this film has re-inspired me..

one line of the film caught me so much:

” you don’t know nothing.  you don’t know what we gotta do.  you have us in here teaching us this grammer, and then we’ve got to go out there again… and what are you telling me about that eh?!  what are you doing in here that makes a damn difference to my life?? “

what am i doing that is making a damn bit of difference to people’s lifes?

“In search of brighter days, I ride through the maze of the madness,
Struggle is my address, where pain and crack lives,
Gunshots comin’ from sounds of Blackness,
Given this game with no time to practice,
Born on the Black list, told I’m below average,
A life with no cabbage,
That’s no money if you from where I’m from,
Funny, I just want some of your sun,
Dark clouds seem to follow me,
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me,
No apology, I walk with a boulder on my shoulder,
It’s a Cold War – I’m a colder soldier,
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King,
I ain’t usin’ it for the right thing,
In between Lean and the fiends, hustle and the schemes,
I put together pieces of a Dream
I still have one

I got a dream, we’re gonna work it out…

…My dream is to be free.”

- a dream, Common
