MAN UP

116 CLIQUE

Lecrae:

Momma want some Obama in me

The hood want PAC hip-hop wanna see the common in me

And since it's a senseless contradiction

I end up a misfit trying to fit in

This is when I stand up

And see the hands that are standard

Holy is The lamb huh(holy is the lamb)

Now we holding you to man up

Cause we were made in his image start looking at what you came from

KB:

Right after Adam every atom in our anatomy's Adamic adamant after what Adonai is against

Let me take you back to the tree in Eden

If you read it, you'll see that Eve was deceived

But Adam is the one who let her eat it

Instead of leading, No we ain't leading - we bump that

Basically li'l boys with muscles and a mustache

To femininity...we need a remedy

The God-Man: 100% masculinity

Trip Lee:

We the last.....

Where the men at, seems like they all lost

None of them are on the scene, seems like they died off

They extinct but my dream is to rise up

We chasing the prize of the King the divine boss

But we fell away, now we ungodly

We lose and we really got the blues like Na'vi

I want to celebrate the dudes that's beside me

Fellas let's elevate, we through with the lobby

Tedashii:

Go ahead say boy get your shine on

And if a sucker try to block you get your 9 homes

That's what I heard you gotta do to be a man now

Stand up for yourself so I took it in my hands now

And that's the problem man we busy trying to solve it

All the while we walking dead, man somebody bring the coffin

Voice drop peach fuzz now you think that your a man cause you feeling yourself

You need to man up!

Sho Baraka:

There's many things

Man is chasin' after

They got some questions

We got some answers

Sex and models and tipping bottles

Pack a pile of excuses right next to your bottle caps

A roll of decks filled with names that you aim to please

Next to the stack of money building up a heart of greed

Ice on his neck, givin' jokers the cold shoulder

You drunk off pride plus you loving the hangover

You gotta whole lotta stuff that won't amount to gain

Life will never make sense(cents) because you never made change

PRo:

We got it twisted, sick like a fever

Lil man live to stack dough, Keebler

Man up!

Get up out of that treehouse

Leave the cookies alone it's time to eat meat now

Trying to show you a new way to live now

No charge, you can call it a freestyle

Without Christ you wont know what a man is

You a boy in a man's body like Tom Hanks in Big

Andy Mineo:

Being a man got nothing to do with age

You can be a boy til the day you lay in your grave

None of us behave in the image of who we're made

Cause we fallen the ways it's better known as depraved

Running from responsibility really we crave

The easy way out of places that call us to pull our weight

Man they blowing through everyday decisions are made

Responding to the call God's giving em from the...

All:

Man Up!

Andy:

Let the process begin, separate the boys from the men

All:

Man Up!

Andy:

It don't matter how you started, partner, it's about how you end

All:

Man Up!

Andy:

Jesus is the model follow us we gon follow him

All:

Man Up!

Andy:

We the- we the last of a dying breed

It's time that we

All:

MAN UP!

My quote of the day

God sees beyond the tears, 

He hears beyond the desperation,

and He loves us beyond our own understanding.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Taste the beauty of love and fall in love with it, hide in it, clothe your heart with it, until there is nothing left but love within you.

Broken Dreams

Sometimes it takes a broken dream to have a hint of reality. So wake up dreamers, leave the broken pieces and live a new life. Start dreaming a new one, something that will benefits your future.

Dreams are made for us to have hope,

Dreams are made as a hiding place to escape reality,

Dreams are made for us to be anyone, anywhere and anything but ourselves at this present moment.

Some dreams are just dreams. 

Some dreams are ambition, goals and expectations.

In other word, dreams are something that we imagine, we want, we eager to have in our life because we do not have it yet. 

But, the sad part is that many of us have been dreaming for way too long and fell asleep. 

Then, one day we woke up and realized that it is all just a dream, nothing real. 

Some of us are doing something to make the dream comes true and some have succeeded, 

while others did their best only to witnessed their own dreams became 

nightmares.

This message is for those who did their best, struggled and failed. 

I am one of those people and I am here to say, "Wake up and let's move on!". 

As much as we wanted to live that particular dream, 

sometimes it takes a broken dream to have a hint of reality. 

Some dreams are not too late, 

some are way too late and way overdue.

Today is the day when we said, enough!

Today is the day when we said, move on!

Please stop pity yourself and comparing yourself to others who might "live" your dream. 

Stop the hate, the jealousy and the nonsense. 

Life offers us so much more than just a broken dream. 

We HAD that dream, 

now let's dream some more that will benefits our future.

Good luck dreamers..awaken your soul!

Beyond The Tears

God hears our prayers beyond our problems,
God sees our hearts beyond our loneliness,
God understands our thoughts beyond our limitation,
God speaks our languages beyond our understanding.

God hears our cry beyond the walls that we built,
God knows our sadness beyond the barrier that we built,
Walls and barriers that we built our whole life,
To prevent hurts, lovers and enemies to cross that line..again!

God moves our faith through it all,
God increases our strength through our weakness moments,
God lifted our hopes up in the midst of chaos,
God stirred our compassion in the middle of crisis.

Why?

