Acting Real Special (Part Four)

 Check us out as we come through on this Thankful Thursday so named because it's a blessing to be here!

Recognizing the Throwback Thursday time frame also catch us acting real special, retro futuristic with it when we're out here!

It's all love supposedly like Valentine's Day; catch me matching the composite sketch; an example of love's fluidity.

Doing it Fluid per the Donald Byrd and The Blackbyrds per the Throwback Thursday reference! maybe an unwilling  / reluctant participant  in some of these battles, in search of diplomatic immunity?

Acting real special but don't try to make me confess to doing what I do without some kind of compromise..

..or negotiation; when I start rapping or singing you probably won't like the song when I start to improvise.

I kept my eye on the prize acting real special sometimes extraordinary even though Brotha O-Zone is Everyday People like Sly and The Family Stone.

I kept my eye on the prize but unbought and unbossed like Hosea Williams check the black history during this month but actually 24 /7 /365? it's on!

We're acting real special but many are disheartened by the ongoing proceedings.

Some are acting real special from here in Atlanta to Kansas City to even the Gaza Strip! in the heart of this? bearing witness to a harvest of seedings..

..sowing feverishness but check it out; y'all see it's of a negative persuasion.

Acting real special but not in a positive way; now many of the negative doctrine believers are in conditions forlorn.

We Kept It Moving As Usual, But We Had To Sacrifice PT. 10 (It's Like This And Like That)

 We kept it moving as usual knowing we would have to sacrifice; especially since another Monday morning has pulled up on us.

We'll keep grooving and continue to drop this good word utilizing this time we’re blessed with: it's a bonus!

It's on us to put it down like this, we kept it moving but its rough out here! from here in Atlanta to Rafah in the Gaza Strip we dealt with situations that were disheartening.

Its on us to put it down like this!  Black History Month?  we kept hope alive per Rev. Jesse Jackson; back in action per rejuvenated beginnings?

Once again it's on! after observing the scene we're ready to roll  / we're on our way with zeal! we ignored whispers of yesterday.

Don't get me wrong! some episodes? encouraging,  made me the man I am today but some were next level dramatics that'll cause delay.

Life doesn't have a pause / play button so we keep working it all out check these next level mathematics used to seize the day!

We're down for the cause, we kept it moving even though we had to sacrifice plus opposition was met; thought and fashion police didn't like the way we play!

Opposition was met, let us pray was the answer per the old school Baptist preacher up in Louisville setting off the healing process but salt was thrown into open wounds; haters? they were ruthless.

Opposition was met; greedflation per corporate boards of directors policies? we felt them, they're not toothless.

Oh yes! we felt them! they took a bite out of all of us; endeavors shuttered?

Crickets from the media like the Trump vs NATO situation making me think the whole game is shady but I keep moving even though we had to sacrifice; unfettered.

Staying Strong (Supreme Courage and Maximum Strength) Part Nine

 Earlier? mentioned the perspective per life being hectic, damn! per these Throwback Thursday reflections has it always been this way?

Work with me, don’t get me wrong; it’s a blessing to be here on what I also refer to as a Thankful Thursday!

The science dropped is appropriate for any day though; it’s rough out here but we’re talking about staying strong!

Supreme courage and maximum strength will be needed, the apparatus had us waiting in the dark but we’re not staying long!

Doing the knowledge / doing the math, we’re not staying wrong! we’re trying to Do The Right Thing per Spike Lee. 

Check the Black History not just in February / Throwback Thursday reference in a spot where there’s no benevolence, somebody might feel me!

My constituents know what the deal is, as we broadcast live from a remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta, chilling in a mini-on mini-mansion aka rehabbed castle. 

Relaxing, healing / dealing with that and this coaxing silent answers that were in front of me if I just looked up; there’d be no hassle!

Staying strong, healing / dealing with that and this; soon visited by a library of souls with a galaxy of words. 

Not how this dude rolls; please! per Russia / Ukraine they’ll talk about wars and rumors of wars! that’s how the fallacy occurs. 

Out there in the grey area scenarios supreme courage and maximum strength will need to be utilized!

Staying strong will be strategy needed as we deal with those that want to see us come undone / defeated; they’re legions of them like in reference to demons in the Bible; don’t be shocked / surprised!

