Not Knowing

 When someone in the family dies, it’s painful. You talk about them a lot. Some funerals I haven’t been to. I should have went crazy when my mom passed. She thought I would, but I didn’t. We had a spiritual closeness, and she prepared me and my brother for her death before she left us. My mom served God. 

In the past, I have always heard people say it’s good to go see and look in the casket. After my mom’s death, I don’t want to see anymore dead family. I might not be as strong next time. I believe it’s better to remember them as they were. 

For years, I have heard of celebrities dying. They are people too. I’ve heard people say certain ones of them didn’t die when they were pronounced dead for years. There might have been some truth to some of the celebrity stories. I find out more and more that there are people that wanted to escape the music business. Some of them wanted to live normal lives and some still do. 

The problem is that you don’t know what’s true these days. There are some dead celebrity bodies I haven’t seen. Then sometimes that’s not enough because the world can lie and fake that too. The world can lie so bad that nobody hardly believes anything anymore. When somebody dies, they can tell us one thing when it might be another. I believe in looking at things more than one way. You have to sometimes. Some people will say: “Ain’t no way in the world that happened.” But before you say it didn’t happen, listen. Because we don’t really know anything. Remember that sometimes what is - isn’t and what isn’t is. We not knowing.

That’s why I keep saying we don’t know what happened to Aaliyah. We weren’t there when the plane crashed. We don’t know really what was on that plane. Our eyes didn’t see. She could have died some other way and somebody with power could have kept the information from the world. Just listen before you speak. Just listen before you judge. Because people, the world is crooked and we not knowing.
