TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!

OLDER PIC BUT I LOVE IT....I WAS SO FREE THAT NIGHT. HANGIN' OUT WIT THE GIRLS, I STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND DID WHAT CAME TO MIND FIRST.

YOU KNOW I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN IN TROUBLE FOR MY CHOICE OF WORDS OR MY ACTIONS. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WENT TO A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL AND I HAD TO STAND IN THE CORNER FOR THE DAY BECAUSE DURING PRAYER AT LUNCH I WAS SINGING "DOIN THE BUTT" LOL. THEN, WHEN MY MOTHER CAME UP TO GET ME THE TEACHER MADE ME SING IT TO MY MOM AND DO THE DANCE TOO!! I GUESS EMBARRASSMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP ME FROM DOING IT AGAIN....WRONG!!!

LOOK AT ME NOW!! I'M WRITING MY OWN SONGS AND SAYING WHAT I WANNA SAY!! ONE THING I WAS ALWAYS GREAT AT IS EXPRESSING MYSELF BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WASN'T VERY GOOD AT SPEAKING UP ABOUT IT. ONCE I GOT THE COURAGE IT WAS ON FROM THERE.

THIS MUSIC THING IS FUNNY. I THINK THE BEST PART OF WHAT I DO IS THE FACT THAT I WRITE THE WORDS I WANT TO SING/RAP. SOME ARTISTS DON'T HAVE THAT SKILL AND OTHER PEOPLE TELL THEM WHAT TO SAY SO AT THE END OF THE DAY FOR ME? THAT IS NOT BEING TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE. I FEEL THE KEY TO THIS WHOLE THING IS BEING YOURSELF!! HOW LONG CAN YOU PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE YOUR NOT? I CAN BE ME FOREVER.

THAT IS THE ROUTE I CHOSE AS COLEY B. IF I'M ON STAGE OR NOT I'M STILL COLEY B. I'M VERY BOLD, CONFIDENT AND STRAIGHT FORWARD! I SPEAK MY MIND WHEN I NEED TO BECAUSE IF I DON'T THEN I AM NOT HAPPY. I MUST REMAIN WITH A CLEAR HEAD AT ALL TIMES. MOST OF MY PERSONALITY I INCORPORATE INTO MY MUSIC. I MEAN WHY NOT?

I TELL IT LIKE IT IS. SEE I CAN BE RAUNCHY YEA!! BUT FOR THE MOST PART YOU RESPECT IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE DAMN SHE JUST CAME RIGHT OUT AND SAID IT. MY MUSIC CERTAINLY PAINTS A PICTURE FOR YOU. I SOMETIMES WORRY ABOUT HOW MY LADIES ARE GONNA REACT BUT I'M COOL ONCE I GET OFF STAGE OR GET AN EMAIL OR TWEET OR MESSAGE ON FB FROM MOSTLY LADIES, TELLIN ME HOW MUCH THEY ENJOYED HOW I PUT A SONG TOGETHER. I GUESS I OPEN UP A DOOR FOR THEM SOME PLACE. I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN AREN'T AS BOLD AND THEY LIKE TO WAIT FOR A MAN TO TAKE THE LEAD BUT.....FUCK THAT!! JUST SAY IT AND IF U CAN'T SAY IT? PUT MY DAMN SONG ON AND LET ME SAY IT FOR YOU.

.....PLEASE DON'T GET IT TWISTED. SURE I HAVE SONGS LIKE "BEAT IT UP" AND "STREET LIGHT" WHERE I TELL YOU STRAIGHT UP WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO AND HOW I WANT YOU TO DO IT, BUT I ALSO HAVE SONGS LIKE "TIME FOR LOVE" AND "BACK UP" WHERE IM A LITTLE SOFTER, VULNERABLE, AND ROMANTIC. IN "TIME FOR LOVE" I SIMPLY TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I MISS MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER AND I WANT HIM TO COME HOME. OF COURSE WHEN I SING IT, IT SOUNDS A HELL OF A LOT MORE INTERESTING. IN "BACK UP" I TALK ABOUT THE MANY THINGS THAT WOMEN GO THROUGH WITH MEN WHEN DATING. WE MEET ALL KINDS OF GUYS AND I SAY IN THE SONG THAT I JUST NEED SOMEONE FOR ME...SOMEONE WHO IS GONNA BE AROUND FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT, YA DIG??

THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT NOT ALL OF MY MUSIC IS RAUNCHY BUT ALL OF IT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD. I DON'T CARE ABOUT PUNCH LINES AND METAPHORS THAT TAKE PEOPLE A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIME TO FIGURE OUT....I'M GONNA SAY THAT SHIT STRAIGHT UP SO THAT EVERY WORD IS UNDERSTOOD WHEN IT COMES OUT THE FIRST TIME. I NEED EVERY WORD TO REACH YOU AS SOON AS U HEAR IT YET I STILL REMAIN TASTEFUL.

THE BEST THING ABOUT ALL MY MUSIC IS THAT MEN AND WOMEN FEEL IT AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN I PERFORM I DON'T SAY "THIS ONE IS FOR MY LADIES" OR "FELLAS THIS IS FOR YOU"....WHEN THAT DAMN BEAT DROPS AND I START SINGING OR RAPPING THE FIRST FEW WORDS?? IT'S A WRAP. LADIES ARE SCREAMIN AND DUDES ARE TOO. I HAD ONE GIRL SCREAM OUT TO ME "I'M HORNY NOW THANK YOU!!" WELL I'M HAPPY I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU!! I LOVE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW....I THINK FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SAYING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS VERY IMPORTANT. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE HEADACHE YOU HAVE AFTER YOU'VE LIED TO SOMEONE OR YOU DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING OFF YOUR CHEST??? HOLY SHIT IT'S THE WORST BRO!! I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE EVERYDAY TO SPEAK UP AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES. DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW THE NEXT PERSON IS GONNA REACT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL THAT. RAP!! SING!! SPEAK!! DANCE!! PAINT!! DRAW!! DESIGN!! BEAT YOUR DRUM!! PLEASE DON'T BE AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING NATURAL. BE CONFIDENT AND HAVE GOOD REASON AND YOU'LL BE FIIIIIIIIINE!!

OK HUNNIE BUNS SO THATS IT FOR ME TODAY....MY LIL CAMERA VENTURE DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED TODAY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER BUT AT LEAST IT GAVE ME MORE TIME TO OPEN UP TO YOU :) HEY YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN ALWAYS HIT ME UP WITH QUESTIONS TOO. I DON'T MINE ANSWERING. I'LL ANSWER THEM AS SOON AS I OPEN UP WITH THE BLOG AND THEN I'LL CONTINUE.

TOMORROW NIGHT I'M IN THE STUDIO WITH @1BKMORENO AND WE ARE GONNA FINISH THIS SONG THAT I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE WITH YOU, IT IS YUMMY!!