Staying Strong (Supreme Courage And Maximum Strength) Part Seven

 Blessed to see this Sunday morning; now we’re trying to get our minds right per these reflections. 

Staying strong as we run another play; supreme courage and maximum strength is needed at these intersections.  

Then we’ll proceed with caution, exercising an abundance of it when the traffic signal changes; but the road ahead is full of traffic calming devices. 

AKA speed bumps / obstacles;  the devil and his advocates try to see us get over these bumps like it’s the middle of the week or our HumpDay Extravaganza so they’ll try to stop us, we’re left to our own devices. 

Staying strong, but some of us are paying high prices, not just per pandemic inflation that's not Joe Biden’s fault; betwixting  desires led to unlit fires or ones that are smoldering. 

Supreme courage and maximum strength needed in situations that are bewitching?  strolls at midnight through the maples a bold thing?

A cold thing per ways of the world? staying strong as the drama unfurled but who’s in dismay? 

Supreme courage and maximum strength needed per it being an old thing? reviewing past episodes per Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday?  checking Black History not just here in February, it’s been this way!

Staying strong after a cold thing? they said it’s all love like Valentines Day but others say the Thrill Was Gone per BB King. 

Supreme courage and maximum strength needed after the next episode?  a selfish goodbye, even a return of a ring. 

Staying strong as some were caught out there /  lost along the way; they forgot their roots. 

Supreme courage and maximum strength is needed as that ship is out to sea; 20 / 20 hindsight? now some are astute. 

I Can See What They're Saying (Part Six)

It's going down on this Fabulous Friday but this science dropped is appropriate for any day...

It's going down on this Flashback Friday!!  science was dropped by ancestors per this Black History Month;  per the back in the day episodes, checked the modes now "I can see what they say"

I can see what they're saying by the games that the apparatus is still  playing,  but Black History? we're still making every day in every way..

I can see what they're saying!! in these games? check the status!!  O-Dizzle aka O-Dog is up in here beat breaking while O-Zone will utilize a Fresh View / Fresh Vision  in every way, every day..

I can see what they're saying!! in these games? plans fizzle as shade tree mechanics provide the shoddy workmanship..

You'll probably see me praying due to the games the apparatus is playing; the status quo? there's no Trump quid pro quo!! a brotha can't work with it..

.....was told blessings come down, even though devils kept messing around!! others were asking,  did they miss out on something?

Stressing the masses that were trying to make advances, like Trump dealing with Russia devils were bold; so cold!! all up in this and that; asking me did I miss something?

Told them I wasn't missing anything!! I could see the Trump Putin ticket for 2020; per Flashback Friday? I   was like what I heard Funk Master Flex saying;  "I see and know about everything moving"

Maybe somebody can see what I'm saying!! beats bump and science?  O-Zone is kicking!! rolling down I-20 in Atlanta or  moving through the universe at a high velocity with the speed you need; showing and proving!

Maybe somebody can see what I'm saying!! but are you cursed or blessed I was asked? some were  told that those two concepts live in the same neighborhood!

Maybe somebody can see what I'm saying!! roles were rehearsed; I chilled with preachers and convicts while keeping it 100;  excuse me but per default settings? a bruh is still hood!

I Can See What They're Saying (Part Three)

Somebody mentioned, for this year 2020 they'll keep their eyes open, utilizing their 20 /20 vision...

I mentioned hindsight is 20 /20, trying to get my mind right reflecting as I dip down I-20 here in Atlanta; on this Terrible / Terrific Tuesday things can go either way! claiming the terrific outcome,  your dude is on a mission...

As I dip down I-20 in Atlanta I noticed the skies are clearing up, the clouds move away but weather forecasters predict more rain...

O-Dizzle mentioned the smoke and mirrors per the manipulated horrors and terrors; he can see what they're saying!!  but jokers were loathing / fearing; now so called pundits / experts / forecasters predict more reign..

...from Trump; but even though the reign began with a drizzle plans can fizzle; heard the prayer warriors praying, plus O-Zone mentioned that it all can fall apart...

Jokers will be subject to the authority, a higher one O-Zone is not lying to one; some will be able to see what he's saying from the bottom of his heart..

