THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

What's good my beautiful people? I recently spent time in my home town of Detroit MI,. I have to say every time I go home it hurts to see a city once so proud and bold be so life less and and cold. I take pride in my home town no matter how it is and where it's going.and most do and should because you can never turn your back on your home and if you do,your what they call fake. Now with that being said,i think what hurts the most is that the young people seem to not have any goals anymore.All they want to do is just be here. I seen about 40 different sets of kids between the ages of 8-9 to 21-25 years of age.And all they were doing were either talking about the videos the seen or who got shot,and how they going to make money,but the problem was none of they had a mind to do so.Now I am not,let me say again I AM NOT saying this new crop of youngster and not smart,what I am saying is they have no ambitions,no work habits,and no heart to even get what they want so badly. All they want to do is talk and get over and some want to kill or be killed. That's a sad state of affairs if you ask me. Now by no means do I think all people in this age limit is the same,but its so many that the few who are not like that get over shadow. where did we all go wrong. I was once told  that "IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RISE A CHILD",and if that is true then we all have fail somewhere along this path. I want to do my part do you want to do yours? People I ask please teach your kids how to be an adult the right way. Let them fall,and sometimes let them bump their head,But  still be there when it matters. And if someone isn't doing such a good job help them out and  say something, just don't talk about it and do nothing. Till the next time....please let's become a family again like the KING wanted us to be.                         PEACE.

THANK YOU

Hey people its been a minute since the last Inner City,but we are back and we are good.This is a big Inner City thank you to all the people who have supported me and just been there for me in me trying times.The greatness of having friends and family who love you and support you is second to none.I hope that we all have a support system in place.It's something that we all take for granted from time to time,but the thing is not to abuses it to the point of no return.We all can take a minute to say thank you to the people who have been there for you.No matter if it's a long time friend or a new person in your life.If they helped you in any kind of way please say thank you and let them know that you appreciate any and everything they have done for you.So in closing THANK YOU to all who supported me and THANK YOU  for the love and friendship.

We here at Inner City know that we have come so far as a people and our movements and trying to live in this crazy world, but yet have much more to go.
