LET IT BE KNOWN

ACT 1

Low key I haven't been doing much writing lately. Well truthfully I haven't been working on any poetry, I got my screenplay focus back. I mean don't get me wrong the art of poetry is my 1st love but there isn't any money in that shit. I'm joking, I love the art. & money definitely does not hold me, yet I do miss the art that is held within scripts & movies. Its something about creation in which has a certain special feeling to it.

So from hence forth allow B & R to grow gradually & appreciate the poetry already posted. Because as of now I'm putting 110 % effort back into this screenplay shit. I gotta do it, I love it. Hopefully you all will understand & I definitely appreciate the poetry & posts I will contribute. So basically I'm still posting, just not as frequent.

Rome was not built in a day, allow time for greatness.

-Darrin Elliot

ADMIT


You're the world is my eyes as of now, yea that's how its seems
I would give you 7 continents plus every single island in between
I mean, as of now this has been more than just a dream
& I would only aspire
to treat your royal like style
to that exact nature of a queen

Now can I hold you & just appreciate your essence
You make my heart skip a beat just by being in your presence

Yea its bad I guess I'm beginning to admit the fact that I'm in love
Or just realizing that someone sent you to me from above

Regardless the situation so far you came you saw & conquered
Took the infatuation away, my chest is no longer awkward

Its replaced by a new fresh feeling, one of love & care
The astonishment to really believe of you always being there
I guess what we have is just pretty rare

& we know this so we respect it as such
That's why we never only focus on the touch
See its more t love than to rush
Now isn't that a plus?
Leaning on each other like an irreplaceable crutch
Damn I'm probably feeling you just a little too much
But its cool
cuz my love is what you need, want & trust

Just make sure we make this love grow
One step @ a time legendary pace let's take it slow

DOMESTIC

See this is the shit that hurts
To observe & understand that you are her curse
For this right HERE was never in the works

The shouts the constant punches & screams
Are covering up truth yet it seems
To come out with every shout & bottle that's clean

I guess this is what it takes to see the reality of a world done
Just sucks to see the war is over & no one really one,
& even though it weighs a ton, never was that shit fun
I just have to do me while obtaining heat to that of the sun

The sight of seeing your screams & cries, yes it hurt my eyes
But did I ever think it would come to that? well I guess I'm not surprised

At the end of the day only one fact remains the one that we could never see,
you & I left for dead or alive, understand that we will never will be

MEET CASH FLOW


Yea. Here is six year old Floyd Diaz, a kid who is so vicious, that pound for pound champ Floyd Maywheather took him in as protege at the tender age of 5 & donned him the nick name "Cash Flow" & for obvious reason. This little guy is sick. Here he is at six with amazing hand speed & technique which will only improve with time. Imagine having hands like this in elementary school? Im sure you're not to be fucked with. Look at these sets as he goes through them with finesse & without looking. This shit right here is why I love the sport of boxing.

Hard work

Dedication

Little dude right here is definitely a ROCKSTAR

ROOKIE REIGN


I'm still a rookie in this game
yet I maintain
to still remain
completely involved in chasing fame
see by now you should've seen my aim
fuckin this bitch called life until she screams my name
by the time I'm Hollywood established then I'll know she came
so taste my flame
& feel my pain
until a veteran is what I became
cause I'm still a rookie in this game

Messing up all the time yet its only about what greatness overcame
so I'm going to never hold my head in shame
see damn near every one is damn near the exact same
yet as for Darrin Elliot God put the last bit of REAL in my veins
while I'm just trying to over come & obtain
most of you cats are simply trying to just maintain
all while if I throw a strike I'm demanding the next frame
& it takes time for a KING to enjoy & acquire his reign
so allow me some clocks for I'm still a rookie in this game

In my eyes its all about mental spiritual & monetary gain
See I'm trying go hard & all out like I'm an amp ed up lil wayne
yet as for myself I won't fux with that mary jane
I'll just continue to bust my ass until I'm one day in the hall of fame
have caviar evenings laugh with fake friends & enjoy champagne
while you bum ass bastards are still on weed & cocaine
& the answer is yes I am insane
but above all I'm still a rookie in this fuckin game

Not no where even close to right within my own brain
but its ok I'm not one to be tamed
look at me full steam ahead on that locomotive train
then I duck into the G4 private charter success plane
flying & thinking my thoughts hiding alone in my own domain
& by now I hoped that you decided to join my campaign
hell I'm more qualified than obama & even old ass john mcCain
to reach my dreams I'm all alone in my lane
& I'm pretty sure that DJ, will not be the 1 that's self proclaimed
& no its no more need for me to even explain
just remember this

I'm a rookie in this game

-Darrin Elliot

GRAND INSPIRATION

This next piece was inspired by my peeps at Wine & Bowties. If you haven't heard of them, then your definitely slipping on your blogging skills. START to fuck with them. Max T, posted a old school Kobe Bryant & Keyshawn Johnson ESPN commercial & through a slant on it.

