A View From A Brick.

The Penthouse.

This Thought Has Been On Our Mind Seemingly As I Slept and Now I Wake.
Just Finished With An Egg White Breakfast Sandwich, So Now I'm Here For Tha Take.
So Much Going On From Us Thinking About How Cool Our Life is Getting To Finding A Gurl With Tha Best Tasting 'Birthday Cake'!
I Just Feel Good Right Now, Ultra Confident In Who We Have and Are Becoming, Knowing I'm Super Real...Nuthing Fake.


But Today is About That Climb, When You Have That Blueprint of Tha Ultimate Highrise.
On Construction Paper, You Draw Out Ur Dream Home, Where Luxury Mags Consider Ur Address Tha Ultimate Prize.
A Building With All Tha Amenities...From 5-Star Service, A Bangin' Nightclub To A Pool Where Tha Party Never Stops...Tha Coolest Gals and Guys.
Just U and Ur Sharpie See This Vision, Tha One That Will Change Tha Globe...From Miami To New York...Then From LA to Shanghai.

So You Begin Tha Process of Gathering Tha Bricks, Nothing But Tha Best For Tha Finest Building In Town.
Never Has a Building Had Purple as Its Building Blocks...But You Want Royalty and Luxury To Be Felt All Around.
On These Lego Bricks You Want Them To Be Super Special, With Logo on Them That Signify 'Luv and Fun', Tha True Opposite of Hate and Frowns.
So You Call Up Your Homeboys 2 See If They Want in On This Once in A Lifetime Opportunity...Sometimes It's Great 2 Be Friends With Cupid and Krusty The Clown.

They Agree. And Now Things Are Moving in Order...Chase And Citi Have Agreed 2 Give You Tha Mulah, As Long As They Have Access 2 Tha Dream Suite.
Tha One With A Basketball Hoop, A Live-In Fashion Stylist, and A Personal DJ, Just in Case U Want 2 Move 2 Tha Beat.
Nike Has Agreed To Put a Pop-Up Shop in Your New Ultra-Modern Complex, With Tha Hottest Gear For Your Body and Ur Feet.
There is Also an Open Space For a Super Luxurious Fitness Gym, Perhaps U Can Convince Ur Boys Marc and Chris From Anatomy @ 1220 to Come In...Another Location Where Fitness and Body Architect, Once Again Meet.

You Feel So Excited, That You Move Tha Start Date 2 Today...All Tha News Cameras Will Be There 2 See U Don Ur Hard Hat...Showing More Care About Tha Product...Less Care About Tha Dough.
Tha Media Kits Have Been Sent Out, And Everything Is Going 2 Plan...CNN and TMZ Fighting For A Front Row Picture and Video like Bieber just Brought Madonna on Stage...During In Impromptu Manhattan Late Night Show.
This is Truly a Worldwide Event, Like a Super Bowl of Sorts...With Video Being Fed To Japan...And To London And Definitely To That Ciudad de México.
You Luv Your Hispanic Mommies, And This Day Would Be Incomplete Without Two Seats Reserved Just For Bárbara and Pamela...Tha Classy Duo From Tha Caliente Show of Primer Impacto.

You Walk in To This Announcement of Sorts...Blue Prada Suit, Brown Lace-Ups...A Real Madrid, Spain Look That Says You Should Have Ronaldo, Bale and Ramos...Here By Ur Side.
Tha Pictures Begin To Flash, As You Take Off and Then Kiss Your "YSL" Glasses While Giving a Sly Wink...A Secret Show Of Luv, That Is Only Known By You and Ur Now Future Gurlfriend Sitting Nearby.
Everything Is Coming Together As You Have Dreamed, But Before You Can Even Begin, U Take a Look Around...All This Attention, All This Glamour, It's So Humbling That All You Can Do Is Sigh.
For The Emotions Of What You Had To Go Through is Too Much To Bear...You Were Voted 'Tha Sexiest Man Alive' in Every Poll Known To Man...But You Can't Help it...So Ur Speech Begins With A...

Cry.

You Think About Those Days and Nights When You Wanted 2 Make An Impact on Pop Culture Like Shakespeare...And When Everyone Looked At Ur Vision As Nothing More Than A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Those Nights You Starved Yourself before Going 2 Sleep, just To Save Up $7 for Tha Weekend...Getting Full on Oatmeal and Oranges...While Everyone Else is Walking Around Lincoln Road With Lollipops and Ice Cream.
Or How You Were 'Tha World's Best Kept Secret' For So Long...Seemingly Overlooked By Babes Not Knowing You Were A Humble Prince...Who One Day is Gonna Take LeBron's Seat As King.
Tha Kid With a 'One Day I'm Gonna Show You' Type of Swagger...Who Felt Age Is A Number Non-Existent...And How If You Were To Make a 'Best Ever' List, Through Every Decade and Era I Could Play on That Team.

Tha Sun is Starting To Glisten and A Few Drips of Sweat Cross Your Face...You have A Speech Prepared But This Is Starting 2 Go Off Script.
Seinfeld Told You of These Moments, So Did That Radio Guy From WZUP Martin Payne...Those Moments Where Lines Have Been Written But You Need Switch Tha Flip.
So You Begin By Thanking Everyone Who Has Attended This Special Day...You Speak It In English, and Spanish While Suprising All By Speaking in Mondrian...You Want All 2 Take a Sip.
For a Moment You Glance And See Your Homies From Back in Tha Day Wearing Their Yankees Caps and Jordan's So Fresh and Clean...Seems like Yesterday U Guys Were Throwing 'Wife Beater and Thong' Parties...Listening 2 Jim Jones and Killa Cam from Tha Set Dip.

