The Other Level of the Game

A lot of people really don’t realize how real I am. Some of them think I’m one of them fraud n’gaz that’s on the internet perpetrating.

“D. Washington ‘says’ he’s from $unny$ide, but that n’ga got a Stanford University education. So he ain’t no regular n’ga from the hood.”

Which is true, I’m NOT a ‘regular’ n’ga from the hood, I'm on another level of the game. I am one of those peculiar people. I’m a part of a chosen generation, and everybody from the hood ain’t chose. Some folks in the hood already know that they’re going to stay in the hood, in this life and the next. Don't get it twisted. The hood ain’t Paradise, it’s not a world that’s flowing with milk and honey. The hood is all about dealing with those wild animals. You’ve got to know how to move through a room full of sharks if you’re going to survive in the hood.


Let me back up. Because I know a lot of ya’ll flew into Houston just for the NBA All-Star Game 2006 and you ain’t neva been served by D. Washington before. So let me gone and break it down like this, cuz I have one business associate who advised me to remain ambiguous concerning my writing career and my marital status…

“Don’t let them know that you’re happily married D..keep them tricks guessing, mostly single women are the ones that’s gonna spend the money to buy your books and read them anyway. Give those women something to dream about!!”.

I had to balk at that one. I know this is all about business and the more customers you can attract the better, but I’m not the kind of n’ga that’s trying to front about my wife. I LOOVE my wife. She’s my baby doll. She’s riding with me. Wherever I go, she will follow..I’m not popping my collar, I’m just reciting what our wedding vows we made before the Lord said. Cuz if you’re UP on you Word, you already know that that’s the way God MEANT it to be. The problem is that we got so many fraud n’gaz on the scene, that most women don’t want to submit to a bullsh’t n’ga that’s not down for anything that’s real.

Throw yo set up..throw yo hood up!!

What set you rolling wit n’ga? Cuz if you ain’t rolling with Jesus, then you’re against Him. That’s just how it goes, don’t fool yourself into thinking you can be one of them lukewarm n’gaz and get through that gate, cuz lukewarm n’gaz don’t make it through the fire. Either you ride or you die…that’s Bible.


So when people see my wife, a lot of em start tripping. Some lesbians try to holler at her to see if she’s a bitter or abused wife that’s looking to move on. Bisexual women holler at her to see if they can come home with us. Shark n’gaz try to stare her down and see if they can pull her away from me. I’m not tripping, I’m just telling you how the game goes.

For instance, I hyped up the All-Star game, and how much my wife was down for Will Smith and ready to kick it with him. I can say that, because my wife and I have been down that road before. That road that has a posted one-way sign headed for destruction and divorce. But because of God, we were able to retreat off that one-way dead-end road, and make our way onto the track of the everlasting.

You see, my wife and I have professed our love to each other before and then regressed to the point where you go out of your way to do something to hurt that other person, because they hurt you.

You bleeped her?? Well I’m go bleep him!!

You bleeped him?? Well, I’m go bleep her!!


Mmhmm..ya’ll know what I’m talking about. Now it just so happened that all of this happened BEFORE we got married, so we were actually divorced (a few times) before we actually got married. And even after we proclaimed our wedding vows, we didn’t get ‘real’ about them until we both submitted our lives to Christ.

Because once Jesus stepped into our relationship, He gave both of us a foundation to stand upon. Despite all the past wrongs and pains, once you know that Jesus did what He did for ALL the bleeped up things you’ve done in life..then you have no choice but to bow down to Him while He ‘ forgives us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

That’s the sermon right there. The Lord’s Prayer. Luke 11:1-4

So then when you get to that part about ‘And lead us not, into temptation, but deliver us, from evil.”

Hmm..deliver us from evil.

Have you ever seen that move, Deliver us from Eva?


With LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union?

I liked that movie. Once I saw that part about the spicy beans she made, I knew I liked her and then when she was in her sexual frenzy, ‘Oh..you want to do it with our clothes on?? I like it freaky too!!”..Gabrielle was my girl. She got me right there Gabrielle looked real when she said that.

