Aadi’s Drip
Verse 1:
I had drip since I was a youngin’,
Head held high, always up to somethin’.
Numbers and stars, they callin’ my name,
Science and math, yeah, I’m ahead of the game.
Kind heart, sharp mind, got the perfect blend,
Every step I take, I inspire my friends.
Rockin’ fresh fits, always lookin’ clean,
Skincare glowin’, I’m livin’ the dream.
Pre-Chorus:
Gaze at the sky, constellations align,
A universe of knowledge in this heart of mine.
With laughter and care, I’m changin’ the scene,
Empathy the crown, I’m the future’s king.
Chorus:
I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise,
Reaching for the stars in these endless skies.
Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands,
With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand.
From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright,
A star in the making, I’m the guiding light.
Verse 2:
Equations flow like music in my head,
Chasing my dreams, nothin’ left unsaid.
Astronomy’s callin’, galaxies afar,
One day I’ll reach that distant star.
Style on point, confidence to spare,
Looking good, feeling good, yeah, I’m self-aware.
Friends roll deep, they’ve got my back,
In this journey of life, we’re on the same track.
Pre-Chorus:
Gaze at the sky, constellations align,
A universe of knowledge in this heart of mine.
With laughter and care, I’m changin’ the scene,
Empathy the crown, I’m the future’s king.
Chorus:
I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise,
Reaching for the stars in these endless skies.
Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands,
With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand.
From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright,
A star in the making, I’m the guiding light.
Bridge:
Dreamin’ big, but my feet stay grounded,
Curiosity fuels the world I’ve founded.
Kindness in my heart, wisdom in my soul,
With every step forward, I’m reaching my goal.
Rockin’ the world with my wit and my charm,
Making people smile, keepin’ ‘em calm.
Chorus (Repeat):
I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise,
Reaching for the stars in these endless skies.
Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands,
With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand.
From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright,
A star in the making, I’m the guiding light.
Outro:
I had drip since I was a youngin’,
Bright future ahead, you know I’m stuntin’.

Full Expression
How we live, is how we die. – Pema Chodron
Today, we said goodbye to Mishti. Or rather she said goodbye to us. Last night she told me in no uncertain terms that enough was enough, and, it was time to let go. She spoke to me in an unmistakable tone – even trying to form the words with her non-dexterous mouth – ‘eh eh … go o o o’. This is how she lived every day, every moment - In Full Expression, on her own terms, always having the last word.
Queen of Snow, she, commanded the weather. 11 years ago, to
the date, we brought her home in the coldest winter in Minnesota – the 2013
Polar Vortex. Tonight, the blizzard came to Michigan to take her back. After a
long battle, she drifted asleep to Norah Jones singing “wake me up”. We hugged
and cried and sang along and swayed in the candlelight wake that Mishti had
arranged for herself – yes, the power went out and the snow was so bad we could
not drive to animal emergency center. She colluded with the universe to block
our way and any attempts to revive her one more time. It is time to let go.
Rest in Peace dear friend, teacher, Queen. You will always be with us.
We are your Gang!
