I’m writing this on behalf of all the people that got killed. Their spirits are asking me to speak for them. Just like them, I want to ask all of the young people not to be like me, and the one reason is look at where I am right now. Some of us are dead and some of us are in prison. If you are the kind of person that doesn’t like losing to anybody, I say then listen to your dead homies if you don’t want to hear it from the living people/homies.
Many of you think you have all the answer right. If you do then maybe you can tell me what it feels like to be 64 years old? See, I’ve been your age, but you haven’t been mine. The dead homies don’t want you to die like they died. They want you to die the normal way. Like someone told me, which I found out from someone who is older than I, so that’s why I am trying to understand it.
“The game is made to be sold, not told.” Now, if someone ask me that, I’ll even bet a man, woman or child at their own game.
If one has a history of hate he or she can’t work for the state or the Federal. Others have to go to a 12 step group about Racism, decriminalization and hare. They can’t work for the cops, prejudice, racism, hate, discrimination. They have to take this 12 step class where in the end of it they have to write a letter a S.A. about all of these words.
These people just put a 25 year old kid in the cell with me and I’m trying to get him to write to The Beat Within. Two days later he said Ok because I told him not to be like all of them dead people that wish they would have told someone what they knew. The Beat Within is giving people of all ages the opportunity of a life time and this info will last a life time in these books.
