(sigh)
things are a bit heavy now, but I’m grateful for “clarity”
Goodnight!!
FYI, if I die, some of you have no business praying for my family, friends, or anyone I love, you never pray anyways, you think I want your tainted prayer? My family will be fine, pray for yourselves NOW.
bless
People often ask me questions like why haven’t you made it big, why haven’t you done this, or that, my response is, really, I don’t want that, never have. I don’t live for money or love it, I don’t want fame, neither do i want to be worshiped. The more I live the more I see a need to stay close and clingy to the values in which I was raised. I fear and pray for those who are eager for all that “success” has to offer; especially, in the entertainment business. In any business deal or venture, there are benefits and negatives. I’m not blaming the industry for the decisions that people make, but there are certain things that come with “certain” lines of business. When you go to war, if you come back home safely, what’s the result? I’ll tell you the industry affects our “special” one’s worse than you could EVER imagine. I’d rather just get by and make my music for the ones who love it, live a quiet live, and hopefully at the end of the day impact a few people along the way with the same love that God show’s me. I’m sorry some of you so called “lovers” of God, have no backbone and only mention him at award shows, etc. The truth is, I live for him, and that’s it, I could care less of the opinion of some stupid executive for a label or Diddy-Daddy, Jay-X or whomever, are you serious? Popularity? Wake the “F” up to my fellow artist. Be who you are, and hopefully you have some consciousness to what this life is really about. I create music for LIFE, not Death.
Last thing, for all of you who are chasing fame, success, and money … the grave is waiting for you, it’s waiting, it has it’s arm’s wide open, and it’s waiting, so I hope you enjoy your fancy cars, $$$ etc, because if you’re in-love with it, if it’s your God, then I’m not sad for you, you made your choice, and I’ve made mine.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Sing it girl ..
I’m sick of all of you people who say you love God, but you won’t say who your “God” is … yeh, i’m going here. The God of Jay-Z is not my God, who is your God? I challenge anyone who has any type of faith in anything to be clear on what you belief. I love the new “positive” thinking, do what’s in your heart ideals that are passed off as being something spiritual.
Just because someone says “God is everything” doesn’t mean they represent the same “God” you say you love, or want to love.
Be clear, I’m only here for God, and that God is “Christ”, if it offends you, that’s fine, I’m just being transparent, I have the guts, to do so, I won’t hide it for fear of loosing your patronage.
Which is why I decide to post from my website, from now on, I’m disgusted with social sites at this point, the hell with popularity, I never wanted it, I never asked for it, I have a passion that I like to share, and that’s it. I’ll make sure music is available etc … but, other than that. I’m living my life
Gathering new tools and getting ready for Camp. I’m in an incredible time in my career where I’m doing what’s is known as “paying-the-price” this is what separates the “CAN”S from the “CAN NOT’S” .. it’s called “Sacrifice, Dedication & Focused-Hard Work” … Anything that you desire that is uncommon to the “most” will require a certain level of intensity to get that “uncommon” … thus I continue.
Anyways, let me stop the weird rambling … I’ll be away from all social sites for the most part of these next 8 months. I’m sure I’ll post something from time to time on some of the sites, not sure which to be honest; nevertheless, I hope you’ll continue to listen to and enjoy the tunes that I’ve released thus far. I will be doing scattered shows effective March I will be in Ohio, stay tune for updates via Twitter or here on samletric.com.

… so i feel like I’m a better person because of my album.
And hopefully when someone
listens to my album, they become a better person too, if just for 76 minutes.
This is how we're bringing in 2012!!
Hard at work on two albums- “Varsity” is waiting on the final approval for the cover – I hope to have it available before 2011. Correction, I will have it available before 2012 even if I have to get creative 
(I love pressure, it’s when I do my best work)
The Organic album is on the way, but not for a while. In the process of working I felt another inspiration in which I know I can spit out 20 songs in a month or so, … so… I’m compelled with every cell in my body to lock myself up in a room until it’s done.
I do have the name of the album already, but I don’t want to give it to you right now, but I can promise you, you will be able to relate to the entire album. Organic is about 80% complete, but I just feel another mood now creatively that just so happens to parallel with where I am now, so it works … & honestly, I really want to do a good acoustic album being that it will be my first “collections” of song that I release as an “acoustic” album. The songs off of Organic, may go in the Vault for a year or so, I dunno, but I don’t feel right to release it now, so I won’t! CEO DECISIONS!! …. so some of the songs you may have heard may not make the cut, I’ve been doing quite a bit of song writing. The Life of an artist is not all Glory, its ALL SACRIFICE and a love for all that comes with simply because, you love “YOUR” art.

Birthday Weekend events and rituals has begun, I usually don’t do this but … uh … Excuse me Mrs. Grandma double on the rocks, thank you kindly dear. Work hard P … yeh you can finish the sentence if you please. My birthday is not a day celebration, it didn’t happen in a day, it was a process, so I’ve never celebrated my birthday for a day, I’ve always celebrated for at least 30 days. The party simply starts on my birthday!!
I think I need some inspiration, time to reflect on what was, and what’s next … this could be the inspiration for the first track off of the upcoming album in which I begin production for next week. So much going on with me right now with the business, brand, everything … I never thought I’d make my love for music a palatable business, but I’m blessed to be given the road map. Let’s see …
(this song happens to be the soundtrack of my state of mind at the moment, sorry, but just for this moment) .. you B, this is like the third time we’ve posted this record, and I know … I know, but it’s good, your album is classic, they’ll still love it!!
#Sounding off for 2012 in advance
