Music

“Until the lion writes his own story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”

The Soy Autor writing process was developed in collaboration with young people at-risk of, victims of or perpetrators of violence in El Salvador. In 2017, this innovative program expanded into Chicago to create tangible high quality opportunities that nourish the minds, expand the voices and share the personal truths of young people who have long been underserved and underestimated.

Through the process of drafting, revising, illustrating and publishing memoirs, the Authors’ Circle members develop reflection, critical thinking, camaraderie, conflict resolution and positive self-projection.This Roseland Authors’ Circle has been based at the Youth Peace Center in Roseland, as part of Chicago CRED program.

Music Hayden Johnson

The foothold to humanity but it’s not even known.

Cause you walk into its world and get grabbed into a zone.

With just you and music in a biodome in your mind where you’re alone.

A place where you feel safe like home.

But home is where the heart is, and my heart is in the music.

I was born to be an artist, but in my time I grew in.

They don’t know how to be original.

Not speaking literal.

But music releases a chemical.

That in general.

Has been seen as medicinal.

But the music these days is killing you, But it kills me more to watch it.

But when I reach that interview my inner view is prone to stop it.

Music is my expression to leave an impression on your mind, So don’t mind me when I push you sometimes.

Thinking outside the box, because I never had a frame of thought.

Cause being abstract is something life has taught and I’m abstract art.

So you’ll never see someone the same as me.

And a light years apart in skill from these rappers because I’m an MC. So with my Music Composition I’ll make sure you sit and listen.

As I generate a gem that makes your eyes glisten.

But you gotta pay for my music, maybe I forgot to mention.

You wanna know the fee, you have to pay attention.

As my music pays your ears a visit.

It’s seen as the golden ticket.

To places that may seem too exquisite.

But if you stick with it.

On this journey for a quick minute.

The true meaning of my words you soon will get it.

And this was made from a gifted mind.

That gave his presence to the paper and these lines for 15 minutes.

Sad that what I make in 15 minutes is way better than what takes you weeks to finish.

But everybody wanna play in his face.

Saying his life will never be happy.

But he keep on pushing and moving with the grace.

Because he know he’ll find his wife while their life looking crappy.

Over time he built a mind like vibranium.

And grew the mindset that no one is the same as him.

He has his mind set that no one ever taming him.

And they’ll meet damnation if they step up in his lane again.

Known to dance circles around squares with the quickest pen.

Known to make veterans not wanna spit again.

Known to do whatever he have to to improve to move any dude out of his positioning.

Got feet that wanna travel to a new port.

They said he aiming too high, and he’s too short.

He laughed because he’s not thinking like he’s 5’4”.

He’s 5’5”, but got the drive just to grow more.

He don’t think they’re ready for the downpour.

Because he’ll rain down on their parade like the Mayweather.

You think you’re ready, do you want more?

All that means is that he’s undefeated and he play the game better.

I am a person from the projects with projects toward better days.

I took in the hatred of the wild blocks of the south end.

Wondering why being moved around home to home as a federally watched child never bothered me.

I’m from a path where fighting for life was my birth.

Drugs take course in my life at a young age. My mother was the type not to care what was going in her.

I’m from a path where I had to teach myself 90% of what I know because who wants to teach the deemed destined to be damned.

I’m from the places where having dreams are frowned upon because you are not meant to be more than a block nigga.

A sit your ass on life’s clock nigga.

A never graduating high school, but walking around like life’s cool nigga.

Thinking I’m the topic when I’m with my crew nigga, but I’m not any of these….

You see a piece of my life now.

Music is my lifestyle.

The reason I found purpose in life at with with a mindset so trife, but I can be me.

Just a piece of me can be your lifestyle.

Just download what I said right now and playback.
