus stop, since I didn't wanna walk home in the rain. I had student tickets anyway. Lots of kids were on the bus. Mainly high schoolers and some dude with a baby and his chick who had a sore tooth or something (she was holding a cloth to her cheek).
When we got to the Eglinton & Avenue intersection, the bus stopped to pick up more kids, and we all heard the lady shouting at someone, "GET OFF THE BUS! GET OFF THE BUS!". I chuckled. Poor kid, whoever got shouted at.
Then we moved along on a joyful ride. When we got to Eglinton & Chaplin (the stop just before mine), the bus turned RIGHT. Now, usually, you'd expect the bus to keep going straight, so we were all wondering what was going on, and people were complaining. Some of them sounded like they were getting off at my stop too. So the toothache girl was like, "Stop the bus so people can get off!". But the driver lady wasn't listening. People were freaking out. Most of us even got up thinking she'd stop soon so we can get off, but NADA. She kept going. I was cool though, because...well...because I'm just cool like that.
Then she turned a few roads left. We all heard that she's taking a detour for some reason. Lots of people were yelling for her to stop, and making fun of her. "LET US OFF! OPEN THE DOOR!" Some girls I was sitting with were joking, "We're being kidnapped!" and "We should sing a song. The wheels on the bus go round and round..." I found that funny XD Then the guy with a kid was trying to shout at the driver, though she couldn't hear him because we were in the back. "Stop bitch, so we can get off!" Then one of the dudes sitting in the back with us, woke up. He was a tired-looking Asian with a baseball cap. And this one guy was trying to get his attention to tell him that we're taking a detour. I think the sleepy Asian guy was confused. He didn't really say anything. I chuckled XD
Then we turned left on Bathurst Street. Bathurst intersects Eglinton, so we knew we were going west again once we hit Eglinton. Then the driver was complaining, "Please calm down, I can't drive when you're making noise." And right then, people made a lot of noise to irritate her. XD that was funny. When we hit Eglinton, we saw a police car blocking the lane going east.
Most of us got off when the bus stopped right on Eglinton. One of the last things I heard when I got off was, "12-year-olds shouldn't be allowed on the bus anymore." Whoever said that looked 13.
So I got off, and I turned around to look at how many people got off, and I heard this guy saying, "Watch it, stupid nigger." And this black chick was behind me, repulsed. I was like, "What the hell? What was that about?" and she was like, "I have no idea. I can't wait to get home and tell my mother what just happened. First, a crazy bus ride, then this dude. I just KNOW he wasn't talking about me." and I was like, "I know he wasn't talking about ME!" and then this white dude came walking next to us. "You should call and complain to the TTC. You can do that. What happened?" and she told him, " Well, some guy just called ME and my HOMEBOY here, a nigger."
Yes, I think that was the first time I'd ever heard someone being so openly racist to someone. It's crazy.
Anyway, it went something like that. Then we all walked towards our humble abodes. On my way home, a lady standing on the sidewalk told us that a bus driver had fallen asleep on the wheel and had hit a post, about 45 minutes ago. I saw the TTC bus whose front was wrecked, and the lamp post it hit. There were cops and firefighters on the scene, people watching, and others taking pictures. I decided to take a few with my phone. When I walked by, I asked a firefighter if the bus driver really fell asleep on the wheel and he said that they were still trying to figure out what happened. I wondered if that lady was just talking XD

So yeah, that was my crazy day, shared with high schoolers, crazy yelling people, bus drivers and racists.
