Peace, peace, this is the Abstract Knowledge, and I’m a young African looking for truth, I am currently apart of a family who could not be in deeper contrast with my particular set of actions, idiosyncrasies, political views, etc But it’s well made up for by my loving group of friends who, if not always accepting my particular choice of action, respect my decisions. Look, I’m just a young lyricist in trapped in The States (United) looking for my destination, I have come to grips with the fact that I am the blackest sheep of my family due to my political ideals. I represent all that is true, and stand for the dismantlement of all that is false. Unfortunately, the original indoctrination of those who exist within the parameters of this social construct are only that of the fallacy that they have been force fed for generations, therefore I am looked at as of course weird, in other words "Abstract," because I seek to change what most people have grown to love. It is hard to wrap your mind around change, but in instances such as these, it is extremely necessary. It is my belief that Allah has placed me on earth to combat the ubiquitous oppression of minority groups that is so hideously endemic in The United States, if by chance that makes me weird, strange, angry or hostile, then those are terms that I choose to wear as a badge of honor, rather than a title of shame and ridicule.Have you performed in front of an audience?Washington, DC
