For those who don't know, I am an artist as well as a student. I've been writing my own Christian Hip Hop and Christian spoken word pieces since the age of 15. As a female emcee I've had to deal with people thinking I couldn't do anything lyrically. It's difficult out here for any emcee. For me, it's especially hard because I'm not typical. I don't flow like most emcees and there are times when I feel like I'm seeing ahead of my time. And I mean way ahead. I'm only 22 so I feel like I'm kinda a baby compared to everyone else. But there's one thing I keep hearing lately. "It's time for a revolution". It's strange. I've always felt like an outcast, but I guess that's because I've never been a secular rapper. Lately I've been praying, God, show me what to do. You give me the rhymes. You show 'em it's You, not me. I'm just a mouthpiece.
I'm a general. I know that. I've known that since I had visions of spiritual warfare when I started this. But I'm rambling. . . I think it's time that we change things. WE need a revolution. I'm not talking overthrowing the physical government. I'm seeing in the spirit realm. It's time for the army to raise up. My generation has so many sleeping warriors who don't even know who or what they are. There are two definitions of the world revolution that apply here.
If you look up the word "revolution" in Merriam Webster's dictionary, you will find that the second definition has many subsets. The core definition is: a sudden, radical, or complete change. Then come the subsets:
b.: a fundamental change in political organization; especially: the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed and : a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something : a change of paradigm. It's time for the spiritual paradigm to change, or as my good friend Dr. N. Cindy Trimm might say,"We need a paradigm shift." Now I'm left to think on how we go about it. (This is where my book comes in, I think!)
