What An Experience

Predicaments

We all get put in situations that may appear tough to get out of. Living in the moment feels horrible, feels as though everything is crashing, Whatever were going through is weight on our shoulders that’s typically overbearing. Sometimes it gets hard, we often times ask ourselves “WHY ME” not “IM CHOSE” for a reason.

Adapting slow

It was October 10 2009 I left home & moved to Virginia for some years. The transition was tough like really. Leaving everything behind, family, friends & memories was the hardest thing to do. If you ask me it wasn’t my decision, my sister/guardian thought this would be a fresh start for us. I never seen a fresh start in this, after a weekend of settling in, I had school that monday. Life couldn’t be more worse, maybe school would be different or maybe I’ll actually like it. That next morning getting ready was a dragged, peeling myself out of bed was like pulling teeth. I brushed my teeth, showered, got dressed up & ate. I didn’t have a car so I waited for the bus. Shortly the bus arrived, I couldn’t believe I was in the country taking the bus, when I used to walk or ride the train, looking at acres when I used to look at building, eating a wide range of soul food than from eating different ranges of ethnic group foods. Right then I excepted & made piece that life changed.

Overcoming

After a few days of highschool I hated every inch of it. Everyone had dreads, following one another, there were no form of individuality. So the bell rang for lunch & everyone immediately rushed to the cafeteria. The look I gave that moment was “really lunch” everyone swormned out the class while I’m still tryna process my books in my bag. Thinking in my head if I’m here long enough that would be me. I couldn't let the country become me. So I left the classroom & walked to the cafeteria, seeing a huge crowd, I thought a fight had broken out. I went through the crowd & notice two students rapping back & forth at each other, in which they called it a rap battle & everyone just going crazy. i had friends back home who rapped for real, I did a little but not nothing crazy. So I got my lunch & sat down & another battle broke out, this time I got up & went to the front of the crowd & waited to they finished & noticing both were good. But there was only one winner, tony banks was his name, after his win & matchup I said “I want smoke” so everyone got more hype. The winner wanted me to go first, I said my raps and then got booed, so after I’ve gotten done the winner tooken his turn & and everyone loved him. He ended up winning, so of course his bragging rights was I beat the city boy. From that day I never stoped rapping I kept practicing, kept writing, doing my homework on a lot of south rappers & really digging knee deep into rapping. My style was automatically unique just cause I didn’t sound country. After taking some time away from everyone, I bust my glutes practicing on a level that I didn’t even know I had. Having one of my piers in highschool try to start a battle infront of me throwing everyone around us, laughing at me saying I’m going to loose ima waste of time so the guy Dj Newman went & then everyone cheered. He was good, though when it was my turn. I surprised everyone, I turned around & had everyone jumping through the room. I won immediately taking my crown & going up against 12 more people, beating them with no hesitation. Now my name began to grow throughout high school My mission is not complete till I beat banks. After a 17 consecutive win streak, tony stepped to me everyone got amped like Jay z pulled up. Tony went first everyone went crazy on a stadium level, then I went then everyone went even more crazy. Tony’s face was confused like where did he get his material from or did he go easy on me the first time. Tony went the second time people went crazy, then I went & demolished tony completely. He was upset & hit me across the cafeteria I got up & hit him back. I immediately overcame what I knew I can be, a success at beating the best rapper in Washington & lee high school.