Now, before you start TRIPPING..’This n’ga is married and a Christian and talking about some other woman???”

Holeup. I ain’t got a problem with a trippin a lil bit and having fun. Cuz I know the Word, and I know it says the marriage bed is undefiled (Heb 13:4), we can get as freaky as we want to in there, it’s those whoremongers and adulterers who are out of line.

I’m not fantasizing about Gabrielle butt naked and going through those motions, I can just look at her and appreciate her for the beauty I see.

A lot of n’gaz can’t stop right there. They gotta get some internet doctored porn shots and get out the lube while they focus on their fantasy.

I’m past that. And a large reason why I am (besides the obvious reason that I put Christ first in my life), is because the Lord blessed me with a wife that can hit all of my fantasies. She knows what I like and how I like to do it..it ain’t no surprises. I’m a vanilla kinda n’ga. I USED to sing that song ‘Superfreak’ by Rick James, but once I got out to the ‘real’ party? Like they doing it out in the Bay Area in Cali? Aww nawww podna..I retract that statement, I ain’t no SUPERfreak, like some of them other n’gaz,..cuz they into some of that abomination type stuff, and that ain’t even me.

The problem a lot of men have, especially Christian men, when dealing with this thing called adultery, this thing called fornication, is that we have fooled ourselves into thinking that if the right opportunity and a fine enough woman crosses our path? Then we GOTTA knock her down, or else we’re missing our blessing.

If Gabrielle Union came up on you trying to holla about ,’What’s up?” Whatchu go do n’ga? Are you go forget about your vows and start tricking, or are you going to smile at her and say, ‘Pictures only baby..pictures only.”??

Cuz it’s a LOT of fine Beyonces and Gabrielle’s in the world, if you’re not ready to throw brakes up on them, then you need to stay yo az up on the porch, cuz you ain’t ready to run with the big dogs.

Cuz the big dogs already know about that 7th Chapter of Proverbs and it’s warning against the immoral woman.

Some folks ask, ‘Well, I’m not married, how can I be the immoral woman?”

It don’t matter, if you’re not married and he IS married, you’re still that immoral woman. Now the part that feminists will bring up, is that the text makes no mention of the immoral man that’s whoring with another man’s wife. But when you ingest the spirit of the law, you see that that gate swings both ways. Cuz any dude sleeping with another man’s wife is immoral and out of line also

“Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.” – Proverbs 7:25-27 KJV

Many strong men have fell on her bed, and been ushered into the gates of hell. Not punk men, or lukewarm men, STRONG men. That let’s you know right there that that immoral woman is a vicious soldier on Satan’s battlefield. She’s the woman in red that’s knocking soldiers down left and right..weakening their testimony, exposing their lives to sin.

Solomon wrote a lot of the Proverbs, and a lot of ‘strong’ men fall off because they get caught up on ‘strange’ women like Solomon did before he repented and turned back to the Lord. And even more so because of Solomon’s father, David, a man after God’s own heart. A lot of folks look at that verse (I Kings 1:1-4) when David got older and his body grew cold. They brought a young virgin into his bed and try and warm him up. David couldn’t do nothing at that point. So a lot of ‘strong’ Christian men look at David and Solomon with their many wives and concubines and they say, ‘That’s just how a real n’ga is going to be. He needs more than one woman to keep him ‘balanced.’

Scurrrrrrrrrr!!! That’s a lie. Satan is going to do his best to make you believe that..but that’s a lie. Because my wife and I have been through that buffet storm..and we both saw different things that we liked and we tasted it and felt that it was good. But when we both repented, and turned our lives to Christ and we focused on our wedding vows, we grew stronger. And once we focused on enjoying each other, wouldn’t you know, I realized that God had blessed me with a bad az chick!! I don’t need to go to strip clubs or watch pornography or take pills to get excited about my wife, all she has to do is get in bed with me and I’m turned on. And that’s even after our youngest turned 10 years old this year.

