To no surprise, the coming election which could end the death penalty in this State, has created and environment of fear that has enslaved tounges, killed spirits, and has scared the living streets out of the selfproclaimed realest.
The overall take away from this work, ecposes that each contributor is a true example that true unity is still achievable within our own community, no matter where we are, and that only real niggaz can step up to the vent and provide fresh circualtions of air, by having the courage to speak into a situation, that portion, of reality, that some would rather pretend doesn't exist, or, simply pass off as being nothing but a bunch of godamn noise.
Bro, we are with you, this work needs you,and we will not allow anyone to use our own shield's and spear'z against us, not even our own hearts, your leadership is required, along with the rest of us.

The resolution of power
It seems everyday, another unarmed black man is gunned down by the police. And everday, someone picks up a mic, or get online and rant about the injustice going on, but wheres the change? The bibble says: "Faith without works is dead", and I agree; "Protest without action is dead". You can march all you want, you can riot and loot, boycot, or even take a knee, but then what? Wheres the follow up? Wheres the action?
Though I do admire those who want to do things to start a "conversation", my question is, how much "conversation" are you going to have before you actually get up and do something? Let me be clear, when I say do something, I dont mean violence. I know some want to "fight fire with fire", but that won't cause anything but more of what we're mad about.
I truly believe nothing will change until we as a people are ready to start putting action into faith, instead of believing, or having faith that if we can start a "conversation" with the police, they'll, all of a sudden, start to hear us. I think we should become the cops, we should become the Mayor's and Govenor's, we, need to, as a community, come together and make sure our children get the education they need so that they can gain those positions of power.
Will it be easy? No. Will it be fast? Not as quick as we'd like, but, will it work? Yes! It will work, but it's up to us todo it, the police wont, the government wont, the president wont, but we will. It's time to beat the oppressors at their own game, it's time for us to take the power, and I'm willing to do the work, are you?

THE VENT (Epilogue)
It's good to see more people from all walks of life in outter society contribute their voices, resources and skillsets to the movement against the crisis of militarized police terrorist killings of Black people, in the streets of America.
While recognizing laws associated with free speech, and laws against incarcerating people without adequate ventilation systems, we became interested in displaying what a new generation of California's Death Row's population of rhyme slingers, and ink spillers, had to say about this issue.

the death penalty in this State, has created and
environment of fear that has enslaved tounges,
killed spirits, and has scared the living streets
out of the selfproclaimed realest.
The overall take away from this work, ecposes that
each contributor is a true example that true unity
is still achievable within our own community, no
matter where we are, and that only real niggaz can
step up to the vent and provide fresh circualtions
of air, by having the courage to speak into a
situation, that portion, of reality, that some would
rather pretend doesn't exist, or, simply pass off
as being nothing but a bunch of godamn noise.
