Song About Pressure

"Rock Bottom"

A-yo!
This song is dedicated to all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck

[Verse One:]
I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm popping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
That's got my ass hyper
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
While player haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless
Snakes slither in the grass spineless

[Chorus (x2):]
That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel you have had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear

[Verse Two:]
My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
Cause when we die we know were all going the same way
It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
They threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away

[Chorus]

There's people that love me and people that hate me
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
Right now I feel like just hit the rock bottom
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or sock's on 'em
And them rings you wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
And while you flaunting them I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?
Cause I never went gold of one song
I'm running up on someone's lawns with guns drawn

[Chorus]

R&J Essay

  Romeo and Juliet is often thought of as the greatest love story of all time, but is this an example of

"true love" or is this merely a toxic infatuation with each other. Can a love for someone be so strong that they cant live without them or is this bordering the line of insanity?

 Romeo and Juliet is a case of the forbidden fruit, you want what you cant have which makes they're "love" more of a lust for each other instead of genuine true love. They never even spent more then a day with each other so how could they have genuine love without lust. The fact that Romeo loved Rosaline at the start of the play and then said he loved Juliet makes him sound rather scattered in what he thinks he wants; it sounds like he uses the word love very lightly and mistakes it for strong infatuation and lust. He says that if he ever sees a girl more beautiful then Rosaline that his eyes are lying and to let his "tears become fires and eyes burned."(act 1 scene 2 88-91)then he forgets about his love for Rosaline the second he saw Juliet so who's to say that he wouldn't forget about Juliet once he saw a girl more beautiful?

 The name of this play should be "Romeo and Juliet a tale of impulse" because everything they do is at the drop of a dime; falling in love, murder, getting married and taking their own lives are all done with little to no thought. When Romeo kills Tybalt he has no thought of what he is doing or what the repercussions of his actions will be and how it'll effect his relationship with Juliet until after he kills him, then once again completely on impulse threatens to take his life which Friar Lawrence talks him out of doing "art thou a man hast thou slain Tybalt? wilt thou slay thyself? and slay thy lady too?"(act 3 scene 3 124-134). Romeo and Juliet are actually very selfish throughout the play. They never really think about what would happen or how their actions would affect the people around them and when they take their lives they never mention anything about hoping to see each other in an after life they only mention about ending their sorrow or their pain and perhaps if Romeo wasnt so hasty to act on impulse he would have been able to live the rest of his life with Juliet.

We're all aware of the things that go through someone's mind at their age...Its mostly sex. When your a teenager your hormones are crazy high and for a awhile all you really want is sex. This just makes their relationship even more lustful "Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. Lovers can see to do their amorous rites By their own beauties; or, if love be blind, It best agrees with night. Come, civil night, Thou sober-suited matron, all in black, And learn me how to lose a winning match, Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods: Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks, With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold, Think true love acted simple modesty." (act 3 scene 2). When your so filled with hormones and different emotions it takes time to build a relationship and you certainly cant do that in the four days Romeo and Juliet had.

Romeo and Juliet a tale of true love? I think not, this play may have been written with the intent of creating a story about true love but instead resembles more lust then anything. Both were very selfish and impulsive resulting in many mistakes and their own demise. You simply cant have true love for each other in such a short span of time.







 

Mid Terms

My MidTerm

My attendance...lets be honest its pretty damn awful id give myself around 10% because I have missed a lot of classes, I have a legitimate reason for them but ive still missed a lot

For total assignment completion id give myself around 18% but this weekend is going to be one filled with homework completion. that I can guarantee

For quality of work id give myself 20% because I am guilty of rushing a few things but I think my writing ability is at least at par with the rest of the class

For class contribution id give myself anywhere from 15-20% because I really suck at commenting on peoples things but I feel that when im in class discussing something I usually put a few thoughts in and im always more then willing to help out with the tech side (if I can understand it myself)

Overall I think I deserve anywhere from 63-68%