Subjects in a hostile territory?  per Black History Month a brotha rides for freedom like original Freedom Riders; I can see what  they're saying, spiritually they'll confide with us as we're  caught in the middle of turf wars;  we're asking whats good in the hood while we're out here swerving!!   solving the riddle; but earthlings will develop another one; a little something to keep you guessing.

Rolling like Freedom Riders the 2.0 version!! out here where good and evil collide / coincide, earthlings have wars rumors of wars!!!  it'll keep you stressing while others sit back and laugh!! to the devil and his advocates it's entertainment while they're chilling..

...eating Hibachi meals at Japanese restaurants, drinking adult beverages and smoking cigars in the smoking section!

Whats up with me? I can see what they're saying so I'm just bringing more math; not too much joking in this section.

What's up with me? I can see what they're saying!!  it is what it is on this path but as we enter attack zones we'll bring the percussions!! the sonic insurrection will knock some off balance.

What's up with me? I can see what they're saying!! basically; this is the retribution!! karmic repercussions for those that showed malice!

It Was Way Too Real PT.8

Digital Crate Digging Continues on a Flashback Friday, after this word from our sponsor O-Zone..

The saga / struggle continues as we flash back to the future per this Black History Month; it's way too real!!  history is celebrated plus more is being made today; once again it's on!!

The saga / struggle continues, it's way too real!!  bruising and battering the ego of a Negro / aka African American!!

The rules haven't changed!! Tina Turner said we didn't need another hero but Kamala Harris and now Cory Booker are running for president rebuking the current resident who let us know that  in love or war nothing is fair again!

...as if it ever was; so what's up cuz? I'm trying to share again!! hopefully this breakbeat science is therapeutic. 

But like I said, it was way too real; like Elliot Abrams back on the scene again in Venezuela others should be scared again!! others couldn't make up their mind,  acting brand new with it!

But like I said, it was way too real;  Stacy Abrams will speak truth to power per the State of the Union response to ongoing cons; plus check our response,  this is not generic!! per Flashback Friday? we had our mind made up like Instant Funk;  folks can get it!!

.....anytime;  all day and everyday!! how did we play?  we're rolling up with the Sonic Assault like we're in Abrams tanks!!  like I mentioned earlier about the flash back to the future we can't let up!

We're still rolling out here on I-20 in Atlanta home of Super 53!!  what's the deally?  it's way too real as some will get played!! set up by wannabe brokers who're just jokers;  still out here  trying to run the okey-doke.

It was way too real; O-Zone I prayed, that's how he made it!! knew all about the inside joke!

It was way too real!! in this zone motivation was provided to go for broke; now we've got that Friday Feeling!!

It was way too real!! it's om once again!! broken beats and English will rebuke the shady dealing!!

Retro Futuristic Mystic Going Ballistic PT.8

Like the  Devin Nunes memo drama the situation is chaotic,  administered by those psychotic?  so what can we expect? 

This retro-futuristic mystic is going ballistic on this Flashback Friday!! no rocket scientist was needed to see progress is impeded;   who can we respect?

Doctors mentioned probiotics were needed for the restoration;  the natural process was interrupted. 

Doctor  O-Dizzle cosmic slopped it!!  that's how we played it!!  this natural process wasn't corrupted! 

What's the dizzle / what's up with it?   we didn't quit and didn't stop,  we kept it moving! 

Oh!!  "it ain't nothing nice" ;  we had to sacrifice!  now we're show and proving! 

But actually?  we're not about proving something to the next one!  "it is what it is and what it's going to be"

Like Robert Mueller ready to indict Trump we're moving on to the next level,  because there's so many! but some can't see. 

Acting brand new with ya? oh!! we spotted the ode to Black History Month;  respect was given to innovators and visionaries. 

Plotted / schemed?  history is in the making, but  repeating per Trump State Of The Union address?  the vision for some is scary. 

This retro-futuristic mystic is going ballistic!! this mission isn't arbitrary it's required!!  per Flashback Friday we keep on trucking like Eddie Kendricks!! we're rolling down I-20 in Atlanta with a sense of purpose. 

Rolling like Swift trucks!! check the train of thought!! rolling like the trains on tracks parallel to I-20 per the  interstate commerce.
