My Mom kills me. She sends around some pretty funny stuff… 

‘They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.
I can’t even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain’t,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be…

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads!
You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we’ve got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?
And they won’t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talki ng about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2 ? 
Where wer e you when he was 12 ? 
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn’t know that he had a pistol ? 
And where is the father?  Or who is his father?’ Whos yo Daddy?’ shouldn’t be a question anyone should have to ask ! ! !
People putting their clothes on backward: Isn’t that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn’t that a sign of something ?
Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?
Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa.
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.’

Dr. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

Borrowed Time

Lovin' Family

Jay Marinacci

We lost Jay last year in December. Some sort of reaction to some medication I believe. He was one of the people that I loved. I sing his song all the time and remember what a funny, magical kind of guy he was. I miss him.
Rest well little buddy.

Borrowed Time
Words and Music by Jay Marinacci

WHEN I LOOK IN THE FACES OF THE CHILDREN AT THEIR PLAY
I CAN STILL SEE THE SUNSHINE OF A LONG FORGOTTEN DAY
THEY TELL ME 1T’S NOT OVER YET BUT THAT’S ALL THEY CAN SAY
I TURN AND HURRY DOWN THE ROAD SILENTLY AWAY

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN STILL SEE CLEARLY ON THE EDGES OF MY PAST
THE SHATTERED GLOW OF TIMELESS MAN AND A THOUGHT THAT WOULDN’T PASS
A VOICE IS ECHOING THROUGH MY SOUL AND THE FLAGS ARE AT HALF-MAST
I CAN’T REMEMBER IF I ATE LAST NIGHT, OR WHERE I SLEPT

BORROWED TIME IS ALL WE’VE GOT TODAY
BORROWED TIME LIKE A NEEDLE IN THE HAY
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY THOUGHT LIKE ME
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY TAUGHT LIKE ME
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY FOUGHT LIKE ME

I CAN HEAR THEM COMIN’ I CAN HEAR THEM COMIN’
BOUT’ A MILE OUTTA TOWN I GOTTA’ KEEP ON MOVIN
OR I SURELY WILL BE FOUND OILMAN, GOLDMAN, TAX WILL YOU TELL
ME WHERE I’M BOUND?
YA SEE THEY AIN’T LIVIN ON BORROWED TIME
THEY TOOK IT FROM US
AND THEY TOOK IT FROM OUR GROUND

BORROWED TIME IS ALL WE’VE GOT TODAY
BORROWED TIME, TIME TO FIND A BETTER WAY
BORROWED TIME IN THE GROUND WE’RE GONNA LAY
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY THOUGHT LIKE ME
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY TAUGHT LIKE ME
YES I KNEW SOME PEOPLE ONCE AND THEY FOUGHT LIKE ME
