As I tap away on this iPad, I have to admit that I have failed all the fans that I had since I began to openly create and craft art at the age 13. I have, oftentimes, made a victim of myself because of the abject poverty that I have had to struggle with for a major part of my life. I have, oftentimes, made a conscious effort to create a superhero version of myself on a song that I write in order to gain mass appeal.
I hope to never use violence. I never, willingly, take someone's better half away from them.
I look back, sometimes, in disgust at the reputation that I have given to "Teezy's" name in the hope of gaining attention as opposed to shedding light on what I, as a real person, am going through. Ever since I made "The Crown Prince", which was my first self-produced musical venture, I have done a lot of injustice as a lyricist. "Freedom Is A Matter Of Time" showcased the best side of me from a sonic standpoint and with messages (Far Away, Dreams, Dedication). It, also, showcased a perpetual flaw that I would like to "stomp in the nuts" (iGrind)
In recognizing these discrepancies, "The Kennedy Center" will never be released. It was full of the skilled, yet soulless expressions that have plagued my lyrics ever since I made the "CrushCrushCrush" mixtape in 2009.
I want to concentrate on what I know and making it real. I want to be more that a rapper. I want to be an inspiration to all the young people in the world. I want to expose them to the better, or rather, finer points of what makes the Earth such a wonderful place.
I want to continue my mission of sharing the beauty and the positivity that the world has to offer as opposed to further profiting off of the negativity that has built the very foundation of the strife that is rampant in society.
I want to team up with all the other creators that are out to perform the same thing because I know that there are a lot more people like me in this world. I want to live and co-exist with them. I want to journey with them. I want to have adventures with you, as well, if you are one of them.
Sincerely,
Teezy Jojishi
Creative Director of Fantasy(ills)Land