What I got from it was this, as much as I grind & want to reach my dreams I do need to allow myself time & patience. I've got to refer to the old quote "Rome wasn't built in a day" & that holds true with each & every one of us. We have to grind but its the accumulation of our hard work in which pays off, not the quick get rich schemes.

Yes Lotto tickets are cool, but money earned is a lot better invested than money won. Let us all remember this & proceed though life with the patience & optimism of a rookie. Only makes sense if they say life is a game, right?

Hope you enjoy "Rookie Reign" Im more than likely going to dip into poetry lounge & preform this one within the next month.

MIXED EMOTIONS


Yea I'm a pro lover baby but I didn't mean to fall in love with two
Damn how did this happen & now what the hell do I do?

OK....

Let me asses the situation & use logic & wisdom
& I know baby girl isn't for me cause she has 2 great children
& now this new loving family shit is what I'm really feeling
But what if it doesn't work & my emotions become unhidden

Damn

& on the other hand this one is perfect cause her & I look great
She's cut from the same cloth hell we even share the same plate
& I'm sure its not too late
But I'm not
tryna end this situation in one with hate

So what should an all star hall of fame pro like me should do?
Do I just let time finesse
this stress & just play cool?
Or do I pick one side & become the
unemotional fool?

Cause see either way it goes some one will be hurt
& I'm not going to allow my name being dragged through the dirt
& for what its worth I still think my gift itself is a curse
See I love so hard & ruff to the point where this shit hurts

So blame my moms dad &
nana for making my heart this big
I didn't mean to fall in love with two but hell that's what I did
& I just wanna be with the 1 who makes me feel like a kid

You know the back in the day sand box kinda that was the best
Questions like
Do u like me ? Check box no or yes

The kind of love that put your self actions to shame
& I'm only trying to add one to my personal hall of fame

I See my heart itself is one of constant growth
But hell I might have to retire from the game cause I can't choose both

-Darrin Elliot

1ST GLANCE


Damn, Let's pause for this bad one right here
Flawless perfection of true beauty has never been so clear
Looks like heaven opened up just to kiss my eyes
So quick question are you an angel in disguise?
I mean I ask cause I do appreciate those devilish thighs
& your essence alone makes one experience natural highs

No makeup on & you still look bomb
So please don't think I'm weird but I'd like you to meet my mom
Ok that came off too fast
Not even a 1st date yet, ok let me introduce you to my dad
I'm joking meet the parents shouldn't go that fast
But honestly your super model build ensures my insurance to last

Yo, plus I gotta take note that your walk is mean
Your smile is mad clean
& truthfully I'm not even rushing getting in between
& no I'm not lying even though it seems
That I could be just like the rest
Come off to say the right words & make you impressed
But you'll find out yourself that your now rocking wit the best

So never the less
let undress

our multiple layer of mental clothes
I normally take time to see my brain naked but I'll give you my whole wardrobe

I'm 1 to never fold & yet your beauty has me stunned
This lust game were in will only be over till I won
& now it has begun

-Darrin Elliot

PHASE ONE

My writings my work
What value is this worth?
Are my attempts at unique art precious or worthless as dirt
Yea it can sometimes often hurt

Yet I never feel the need to stop
Even though 1 might encounter the worst kinda writers block
I just continue to shoot through like ima glock
Mr S on my chest when will I flop?

Never no never in a million fuckin years
No support from my closest peers
While my family feeds into my inflicted fears
My internal spirit burns & as it sears

It seems to only push me farther & farther each & every day
So I only look inside myself to find a special way

To overcome the shit I gotta go through
See reinventing myself is far from new
But its just what the fuck I gotta do

Let's achieve this goal this dream this fuckin aspiration
Cause I'm fueled with my heart my soul & determination

LETS GO

-Darrin Elliot

DEAR MRS. BUTLER,

THIS ONE IS MAD CREATIVE IN THE SENSE THAT I REALLY WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS ONE DAY
SO UNTIL THEN I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. BUT HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY. EITHER YOU'VE FELT THIS
KIND OF LOVE, HAD THIS KIND OF LOVE, OR ARE IN THIS KIND OF LOVE. EITHER WAY APPRECIATE IT.


