The Basement

Hotep,

In the average American household, the Basement is where you'd find holiday ornaments tucked away until its relevance is required for another holiday season.

The Basement is where the dirty clothes pile up until the laundry can be done.

Obsolete tools, old fishing gear and even unwanted gifts can be found in the Basement.

A dwelling of insignificance looms throughout the Basement, like racist comments on the Don Imus talk radio show. Ya heard?

The state of North Carolina has a Basement. It's called 'death row.'

The feeling of insignificance runs high in this Basement.

Tucked away in the state's darkest corner, most inhabitants are influenced by the negativity that surrounds them.

The manifestation of the negativity is hopelessness.

And hopelessness can be contagious. Feel me?

So, while the Celtics hoist their 17th Championship banner,

While freestyles by Shaq add another chapter to the Kobe/Shaq saga,

While Don Imus uses Adam 'PacMan' Jones as a scapegoat to attack the black race,

Your Mannofstat remains encamped in North Carolina's Basement, repelling negativity as a means to abort hopelessness.

Keeping my focus on the door at the top of the stairs,

Driven by the motivation of my significance to society,

Here I am, slowly ascending the stairs of the Basement



Bringing the antidote to an ill society.

Worthy Opportunity Reveal Diligence

Nuff said,
Mannofstat

  1. The Basement- Quote "Keeping your focus on the door at the top of the stairs" No matter what you do, don't give up hope and repelling negativity. WOW! Stimulating, Encouraging, Touching, Spiritual Moving. The Basement can apply to each one of us, We may complain about ache, not be able sometimes to keep up with bills and maybe not enough food, which makes us feel hopeless. He’s so right hopeless is so contagious! Keep focus on the door at the top of the stairs!!!!! At the top of the stairs are goals you set for yourself! Trust and believe you will reach it! I LOVE IT---LOVE IT and I feel him! AWESOME! This is the sweet!
    Love you with all my heart, with every single piece don’t every forget!!!!!!!!!

  2. The woman he killed felt pretty hopeless too probably. She wasn't given the opportunity to see any door at the top of any stairs.