Because God knows what works,
Because God cares,
Because God sees beyond the tears and the walls and the barrier and the problem and the chaos,
Because He is the same God who introduced love, hope and faith in human race.

xoxo

~We Remember 9/11~

9.11.2001

September 11th 2001 was the day that changed America and its people. It was the day of sorrow, sadness, evil, and darkness. It was the day where Americans and those who hates evil, united in prayers, helping, sharing, and strengthened one another in hope for a better tomorrow. It was the day that God cried and so did America!

"The city is going to survive, we are going to get through it, It's going to be very, very difficult time. I don't think we yet know the pain that we're going to feel when we find out who we lost, but the thing we have to focus on now is getting this city through this, and surviving and being stronger for it." 

-Rudolph Giuliani-

“Terrorism against our nation will not stand.”

-President George W. Bush –

"Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger."

-President George W. Bush-

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “

-President George W. Bush-

Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.

-President George W. Bush-

"The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example."

-Benjamin Disraeli-

"Heroism feels and never reasons, and therefore is always right."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson-

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “

-President George W. Bush-

Videos are taken from www.youtube.com

It has been ten years since this tragedy took place in America. We had seen tragedy, death and wars. We have seen life, death and those who challenged evil to the end. We have seen courage and coward. We have seen good and evil. We have seen attacking and defending. We have seen triumph and loss.

We forgave, we moved on with our lives, we survived. Yes indeed! But, we will not forget those who laid down their lives, made the ultimate sacrifices so that others may live. WE will not forget the families who lost their loved ones on that day. The friends who lost their buddies because some evil doers believe that killing is the right way to control the world. We will not forget what happened on 9/11, we learned and we prepared.

We forgive and we move on, but we have seen everything and..

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

My heart, prayers and thoughts for the victims families and friends. For the heroes, the fallen and the brave, you are gone but not forgotten!

"You can be sure that the American spirit will prevail over this tragedy." 

-Colin Powell-

"Just Do It"

When you think that your life needs to be different, then the change must started with you. So many times, it is very hard to change something that we get used of doing or thinking. But, many times that's what make life stuck from moving forward.

Some people calls it "Comfort Zone" but what if it is not comforting at all? Some might say, well we do it because that is what we know. In other word, we programmed our mind and we trained our body to get use doing something over and over again, whether we like it or not. It is not good for our health mentally, physically and spiritually. Stress caused so much pain and sickness and depression.

People say that when we love our job, we don't feel like working. Yes, but sometimes you need the money and the jobs that comes to you are not exactly something you love, but it pays the bills and lifestyle LOL.

So, what happened when you are trapped in your own world? I think the answers will be varied, due to anyone's opinions, pros and cons. But, NIKE says it best "Just do it" :)

However, in life, we need to learn to stop walking and see where are standing at the moment. If we think we must continue walking on the same road, then go for it. But, when we realize that we have been walking in circle and there has got to be a change in direction to reach our destination, then go on a different road. Many times we get lost and we seek no help. Try to find help. May it be some advices, ideas or just another fresh set of eyes, might help us making decision to chose the path.

When we chose to change direction, it might take a while to get where we wanted, but hopefully it will ended with what we want to accomplished. At least we try and if it does not work, then it is time to chose a different road or maybe different technique. Like they say "Expecting a different result doing the same thing is insanity."

Good luck on your search, walk, process and may we all will be arrived at our destination with a smile on our face. It won't be easy but it is worth the try. Who else is going to change our life if it was not started with "MYSELF?"

You have ONE life to live, 

ONE body to take care, 

MANY opportunities in life, 

DIFFERENT path to choose, 

MANY possibilities to gain. 

Don't waste your life doing something that you hate. 

It is time to make a decision to change and ..

JUST DO IT!

Loyalty

via

They say that a dog is a man's best friend, and for slain Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson, 35, and his beloved and loyal dog Hawkeye, not even death could break this powerful bond. At his funeral in Rockford on August 19, his beloved canine lay at the foot of Tumilson's casket throughout the ceremony. (For more of this story. please click here)

It is amazing what your dog will show you throughout your lifetime and theirs. I have been an animal lover ever since I was a kid. I always rescue stray cats and have a lot of dogs. My first loyal dog that I mourned when he died was RINGO, a German Shepherd. When he died he laid on the grass by our yard and give me the look of "farewell kid, I'll see you on the other side. I am too sick, but I love you"

Hawkeye, the dog, is one of many dogs who will show us the true meaning of loyalty, friendship, partnership and love. Most of us, human, forget about loyalty. It is an amazing bond between a human and their beloved dog.

RIP J.T, you are forever loved!
HOOYAH!

Chose Love and Let Love Wins Over Evil

Sometimes what seemed to be love was simply just lust.

What blinds us to see the truth?

What makes us able to chose?

Is it reality, pain or maybe a sweet love?

Sometimes what seemed to be the truth was simply a blind faith.

What blinds us to see the truth?

What makes us able to chose?

Is it facts, hopes, or maybe denial?

Sometimes what seemed to be dream comes true was simply a reality of life itself,

We were too blind to see happiness because we did not look at the center of life itself.

We were too scared to step in reality because dream world seems promising,

We were too prideful to chose love over stupidity of a temporary feeling.

What or who comes between you and your happiness must be love and only love,

If its other than love, then let it go!

If its other than love, then it does not worth losing yourself!

If its other than love, then it is pure evil!

Chose love,

Chose life,

Chose wisdom!
