I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.

Yesterday I bought two new sweaters. Usually I don't really care much about fashion, but I'm very glad with the new sweaters :) And I'll show you why!

The first sweater I bought was the Tupac sweater. I don't know very much about Tupac, but of cours I know a few of his songs. 'Changes' is definitely my favourite song! The lyrics is magnicifent. It's quite simple, but that's the beauty of it. Everybody understands what he's singing about and is able to relate themselves to the story. Please, don't get me wrong by saying that the lyrics is quite simple. It is very difficult to create a song of good quality. You often want to use fancy and outstanding words to get everybody's attention and to lift the lyrics up to a higher level, but what happens is the opposite. People can't really relate to the story anymore and the rhythm gets disturbed. So, when I say simple, I actually say difficult.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.  

 

 

The second sweater I bought was the Muhammad Ali sweater. I fell in love right away :) He is such a great man and even a better boxer! His real name is Cassius Marcellus Clay and his nickname is Louisville Lip. Again, I don't know much about another great man. What I do know, is that Ali was really the greatest (another nickname) of all. He has played 61 matches. He won 56 times and lost only 5 times.

 

As I said, I don't know much about these two men, but I knew just enough to know that I bought two amazing sweaters. Both men have had a big influence (and still have) on the development of their worlds. One man changed the music-industry, the other changed the boxing-industry. These men have enought to be proud of, so I'm going to wear them with pride!
