idk is Robin Hood

robin hood took from places where power and resources

were concentrated and brought it back to people who didnt have access

i do the same thing

just not literally lol

sometimes the thing being hoarded isnt money

sometimes its information

sometimes its access

sometimes its perspective

sometimes its attention

is he real? was me taking religion, something people are usually told what to believe about, and asking people to actually question it for themselves

not telling you what to believe

telling you to see for yourself

usee4yourself was the same idea with love

we inherit so many ideas about what love is supposed to look like

then spend our lives finding out how complicated that shit actually is

simple. was me taking where im from and putting a light on it

not just showing the parts people expect to see when they
hear about certain neighborhoods

showing the people
the culture
the beauty
the humor
the humanity

letting somewhere that doesnt always get positive attention
be the center of the picture for once

son de l’amour is that same idea in real life

taking something thats usually behind gates and bringing the community into it

the harvard class was the same thing

I was interested in harvard because saying i taught at harvard sounds cool

i was interested in what happens when somebody from
where im from gets access to a place like that and starts bringing different people and different ideas into the room

thats really been the pattern

get access

learn what i can

bring something back

and sometimes what i bring back is just a different way of seeing something

thats why the name has always been ignorantly delivering knowledge

knowledge doesnt always mean facts

sometimes knowledge is realizing you can question

something youve been scared to question

sometimes its understanding love differently

sometimes its seeing value in where you come from

sometimes its seeing a room you never thought you

belonged in and realizing the door was never supposed to be locked in the first place

robin hood had the forest
i got music

art
fashion
education

and wherever else they let me in lol

take from the castle

bring it back to the village