Dear Baby,

Look at us 5 years in the making, & look what we've become
My love for you still holds the up most heat as intense as the sun
I mean you and I are exactly one
One of a kind in a full house, yes the queen of my heart
appreciate listen love & respect me always down to do your part

Throughout the small drama you've always stayed true to me
As I stayed true to you, so legendary is what we will forever be
Whenever we head out other couples sometimes sit in envy
As haters look to cause rifts in us yet we keep the tank on E
& that's why you are my baby

I fight away you're fears, wipe away you're tears
Forever close to my heart is where you'll always be near
So never even fear my dear for I will always be here

Never gonna leave or cheat see that itself is out the question
See I thank God for you every day & I won't mess up his lesson
For you are my one true blessing

This itself is something in which I take in without hesitation
We even stay immersed in total high school like flirtation
I'm you're #1 fan & for your love performance here's your standing ovation
So let me just sit in massive amounts of elation about you being my fixation
Since its our 5th year let's enjoy this celebration

I'm actually filled with more love than you could've ever given me
Yet your angelic voice still fills my heart like a sweet symphony
So again thanks for the love babe but let's take it up a degree
How about you becoming my one & only true wifey

So will you marry me & become the new misses Butler?
I promise for the rest of your life I could treat you like no other

So this is what I ask yo say to you
get back at me when you get a chance

Love always you're BOO

BEGINNING TO PRESENT


I see people passing me up damn near every single day
yet I stick with chasing my own dreams this is what I say

"Damn right I got to do it, I need to become the best
I mean look as of right now I just right now need to confess"

See Thomas was 1st he gave me a chance to climb a little higher
Scott took me, it was an extra spot on Lizzy McGuire
& right then and there is when my heart caught on fire

That was a little under ten years ago & the fire only grew hotter
My talent & passion as well as mindset became a lot smarter
But see now I'm without Thomas & Scott so the game is harder
So I pray to him my True & God Father

"Dear lord,
Please watch over & guide me through these Hollywood scripts
Nurture my heart & forever tend to this complicated gift
See father it is you who I share my heart with
& I know that my sins are often self conflicted slips
Yet I want & need you to understand this
I am forever your learning child whom without you is nothing legit
So for you're love & forgiveness I will never quit
Just help guide me lord again I will never quit
Amen"

See that's the cry I speak damn near every second of 24 hours
I lace up my cape & use words to take shape of my powers
& when it comes to my grind its never mistake mine for "ours"
Hell I remember sleeping in my car during 09 showers

Just so I wouldn't be viewed as a boy far too scared to go home
Couldn't rely on my dad plus my moms is literally sick in her dome
& I guess this is what it takes to turn a chair into a throne
God never said it would be easy just stated I wouldn't be alone
I mean fuck it took longer than a single day alone to build Rome

So by this fact alone I sit as ease for my own grind is on the rise
When I take his Hollywood shit over don't act like your surprised

LEGENDARY WORDS


"You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear".

GOODNIGHT

This is how it goes I see we're at the end of our run
I mean for what its worth we did have our share of fun
But see you & I are a dramatic war & guess what you've won

No more dramatic drunk filled nights
No more arguments & constant fights
I'm tired of idle threats I keep making this shit isn't right
Yet we just do whatever the fuck it is we like
So before I start to ignite & tirelessly write
I'm just going to tuck us in so here's my personal good night

Now once a upon a time ago in a place not so far away
Two people meet & instant infatuation found its way
To a new remote place for the young & dumb play
Shit I still remember our 1st convo in the 7-11 drive way
& to this very day
& the fee for constant attitudes & jealousy is one I can't pay

So since my funds are insufficient & low
& While I think my patience can grow
I'm not tryna allow my dark side to show
Cuz see that right there is a mutha fucka that you do no want to know

So do me a favor & put your feeling for me on pause
Signed the contract of dating but missed the drama clause

But I'm gonna leave it at that cause hell enough was said
But you fuckin played yourself & made you're on bed

Goodnight

-Darrin Elliot

DEATH WISH

You stupid dramatic ass trick
see you made me do this shit
I didn't mean to but hell you pushed me to this
now I'm dragging you with a shovel looking for a new body pit

Guess you thought I was lying when I said "you do this again & I can fuckin kill you"
shouldn't have went off on me after I said I was through
now look what the hell you made me do

Let me dig this ditch 12 feet under in the middle of the woods
strangled yo little ass on with double gloves so I know I'm good

That's why I shaved all my hair off shit I watch CSI
I'll be dammed if they lock me up for killin you when I'm 85
nope no not I
gave me more drama bitch not I
I guess you always wanted to die
cause you constantly pushed me till where I almost had to cry
but bitch nope not I
you wanted to meet the bad guy, well here u go say hi

& that's it this is where I slice & dice you up like I'm in Karate
but wait why the fuck am I speaking to a dead body?

