Phareke - Paranoid (Kendrick Lamar remix)

More Random Shit

It feels good to be loved and there is nothing wrong with the admission of a need for love.  I have committed to a life of living in love years ago and it as both been admired and frowned upon possibly for the reasons of needing it in my opinion.  It is the dependence on it that can make daily life challenging.  When you become dependent on something you feel like you never get enough of it.. you over look what is in front of you while wanting for more.  The shit I want is not unrealistic.. I want people to spread love honestly with others without letting jealousy and a lack of trust get in the way.  I am guilty of the things I wish against at times but I am mostly guilty of giving the same things I wish for, love. 

It isn't about success in the rap game for me (however you see success to be) and it may look like that to others you try to work with and collaborate with.  For others to think this must mean they believe they are already famous, or successful.  It isn't about how many ep's you release or how many albums your count is at or how hard you hustle your music or however you decide what makes "The Game" the game. 

To me you're successful when you move someone with your art, or when you use your art to express who you are or share an experience honestly and courageously.  Perhaps the next person who didn't have the courage to express the same experience may have found that courage after hearing your song.. errtime they hear your song.  That to me is success.  So the next time someone thinks that you spread your word in an effort to chase success, if you've ever touched one person's heart, then you've already seen the success they think you're chasing and that is a good thing.  Keep doing that good thing.

Still Living In The YYC

 Yuuuuup...

Still in Calgary.  Still reaching out to strangers and friends alike.  It's been six months since I began the 1 year count down to travel... 6 months left.  As expected, so much life has happened since then.  SO MUCH.  IT'S SURREAL.  It continues to be.  

Connections made and lost and still in search of friends.  A crew.  A crew that will treat me as an equal.  I think that large characters are intimidating to others.  Even intimidating to me at times, however, when in the presence of larger characters by my own perception, I, without false ego, put myself on their level by seeing them as another human and that must make me large as well.  We are all trying to get somewhere and if someone is different, they are just that, different.  They read a different book or learned a different lesson a different way.  Not better, different.  They can be better at something than you, but nobody is better at life than you.  Even if you live a life of suffering and them a life of pleasure and/or materialism we are just moving into the space that has already been set forth for us.. react.  When we sleep and connect, when we meditate and connect, when we make love and connect, when we feel the whole world as one and dualism seizes to exist.. That is what is real.  So, make your human existence a better one by actually making it a better one for others. 

Make sense? 

What seems like high expectations to others, seems like what a friends should be to me.  I guess, I still put a lot of weight on words.  I still, when someone says, I love you, put weight on what that is to me.  Well, I do the same thing when someone is like, "Oh yeah, Phareke is my friend..."  What are my brother's names?  Do I have a sister? What is her name?  How many neices do I have?  Have I lost any reletives?  What do you know about me to say you know me?"  Then they get hurt when I ask these questions and then I get disposed of.  Yet they, say good things, I think, about me while thinking I'm a ticking time bomb or over sensitive or just scared because I call people out on properly representing themselves in the world.  On over use of the word Love when speaking to others..

Do what you do but admit what you do.

I will practice love n forgiveness and continue working on the compassion part until others actually begin to follow in that path.

My name is Phareke
I wander the streets
Trying to spread love err day.
When people I meet
Ask me to speak
I stop and I turn and I say...
