P So, it's obvious during that time when, "IT WAS ON", revolts everywhere, War,
but for us now, I dont think it's always smart to go for the gun, as
we are now seeing an enemy in different forms, Police, Justice System,
Poverty etc... and a gun, in my opinio cant deal with all those in
one whop; we need way more than guns.

XZ So glad you just said that because, do you think Harriet Tubman's gun
was also used to snap other slaves out of the...

P OK, I got cha, and, whoa, aint no tellen, now that we are looking at the
movement from that angle, because one can only imagine the level of fear and
comfort back then, niggaz loved massa...

....(both laughing)

XZ Boy, did you just say nigga, and massa?

P Yeah, I aint got no hang up's, so I said Niggaz was scared, like we
got scary ass niggaz today, some are comfortable where they are, and
love them some massa, so, Her gun, yeah...

XZ It's a gang of lil Harriet Tubmans today, and do they have the time to convince,
or negotiate with our own to simply get up, move together and escape slavery?
P Look homie, we've seen it over and over in our generation, awareness is the new
gun, awareness is the new movement, and it resonates with the youth because
BLACK LIVES MATTER, and groups like Ms. Tubman have something that she didn't,
online access to information with a simple push of a key, or button.

(CIVIL UNREST):

XZ How old were you in the 1992 civil unrest?

P I was in High School, and people was calling it The Rodney King Riots, but
it was the Civil Rights movement at that moment, in retrospect.

XZ I want to talk to the Piankhi in High School, infact, in that moment,
because, for society, one moment you was that lil Black Boy nextdoor,
and then, what happend? How did you see it?

P Seriously, I was young, Man, I didn't even know about the Watts Riots, and...

XZ Hold up, The older people was still in recovery mode, or just left Los Angeles,
Compton and Watts, and us lil Niggaz was just pretty much outhere on our
own, the older people only talked about Jesus.
P Exactly, so, I dont know why people automatically think that we knew about
all if that, but 1992 was Marshal Law, it was a site to see, you
dont know how good it felt when I learned about Nat Turner and Niggaz
fighting back, and here, I was in the middle of "A Riot in my "Juvenile",
"Thug mind", it was a new generation awakening, I mean, it was a rude
awakening, but, awh man...

XZ And you felt what? Real talk, the fires, shots fired, smoke, physical
violence, Im saying, without admitting to anything...lol;... Im only interested
in what you remember feeling in those moments?

(The Tone):
Tonight is march 14, 2016, I think it's near 9:30pm. it's what we call, "Last Walk",
That's when this shift of Cops walk each tier for the last time before the first
whatch cop shift starts.

Seems like everyone in the block is still getting used to time springing forward due to daylight
savings, clock rotation, so it's quiet in between the every 30 minute loud clanking sound that
wierdo cop, C.O. Brown makes as he hits the metal trayslot of each cell with what
is called "a Pipe", and if that dont drive a man nuts, before last walk, that
loud clank sound of Metal on Metal noise comes with a "Beep Sound", yes, Four
tiers, with 54 cells on each tier, no, Im not kidd'n ya, All day, every day, and
if I wasn't crazy before, Im pretty sure that Im super bananas now, lol;...

(lil Nigga Nextdoor):
Prankhi has been wanting to pick up from where we left off in our last
cipher, but he has no idea that Ive got some pointed questions specifically
for him, so I can personalize, so that our readers can gauge his development,
and transition, into adulthood.

This one is not an interview, my aim tonight is to give all of you, a realistic
look, into the minds of American innercity youth, specifically, this,
lil Black Boy next door, in the next prison cell, next to your home, your
community, next city, in the next state, in the next life, lil Nigga Nextdoor.

(The Harriet Tubman Effect):

XZ I want to kick this off by asking you about the "Harriet Tubman Effect."
P The what? What do she got to do with...?

XZ Sometime ago, I saw a drawing of Her, depicting Her, on the move, and holding
a large hand gun, I have no idea where it came from, but...

P You know what, I've seen that, not here, but from before...

XZ Good, glad you caught that image, you see, for me, it begs to question exactly
who that gun was for...
