You Can’t Do What You Can’t Do
If you’re still trying to figure it out, you haven’t figured it out, y’all — for realz!
That may seem obvious AF, but there’s still a lot of mo’ fo’s walking around scratching they head waiting to figure out how they not only make they own life perfect, but gonna fix everything for everybody. They prolly know that shit’s never gonna happen, but somebody wired them to believe it was they job to fix it all. I’m a fighter for social justice and I’m shoulder to shoulder with people who believe that every frigging day.
The first step’s about admitting your ass is powerless and that your life done got out of control. The second step’s about learning to live with that. See, people miss that. People think step one is admitting they got a problem. That ain’t it. Most people know they got a problem. They just think they got that shit under control. They think they can stop when they wanna stop. Other people sit around waiting for them to “decide” to stop when facts it ain’t up to them at all.
Step two accepts the fact in order to get clean, or whatever you trying to do, you gotta call on something more powerful than you. That’s get folks in trouble ain’t got imagination conjure up anything that powerful. They done made the addiction the most powerful force in they life—money, sex, drugs, fame, experiences, gambling. It ain’t a question of faith. Plenty of folks believe shit full the fuck on, but don’t believe the thing they believe in is powerful enough to get the job done.
Step two mean you gotta level up your God game, or goddess game, or whatever you believe in. You gotta get the Higher Power expansion pack and get ‘em doing kind of miracle shit you need them do for you. One way do that, talk to people believe what you believe and have them share what worked for them. Another thing you can do just get quiet and visualize your Higher Power getting the work done. You can just act like it’s working. You be surprised how “fake it til you make it” can really work.
That’s the step, y’all. Good luck.
