LYRICS
I ain't talkin bout Beans I ain't talkin bout Jay
I'm talikn bout vaccines we being forced to take
I'm talkin bout bad seeds with no remorse who spray
I'm takin for the victims we call on the Lord and pray
I'm talkin bout health care we need reform today
I'm talkin for poor people who can't afford to pay
I'm talkin bout the War and I got more to say
I'm talkin about the Time and I don't mean Morris Day
While They talkin bout they old beefs and gold teeth
I'm talkin bout freeing minds and they putting souls to sleep

I ain't talkin bout Lil Wayne doing a year in prison
Ani't talking bout Charlemagne being fired from his position
I'm talkin how they wanna defame a whole religion
like violence ain't been committed by some insane Christians
I'm talkin bout the horrific murders of the innocent
women and enlisted men and it's senselessness
I'm talkin bout that Imam they killed in Michigan
I'm talkin how feds shot 18 times to finish him
Not talkin bout King James but we are all witnesses
but what they talkin bout got you so drowsy ya missin it

I ain't talkin bout the Yankees I'm talkin about how Bernanke
gave billions to Wall St and we still payin bank fees
now they talkin bout more taxes to meet quotas
so every week my check get lighter than Sammy Sosa
And what I'm talkin bout is not a diss to Hova
But secret societies are real and Satan is Taken over
They talkin Afghanistan sending thousands more soldiers
to prop up a puppet government judgment is getting closer
and they talkin bout makin it rain and range rovers
with chains around they necks but no brains on top they shoulders

I ain't talkin bout Chris Brown and how he put his fist down
I'm talkin bout tea parties that lie about big crowds
talk about racists with faces full of hatred
so I talk about truth to disconnect you from the matrix
I ain't talkin TI's wife or Keisha Cole's Mama
I'm talkin none of us voting one year after Obama
And we talked about Rhianna and her drama to death
talkin bout her young fans but singing Russian roulette
All these media distractions have a crushing effect
A burning house always takes out the ones who slept
Good night

According to MSNBC on November 5:

Military officials on Thursday called the mass shooting at a Texas Army base an "isolated and tragic case" and said they were unaware of increased security measures at other military bases.

"This is an isolated and tragic case and we're obviously in the process of obtaining more information as the events unfold," said Lt. Col. Eric Butterbaugh, spokesman from the Department of Defense.

Twelve people were killed and at least 31 others were injured when a soldier opened fire at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas, military officials said. One gunman wounded and taken into custody, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army’s III Corps, told reporters.

Precious:The Movie

The movie ‘Precious’, which has been based on the novel named ‘Push’ by Sapphire, is scheduled to hit the theaters today. The drama film has been much anticipated after winning a number of awards including the ‘Audience Award’ at the Sundance Film Festival. The film had its premiere at this festival where it also won the ‘Grand Jury Prize’ for the Best Drama and the ‘Special Jury Prize’ was received by the actress Mo’nique for the role of Supporting Actress. The movie’s title had been changed to ‘Precious’ in January, so that there would be no confusion with the earlier action movie which is also called ‘Push’.

The movie has been rated ‘R’ because it contains mature matter like sexual assault and child abuse along, with pervasive language. The film had also been nominated for the 2008 Golden Trailer Award and is also anticipated to be nominated for the Academy awards, for the best picture.

The main plot of the movie revolves around ‘Precious’, who is played by Gabourey Sidibe. Precious is an illiterate teenager who is also obese and lives with her dysfunctional family in Harlem. “Precious” has a very bad relation with her mother and has been impregnated by her father two times. Then comes the turning point in her life, when she is invited to join a school, which changes her life.
The movie also stars Mariah Carey (Social worker-Mrs Weiss), Paula Patton, (Precious’s teacher- Ms. Rain), Lenny Kravitz (John the nurse), Gabourey Sidibe (Clareece “Precious” Jones), Mo’nique (Mary Jones), Sherri Shepherd (Cornrows), Stephanie Andujar (Rita), Nealla Gordon (Mrs. Lichtenstein) and Amina Robinson ( Jermaine Hicks).
