What that nigga want God? 
Word up, look out for the cops [Wu-Tang five finger shit] 
(Cash Rules) Word up, two for fives over here baby 
Word up, two for fives them niggaz got garbage down the way, word up 
KnowhatI'msayin? 
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me 
C.R.E.A.M. get...) 
Yeah, check this ol fly shit out 
Word up 
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Take you on a natural joint
(C.R.E.A.M. get the money) Here we here we go 
(dolla dolla bill y'all) Check this shit, yo! 

Verse One: Raekwon the Chef 

I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side 
Staying alive was no jive 
At second hands, moms bounced on old men 
So then we moved to Shaolin land 
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose 
Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot 
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one 
And that one, pullin out gats for fun 
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend 
Started smokin woolies at sixteen 
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes 
Making my way on fire escapes 
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed 
The combination made my eyes bleed 
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all 
Sticking up white boys in ball courts 
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater 
Times is ruff and tuff like leather 
Figured out I went the wrong route 
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out 
Catchin keys from across seas 
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's 
Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the tech nine 
Ch-chick-POW! Move from the gate now 

Chorus: Method Man 

Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me 
C.R.E.A.M. 
Get the money 
Dollar, dollar bill y'all 

Verse Two: Inspector Deck 

It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin 
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival 
I peep at the shape of the streets 
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep 
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M. 
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15 
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much 
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not... 
The court played me short, now I face incarceration 
Pacin -- going up state's my destination 
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us 
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff 
But as the world turns I learned life is hell 
Living in the world no different from a cell 
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base 
Smokin bones in the staircase 
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess 
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed 
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth? 
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth 
Who explained working hard may help you maintain 
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain 
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks 
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot 
Leave it up to me while I be living proof 
To kick the truth to the young black youth 
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer 
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear 
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted 
That what? That life is hectic 

Outro: 

Chorus -- 4X 

Niggas gots to do what they gotta do, to get a bill 
YaknowhatI'msayin? 
Cuz we can't just get by no more 
Word up, we gotta get over, straight up and down 

Chorus -- 3X 

Cash Rules Everything Around Me 
C.R.E.A.M. 
get the money 
Dolla dolla bill y'aauhhhaaaauhhhhahhhauhhhhll, YEAH 

Assignment #16

Watercolor Painting Practice

Semester Reflection

1.) My final grade was a C, I don't understand how I got a C, I wanted my grade to be a B or A at least. I did a whole bunch of work and was able to get my grade up to a B. I also did good on my Final and Received a B on it, but I guess that B on my final brought my grade down somehow. I thought finals were supposed to bring your grade up now lower it. I guess I'll just have to accept what I got even though Im not happy about it.

2.) My favorite project was the Picasso Piece that we worked on. Making it was a great experience and I enjoyed the field trip that we took to the Picasso Exhibit. My least favorite project was the Documentary on   the Occupy Movement. I didn't like how it ended up and it was confusing.

3.) My senior year has been great and one of the best years of High School that I have experienced so far. I am on track to graduate and I have all the credits that are necessary for it. Im doing all my work and that is keeping me on track. I just have to stay focused and in the end I will succeed. I can't wait until I graduate so I won't have to worry about these classes anymore.

4.) Im looking forward to not having to take a whole bunch of classes that aren't necessary for my job. I can't wait to have more free time on my hands. Im just ready to live life and experience it to the fullest. I am kind of nervous cause the real world can be a scary place. I know that if I keep my confidence I will be able to become successful.

Activity #15 Free Write

Something that holds great regard in my life, has to be Hayward Tennyson Skatepark, but as we the Skaters who are the Locals there we call it 10 10. I have experienced some of the creates memories greatest memories that define who I am today. I remember waking up early everyday, going downstairs to get break fast and right after leaving my house to head over to Tennyson Skatepark. When I would arrive there all my friends would already be there and we would just spend the whole day skating without a care in the world. Time seemed non existent when I was there and nothing could ruin my day. I was able to push my self farther as a Skater and as a Person. Skating at Tennyson gave me the courage and the confidence I needed to make it in this world. I experienced my first Skate Competition there and also where I hit my first Rail. I met people there who eventually became like brothers to me. Even though things would get sketchy at times cause Tennyson Skate Park is in a bad area, we never let that stop us from doing what we love which is Skateboarding. I wouldn't trade all the jokes and laughs that I've experienced in that park for anything else in the world. It was sad to see less and less people show up and eventually the park became a ghost town...Even though things won't be the same anymore I still have my memories and with those Tennyson Park will never die.

Assignment #14 Revise Artist Statement

By studying some of Picasso’s great work, I was able to pick what kinds of style I would work with. I worked with photo shop and used all the tools that it provided, such as the brush and it’s warping feature. I used these to give my piece a kind of distorted perspective look, It doesn’t look like a normal painting. When I started I wasn’t really sure what it would end up looking like but I'm satisfied with the final result. I hope my piece makes people think harder then when they look at regular paintings I used bright colors such as green and yellow you express how happy I am in life. I don’t have any sad colors cause I am rarely ever sad in life. I decided to base the final look of my piece on my hope’s and dreams and the inner workings of my complex mind. The stars represent what I am shooting for in life, my goal in life is to be a star and to be recognized by every single person in the world.