So when we headed out to the All-Star game, my wife laid out the rules..



“Alright n’ga..you need to listen. I don’t care about you looking at these girls boodies, but you don’t have to stare them down!!”

“Huh? Me? I do that??”

“C’mon now D..don’t front to kick it, you’re supposed to be a ‘real’ n’ga right? Don’t tell me you don’t remember when you were staring that girl down at that concert and then when you realized I was looking at you, you tried to play it off with some bullsh’t like, ‘Oooh baby, look! That girl ain’t go no pockets on her jeans!!’”

“(smiling..) heh-heh! But she didn’t have any pockets on her jeans!!”

“Ain’t nobody trying to hear that bullsh’t D..let’s be real now, no staring!!”

“Aiight.”

So we jumped into the spot, you know how they do it for All-Star game, the STARS be out. We saw Magic, Barkley, Fabulous,Deion, Evander, Cube, Sa’nai,..all these people were right next to us. And wouldn’t you know, that I was at the bar, minding my own business..and ran up on Gabrielle Union!! So being the kinda of n’ga that I am, you know I had to be up on my game…


“Excuse me..Gabrielle? Do you mind if my wife takes a picture of me and you?”

“Your wife? Are you SURE your wife doesn’t mind you taking a picture with me?”

“Oh naww, it’s all good. As a matter of fact, she was the one that told me to ask you.”

“Hmm..cuz I know if my man wanted me to take a picture of him with Halle Berry, I would be like ‘Hell nawww!!”

“Well..obviously you and your man don’t have the trust that me and my wife have. I’m not trying to take it to another level, I just want to take a picture with you if you don’t mind.”

(That’s when she started smiling at a n’ga)

“Alright.”

CLICK!


D. Washington and Gabrielle Union, NBA All-Star Game, Houston 2006



So at this point, I’m ready to leave the building. Shii..GABRIELLE?? N’ga ya’ll SEE how fine she is!!! A n’ga was ready to start declining autographs and high siding, but then my wife grabbed my arm, cuz one of her ‘boyfriends’ was walking by..

“Ooh baby, there go Snoop!!”

“You want to take a picture with him?”

“Yeah! YEAH! YEAH!”

So, I ain’t tripping on stuff like this, cuz I got chicks like Gabrielle trying to get up on my shoulder, so I stepped into Snoop’s path as he passed by me.

“Wazzup Snoop?”

“What’s the dizzy?”

“You mind taking a picture with my wife? She really likes you, we even made one of our kids off your Doggystyle album!!”

“Fo rizzle my nizzle.”


CLICK!


Tracy Washington and Snoop at the 2006 NBA All-Star Game



But what I’m trying to tell all of ya’ll single folks and lonely married folks out there that’s striving to hook up with yo ‘podna’..you gotta put Christ first in yo life if you REALLY want to have some fun. Because half of my podnas’ wives wouldn’t have taken that picture of them and Gabrielle. And the other half of my podnas wouldn’t have taken a picture with their wife cheek to cheek with Snoop Dogg.

So how do you make it happen without crossing that line? Cuz there ARE some swingers out there. Married folks that like to have ‘fun’ on that other level..switching, swapping and bringing new characters into the play and ya’ll know how it’s going down in 2006. My wife and I don’t have to get down like that to get our excitement on. We already know how to take each other to that other level of passion. Some folks start quizzing me about all the things that I’ve never tried, ‘How do you know you don’t like (blank) unless you tried it?

“N’ga, I ain’t neva had no sh’t sandwiches either..but I KNOW I don’t like em!!”

So check it out..if you’re looking to make an investment into some real estate/property in the greater Houston area, then you need to check out http://www.tracyopensdoors.com/ and if you’re just trying to get stronger in that Word, with a wild n’ga from $unny$ide then you need to read through www.servinemup.com



We’re on that other level of the game.
