Speak Positive Energy And Kinetics

Too Often people are so focused on themselves and their own progress that they forget society is not only about helpings oneself to success… but to help each other Progress. People commit negative actions because “everyone else does it” and they feel this justify theirs. Hypocriticism, Selfishness and other bad habits need to be something we strive to eliminate from our behavior and while we may never truly accomplish this goal… we must Try.

Our goal with Beasthood is to use our Words and Actions to help others know that there is a reason to be better, that someone does appreciate it and that someone WILL assist you on your journey. All Men, Women, Children, Races and Ages is who I aim to help become better while we progress on our Journey to do the same in our own Lives.

We don’t just talk the talk… We S.P.E.A.K.

Go to War - Johnny Magnum

 

This was more of a Lyrical Quest for Knowledge for me than a Spoken Word/Rap piece. Originally I started writing this with my frustration of the way things went in my life but then towards then end I was inspired to respond to my own questions/concerns in what I can only explain as a Subconscious Omni-Presence and it gave me a level of clarity I’ve never had before. Take a Listen and see if you understand, Feel Free to comment or ask any questions about my thought process if you don’t.

THE RANT

Let me introduce me, I'll tell you what the truth be
Internal civil war never more we called a truce see
You gotta understand I’m a man its my duty
To protect myself and my Fam from these groupies

So I begin to dissect dialect with intelligence
Born as a perfectionist, saw it as a sign, no penmanship
Gangsta & a Gentlemen, Hell bound but I'm heaven sent
Guided by the Lord but the Devil got my GPS

I try not to be egregious, but it only makes me madder
two sides, one is badder, cant have Johnny without the Magnum
Can't have Mag without the Problems, long division hard to solve him
Hatred cultivating, I don’t wanna be the gardener

THE PRAYER

It's a little shop of horrors in my soul no detours
Lusting food for thought, just feed me, I'll see more
I'm tryna to open my eyes, heart and mind
But Why do demons get stronger when I start to grind

Yes I have some questions I want answered before I die
If God can't rid the world of the Devil, How can I?
How can I be expected to accomplish such a task?
Then I drop to my knees, fold my hands and ask why?

THE RESPONSE

My son u have been chosen, I feel your losing hope and
I want to come to Aid but then your position would be worthless
You need to know your worth is immeasurable, I’m telling u
I blessed u with Free Will, so I can't tell u what u betta do

I've told u what to Never do, just follow the commandments
I gave u the gift of insight, Read the Bible understand it
See I've already Planned it, so Stand up against Satan
There's a Holy War waging, Life is just a Boot Camp
