Today as I left class I gazed up at the BU Central (North) skyline and saw for the thousandth time its apex...the decrepit but towering School of Law. Most of the buildings at BU have a handful of floors, whatever. This building has the footprint of a pizza joint but it goes up 18 stories. And it’s all weird looking and shit…I'm pretty sure that if all my friends within a zip code or two of 02215 were all meditating together in the Zen park next to it that we could push the damn thing over if we wanted to.

So anyway I get the idea, "Now THAT would be a good building to climb to the top of." It's something I fucks with now and again ever since back at W.A. when a few friends and I navigated the guts of Warner Auditorium to emerge victorious on the roof overlooking the quad. That's a good feeling. Never mind the adventure of creeping through inaccessible rooms, scaffolding, ladders, the offerings of those who came before us (graffiti, empties, a photograph) and repeated dead-ends. I wasn't born in the projects and I can't really be a wandering samurai so what's a beb to do?

Now had I attempted topping the law building alone, I probably would have been able to, sure. But I called my inside Caplan and he told me he knows how to get to the top, and we can do it Wednesday. Sometimes it’s who you know, even when you've got the W inside. After all, I really ain't here to waste any time. At 23 I'm older'n I ever was, and I can't relive a single one of the good times I've had, that ain't real.

so wednesday, i'ma pray for sunshine, to sun mine
gotta call the doctor up, yup, but i'll be on time
(inhale) air's so clean up here, and i be breathin it
murky niggas down in the street and i be seein it
dropped your books nigga, dropped your pencil too
(laughter)laugh as i dangle a dollar down in front of you
and yeah i want that too, and i'll be gettin it
gotta fly (birdcall) my way up to the top, then i'll be sexin it
you want a dollar honey? come here and talk to me
i think you should pose for a picture in my magazine
we call it trumbull shawty, you see it on the stands
me and sami CEO you look like u understand.

Writing my first verse for the Trumbull Empire took a lot out of me. PLEASE! If you did not read it in the voice of Wheezy F. Baby, GO BACK and try it again, I would never attempt to stand here in my white skin and stupid voice and spit fresh at you all.

In conclusion, look for a photo update later this week ;-)
