I Had My Father Get Sick When I Was 22. And I Was Poor, Alright. And My Father Had An Ulcer, And It Exploded

I had my father get sick when I was 22. And I was poor, alright. And my father had an ulcer, and it exploded and you know all these toxins get in your blood. And basically, my father died, whatever, 50 days after his ulcer. So I had a father get sick while I was poor. My mother got sick when I was rich. And my mother, you know… I don’t really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. And my mother’s alive. My mother’s fine, OK? I remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, ‘Was I in the right place?’ Like, this was a hotel. Like it had a concierge, man. People don’t… if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there’d be riots in the streets, OK? They would burn this motherfucker down!”

Chris Rock [video]

Bringing this back, because some people don’t seem to understand that there is a discrepancy in the quality of care among poor, middle-class, and wealthy people, NO MATTER HOW DEBILITATING THEIR RESPECTIVE DISEASES MAY BE.

I love this song.

All gummed up inside— the demo! I was really trying to get at that feeling… that everybody’s felt at some point, right?

Chords-

G, G7, Cm, G#7,

Em, B7, Em, B7,

Em, B7, Em, B7

G, Cm, G, Cm,

G, Cm… G#7… G.

I’ll put up “Warmed up” next, but the chords are exactly the same!

This is the last thing I've recorded over a Ryan Hood beat, wasn't anything serious just practice work (scribbles). I've made this habit of recording videos of me rapping as practice, for drafts, ideas, thoughts, etc... RIP Ryan Hood aka hoodiNi. Also check out "Disappearing Act" by Ryan Hood feat.

Convinced @MarkPheonix to get an Xbox One and he just used the HDMI overlay feature to play PS4 games while listening to music on YouTube. #XboxOne #PS4 #VideoGames #Microsoft #Sony #Xbox #PlayStation

I rarely post any pictures, so I've decided to share that I'm getting a root canal at some point (or I'm losing a tooth). *Shrugs* #ThisHurtsBeyondWords (at New York, New York)