Now Look At You Now...About 2 Build This Dream...Got Money In Tha Bank, Seems Like Tha Only Question You Have is, 'Am I gonna Pull Out Tha Gucci Fiat or Tha Drop Top Ferrari?!'
After This You Can Just See Tha Deals Rolling In...A Re-Boot of 'Million Dollar Listing Miami'...A "Top 5" Cover Shoot With Wade, Marino, Ricky Rosay and Khaled...With a Aptly Fitted Title of...'Tha Magic City is Now So Starry!'
How When Finished This Is Going 2 Be Tha Place To Be...Hip Hop Video Shoots, Tha Lead Shot on Visitors Bureau Videos...When U Google 'Miami' This Will be Tha First Link in Your Apple Safari.
A Place Where All Are Welcome, Where Every Residence Has Your Personal Touch...Every Key Has Your Style...All in All This a Place is an 100% Representation of Your Ga-La-Cee.

You Know Relay Tha Process and How Your Dream Became Your Reality...How This First Entered Your Mind While On Tha Toliet Performing A Number Two.
Bout Time Tha Final 'Flush' Swiveled Down Mr. Tidy Bowl, U Relayed It 2 Ur Childhood Partner Kieno, Who Simply Said..."You Gotta Dooooo Whatch Gotta Dooooo!"
It Wasn't Easy...Seemed Like Nobody Believed In You...Your Vespa Just Got Stolen So If U Can't Managed That, How Can You Be On Top of a Building With Floors Going All Tha Way Up To Tha Florida Skies So Blue.
I Thought A Firm Handshake and a Intense Look in The Eyes Were Enough, but After One Particular Denial Tha Guy Said, "I Never Trust Anybody Who When I Offer Gum, They Tell Me, 'I Don't Chew.'"

Then You Spill About How It Felt Like it Wasn't in Tha Cards and How Life just Stunk and How On Top of It All, Porky Pig Just Lost His Voice-Over Job Over At Tha Studio of Looney Tunes!
"That's All Folks!!" Just kept Ringing in Your Head, because All Hope Was but Gone, This Skyscraper of "Fun and Luv" seemed Just Like Disappearing Hot Air From My Mouth's Balloon.
But I Had To Do Something...Whether Start Taking Pills Like Jesse Spano, or Learn a Different Stroke Like Arnold and Willis, A Change Was Needed Like ASAP...Very Soon.
So I Began 2 Close My Eyes as if I was at A Palm Springs Getaway Retreat...I Could Feel Relaxation and Tha Smell of Cool Cucumbers...All of a Sudden I Could Picture My Championship Parade in Tha Middle of June.

I Then Changed How I Lived...Rearranging My South Beach Dorm Room, Making Sure That I Would Be Ready For Success.
Then Internally I Let Go Of All Those People Who Were Holding Me Back...Now Only Want My Team 2 Be Those in my Life Who Are Willing 2 Beat Opprotunity To Tha Knock...Folks Who Have an Arlington Cemetery Fire Burning in Their Chest.
People Who Enjoy Great Laughs and Dancing Tha Night Away...One Moment They Are Talking About Tha US Foreign Policy Stand on War...Tha Next They Arguing How Hugh Hefner Should Be a Cabinet Advisor on Sex!
Yeah...Now You Got Tha Platform To Speak on Homelessness, Arts Being Taken Out Tha Schools...Nobody Cared now These Issues Are Being Seen in This Generation of Next.

Other Things Were Spoken, but You Grabbed Your Bottle of Apple Cider Sparkler...And Bust Tha Bottle on Tha Ground...Leading To Cheers and Appetizers of Green Eggs and Ham...Just Like Tha New Cat In Tha Hat
You Put On Your Yellow Hard Hat...Cupid and Krusty Joined For Tha Ceremonial Picture With Shovels...And Simply That Was That.
Tha Flashes Flashed...Multiple Interviews Were Given about Tha Effect This Building Will Have on The Community, On Generations to Come...On Tha City...And On Those Wanting A Life Not So Flat.
They Asked Personal Questions like, Where Did U Get Tha Money For This? Are You Secret Investors Former Friends of Scarface? One Gurl Even Asked, "What Do U Like Better...A Fluffy Booty or A Bouncy Rack?!"

Tough Question! (Wink!)

But I Walked Away From Her and Looked For My Homegurl...We Exchanged Our Secret Handshake, Which Was Followed By a Long and Sultry Kiss and a Talk About Our Day.
Both of Us Were in Disbelief at Tha Orbits of Life and How Everything Can Change So Quickly, Once I was Envisioning It All, Now All My Dreams Have Come True In a Grand and Amazing Kind of Way.
If I Could Just Tell Somebody...Don't Ever Stop Believing and Never Give Up, No Matter What Comes To Test Ur Will and Ur Patience...Just Keep Fighting and On Your Morals and Values Simply Stand and Stay.
As U Can Tell, This is a Metaphor For Myself and My Life...The Bricks Have Been Completed, And This Penthouse of 'Luv and Fun' Is Ready, This I Can Truly Now Say.
If U Know Nuthing Else About Me Just Know, That This Wasn't Easy, Extremely Hard...But Now That Life is Good...Just Remember...

Smiley Faces and Hearts Were In My First Brick...

And After Tha Long Construction Process...It Brings Me No Greater Joy...

Than To Say...

Let's Play.

From Your Favorite Crazy Kid, 
Galaxia.
