During the renaissance Nkenge 1x – No Choice

the adoption took place during the Harlem Renaissance. the metaphorical relationship is that my conglomerate created the art that my son adapted. we allowed him to adapt our art style – thus ‘adopting’ him.

And then I gotta call him and talk him down
About how his mother was a harlot , and he was adopted in babylon Nkenge 1x – No Choice

Rev 17:5 and 17:4
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

the ‘son’ i mentioned is actually referencing an entire conglomerate of people that were birthed by the whore of babylon and adopted metaphorically by my conglomerate.

Contractor Scams
“10. Contractor scams: Contractors (or people pretending to be contractors) are asking for money up front to do repair work, and then not showing up to do the work. Again, these scams are showing up more offline than online, but they, too, will become more prevalent online.”

over 60% of help offers to Katrina victims were fraudulent.

the contractors only care about making money off the Katrina tragedy.

A grandmother who ran a household was given petty material things in exchange for a destroyed house in which she shared memories with loved ones for almost an entire lifetime.

There’s also an underlying wordplay here:

  • “A voucher for some powdered milk” = for the spilled milk
  • “Kleenex for your tears” = for when they’ll cry over it

Having already torn down their residence, the contractors (later mentioned in the verse) basically tell this family (and others under similar circumstances) “No use crying over spilled milk (but here’s some milk and tissues since it looks like you will).”
