Dreamer
26sec
Yea im just a dreamer
with dreams of getting big
ever since i was a little kid
reminisce to the first time i ever spit
on the mic played it back shit sounded so bad
coulda quit and stayed mad
but i never gave up hope
thinking one day people would listen to the lyrics i wrote
and hear em say whooo that boy is dope
yea that boy is gonna blow onto the hip hop scene
and i save it like the hero am i dreaming? i dont know
but i never wanna let it go
hard work pays off
im the living proof i used to weigh 200 pounds before
now i aint even scared to take my shirt off anymore
took all the fat jokes and watched my perserverence grow
will i ever lose that dedication? what you think? hell no
Hello to all the ones that hated on my lyrical ability
now yah the ones who be lookin silly
thought your harsh words could faze me? not really?
not when my dreams to make a milly
put your lighters up if yah feel me
successful in any endeavers you meet
all you gotta do is believe
so when your feelin down take a listen to this melody
let it be your therapy, put yah head phones on
let the beat drop and set you free
when i rap i get a feeling even better than a drug i guess that its my ecstacy
142sec
Im dreaming of a better place where i can go and know that im the star
rapping in the spot light and im rocking this crowd like
side to side with my hands up high
this is what i call the good life
yea its finally my time to shine
so im still dreaming yea i got a feeling
tonight ill be chilling with some pretty girls
209 sec
honestly im feeling insecure and lonely
I wish i had a girl who could really know me
show me the better things in life
yea i lay it out while im grippin the mic
cant give up now my future lookin bright
grind a little harder get my head right
get those drugs outta my sight
man im done with the high life

Sweet Georgia
Okay its been a while but i decided to share one of my essays from this school year. I happen to suck very much at writing as shown by my 450 writing on my SAT lol but this essay is the best piece I have ever written.
I am a true Georgia boy. I was born in 1991 at Grady Memorial hospital and I have been a resident here for all 17 years of my life. I have lived in Dekalb County for seven years and Gwinnett County for ten years. Most people who grow up in the south usually want to move elsewhere by the time they reach adulthood. However, I would never be able to leave because I love my sweet Georgia.
One would not expect a Korean American to enjoy the south. Most Korean people are attracted to the big city areas such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago because of the similarity in the city life found in South Korea. For me Georgia is just fine. I love everything about the south except for the bipolar weather of Georgia. Nevertheless there is something about driving down highway 85, gazing across the city skyline of Atlanta at night, and the sight of planes taking off from Hartsfield Jackson airport that gives me a magical feeling of truly belonging in the south.
Being an Atlanta native I am also deeply attached to all the Atlanta sports teams. Which I probably adopted from my dad's obsession with the Atlanta Braves. I have always been a fan of the Falcons, Hawks, Braves, and the Thrashers. I have weeped through the terrible losing streaks of all the Atlanta teams, and I have also rejoiced with my fellow Atlanta natives through the Superbowl, NBA playoffs, World Series, and the NHL playoffs. I can still remember the ecstasy flowing through my body while attending my first Braves game at Turner Field. Yelling with joy as I saw Mat Ryan throw his first touchdown pass to Roddy White, and the day Josh Smith completely posterized Steve Nash for the most thunderous dunk I have witnessed in person.
My affection for Georgia does not only pertain to my love of the sports teams but also the food found in the south. I do not know how I would be able to function without a All Star special from Waho or the Chik Fil A combo with the special Georgia iced sweet tea. I can honestly say that I have been around true Georgia cooking all my life.
Who would believe my parents actually owned and ran a soul food restaurant called The Grill for four years. The restaurant was located on Walton Street just a few blocks away from the CNN Tower and Underground Atlanta. I remember waking up at 5:00 every Friday during the summer breaks to help my parents run the restaurant. For seven hours I would be surrounded by the aroma of grits, biscuits, chitlins, steak, fried okra, mac & cheese, and fried chicken wings. After business hours my family along with Laura a long time employee of my parents would sit down and eat the leftovers for the day yet, it is still the best southern food I have ever had in my life.
These fond memories along with all the unique people I have become friends with makes me feel truly blessed to live in the south. I cannot picture myself living anywhere else for like Ray Charles I only have Georgia on my mind.

change
After doing some pretty stupid things this summer and realizing I need to change. I've decided to set some goals.
1. I'm going to be nice to everyone no matter who it is.
A couple of close friends of mine told me they were worried for me. I always rebuked what they said saying I haven't changed, but as I see the people around me and my actions of late I've realized I don't like the person I've become. I'm going to change for the better.
2. Quit smoking.
It's bad for my health, and after a deep talk with my Dad I've realized its for the best.
3. Quit drinking.
There was a time in my life where I did not even touch alcohol. It fucks you up, puts you in a different state of mind, and makes you do things you normally wouldn't do.

lifestyles
Everyone has differing lifestyles.
Mine is actually quite simple.
Yet, there are a few things that are best left kept secret...
Just because I do some things that most people don't do it does not make me a bad person.
A few people may know what I am talking about...
I have the same goals as everyone our age- go to college and live a successful life.
What I do is what I chose to do, if you cannot except me at my worst then you do not deserve me for the best.

Dear Mama
I said im sorry mama. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight im cleaning out my closet.
I try so hard to please you mom. Get the grades, surprise you with gifts, mow the lawn, vacuum the house, and rent you those korean dvds you like. I come home early, do my work first, and stay out of trouble. Why ma do you always get mad at me for little things. Im tired of saying sorry to you every time something happens even when its not my fault because I know if I dont apoligize you'll stay mad. You always tell me I hold this family together. Have you ever thought that I'm hurting too. That I have my problems and that smile you see everyday might be a painful one. Yet I smile and apoligize everytime. Not this time ma it's getting me sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yet, I still love you ma I just hope you realize that before its too late.

Zee Avi
Typically I wouldn't listen to music like this but something about this girl's voice and melodies are so captivating. I thought I should share great music like this with you guys. Zee Avi is a girl from Malaysia who recently signed a record deal because of her youtube videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0rafi5CG5M Zee Avi - Bitter Heart
Despite the title the music is very catchy and uplifting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCsPpXsdwBU Zee Avi - Someone You Used To Know
A very touching song and the lyrics strike so deeply.
Every now and then when I hear new songs or artists I like I'll share them with you guys.
Music can ease the pain, get a party started, or even, resolve a conflict because of how beautiful it can be.
