Tha Frustrated Genius

This drop was inspired by tha piece by the Brotha Daniel Freeman over at Rise and Grind...
Im sure yall all have peeped the Kanye interview with Slay...

Now I wanted to touch on the aspect of The Frustrated Genius because that's something I identify with personally. And I 100% feel Kanye... This frustration and what im bout to touch on is what they consider The Gift and The Curse...

Now in Genesis it warns of eating off of the tree of life. And that you shall know all things good and bad. And be liken to God! Now this is Chess not Checkers. Once you have first hand knowledge of the Game you become a player. Once you have first hand knowledge of the Game you begin to be able TO SEE the necessary moves needed to make it across the Chess Board. Thats the Gift!

Now the Curse is that once you can SEE clearly across the boards, you can also see D'Evils position in your path. Its Chess!! I know if I move my Bishop to this square my opponent will just move his Rook to this position. And when your coming up. The opponent has more knowledge of the board and also more pieces at their disposal. Its not as simple as Chess be cause it may take you working 5 years during slave labor just to obtain the resources to move that Bishop. Only to have it blocked or taken. The Frustration come into the Solitude of doing the work. Not just the Solitude but the outside forces or Life ie: Wife, kids, bills, Tv, Media, swag, ect.. trying to infiltrate that solitude only to disrupt its progression. Its like you ever been working on something and your phone keep ringing? Or as a kid playing with your friend and your mom keep calling you for dumb shit... That shit is frustrating as hell.

Imagine if you were running to score a touch down and everyone in the stands had a mike that was linked to you helmet, that shit would drive you insane. Even if you were just keyed in to all the players on the field, that shit would be overwhelming.

The shit really breaks down to something the Brotha King_65 and I was chopping up. PRIORITIES....

Priorities organize the Game into a Manageable entity. When you have your game and priorities in Order, you enter into that Oneness. That oneness is like Neo in the Matrix. You start to look out of place to people stuck in the matrix/chaos. Which is the essence of the gift and the curse, because once your recognized as THE ONE, people and things start to gravitate to you. And with that gravitation they bring their chaos along with them.

In the words of  BossMack " Bitches pray for you down fall! "

Your on top of your shit, yet still know you have room to improve. And you working to improve. Yet you will have people with chaotic lives trying forcefully to advise you on what you need to do to improve. And your like "What? Get to this level of standing straight up first... Then tell me how to walk." Outside of people you'll have situation that are like Trojan Horses trying to infiltrate your order and throw you off path. And those same people will be there pushing the Trojan horse.

It chopping it up with King_65, he had a chick attempting to purchase his time for her benefit. Now that would sound good and also beneficial to someone who did not have their Time/Priorities in Order.  But to a person with their shit straight(Can see across the board) its really a deterrent. Dodging that deterrent can have people close to you that are not fully awake, look at you as a failure. Like if you did not take new position offered to you by your boss, because you knew it would be more trouble then its was worth. And having your spouse, friends, peers, look at you sideways like "Damn Iwould have taken that." or "Damn you been at that same job for years and haven't moved up."


So the moral of this Chaos is HAVE YOU PRIORITIES IN ORDER and KNOW WHY YOU MAKE A DECISION...

Now can any player offer sistuations or advice on Prioritizing ones game. And dodging wolves in sheep's clothing!
