THE DOWNFALL of #THEMECCA: VICIOUS CYCLE (PART III)

"Here's a thought for my revolutionary heart

Take a deeper look at history, it's there to pick apart 

See the people at the top, they get to do just what they want

'Til after while the people at the bottom finally get smart

Then they start to holla revolution, tired of living here, destitution

Fuck that looting, can you tell me what's the best solution?

I used to think it was to over throw oppressors

See, if we destroy the system that means we'll have less of greed

But see, it's not that simple

I got to thinking 'bout the history of human nature

While this instrumental, play

Then I realized something that made me wonder if revolution was really ever the way

Before you trip and throw a fit over these words I say

Think about this shit for second, you heard the way

The children in abusive households grow up knocking girlfriends out cold

That's called a cycle

Abused becomes the abuser and that how life go

So understand

Look at the power, but you know what power does to man

Corruption always leads us to the same shit again

So when you talk about revolution dawg, I hear just what you saying

What good is taking over, when we know what you gon' do 

The only real revolution happens right inside of you

I said

What good is taking over, when we know what you gon' do

The only real revolution happens right inside of you, brotha"

"HIGH FOR HOURS" - J.Cole (third verse)

HOT TAKE: 

Those NOT in "power" complain about their lack of "power" yet once in "power" many often choose NOT to do RIGHT by the masses, #theculture or even the community, instead, they essentially become who/what they wanted to replace. This creates a cycle that is NOT in the best interest of "the people" but instead largely driven by money, power or clout which favors those "in bed with the power structure”.

Although brief - this is a REAL REALITY exists within the basketball space as well as in the REAL world. 

SUGGESTION:

Granted being in "power" comes with a great of responsibility but one must NOT forget that alienating those not in "power" creates a hostile environment where NO one wins...