RIP...sike

-Darrin Elliot

BANDIT


This next series of posts is going to focus on the darker side of the hustle. The Bandit. I mean I can't just focus on all glamour. This is the life of those who had to journey down a different road. The road most of us avoid, & the few journey. Hope you enjoy this & understand that the focus is one of art so hopefully I offend no one.


But Honestly I could give a fuck less.....

GENERATION DUMB

I blame the 80's. A decade of rock & roll, hip hop, blazing fashion, drug use & gang violence. Exactly the baby's of the 60's gave birth to my generation, yes the 80's babies. Sounds cool but fuck we are probably the worst generation yet. Well let me not say worst let me just vent for a second.

OK 1st & foremost for some odd reason we desperately want to bring the 80's back...& for what? I have no clue. The past is the past for a reason no lie & it sickens the hell out of me to see another person walk around in some bleached skinny jeans & a Miami vice shirt. We need to move forward not backwards people.

Secondly we have this generation of kids who are madly in love with tattoos.
OK I'm biased on this one since I have none of my own however quick question for the chick that's already 21 with 5 tats or more. How do you think you're gonna look 40yrs from now at the family reunion?? I mean if its meaningful to your life go get blasted however if its not, & 8 out of 10 times its not, then sit your ass down somewhere. Stop rushing to go get flowers, stars & prayer hands tatted on you ladies & gentlemen. That shit is not cool & even if you think it is your doing it for a fad not for yourself. Also your body is a temple please treat it as such.

OK what's next? Oh yea shout out to all the young parents. I mean as of lately I gained a new fund respect for y'all but I to me the jury is still out. Like seriously WRAP IT UP!!!!!! FUCK!!!! Its not that bad with a condom on trust it prevents virus plus snotty nose ass kids!! All the dead beat dads step your fucking bars up. Stop ignoring your responsibility & become a man already!! & to all the child support dependent mothers get your shit together as well. Your kid is a person, not a check your waiting on. So get it in & go hard for you're seed with or without the help of the dead beats.

Oh yea & this retro metro skinny jean phase/ baggy pants sagging down to your ass crack thing has to stop. I mean seriously when will we realize that there is a reason why man created the belt. This is the kind of image that uses media to stereotype us, they see it the see the negative side of the culture of rap rock. All bad

Oh & last topic to vent on is money. Yes never has a generation has been so "pay check to pay check" as ours. Seriously has the recession taught us nothing? Way too many times do I see one person going hard in the club on a
Friday, buying drinks, VIP, new clothes etc. Then when Monday rolls around they are trying to borrow bucks for food during their lunch break. Priorities people priorities, we have to learn how to gain financial literacy & stop depending on parents, the shit isn't cool.

Again I love being 22 in LA but it puts a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Mainly because we have ten times more grind than our previous generations yet we sit in a level of complacency that is unmatched. I know we can do better because straight up we have to do better.

-Darrin Elliot

TRAIN

Times like this is when I just let my soul go
Crazy how my best writings works take place on a pissy metro

& that's where I come in & say I'm the shit
Something falling short of a legend whose legit

Yes 2:45am when you are all at rest
When your sleep I'm up & I train to become the best
Yes cocky controlled chaotic spirit of the wild wild west

So until I'm at rest with my self & at least get nominated
I gotta crush my competition until you are all dominated
Fell off for a second but I'm promised to be reinstated
Cuz the thin about myself is that I'm now 100% dedicated
& I can't even justify the reason on why I'm often hated
But Ima just keep actin like I'm fuckin overrated

See this way of life is only handed to the select few
& this period that I'm in is called "paying dues"
So the fuck what if last night function I didn't come through?
I'm tryna make a name for myself so allow me to be brand new
& this right here is a level of skill only a few of us can accrue

Not to act like I'm ahead of my class
Just trying to stress the fact that I'm made to outlast

-Darrin Elliot
