Standing for something in this life is what everyone searches for, there isn't ignorance in doing so, unless that's all you ever want. In order to overcome poverty and make a better life for your family or future family you have to get yourself out of the situation that can and will potentially kill you. Don't try to twist it like I don't know how shit is in the hood, every city has a ghetto however big or small, country or city, white or black, mexican or whatever. Don't play the race card either. What color you are has nothing to do with how poor your parents were/are or why you were born where you were. All i'm saying is the problem with the youth of today is if your not trying to strive to represent more in this life then that then you might as well die tonight. At the end of the day everybody is trying to feed there family, plain and simple. Nobody should ever forget where they grew up and take the lessons they've learned and apply them to everyday life. When you stop trying to measure your dick and manhood everytime somebody does or says something you don't agree with you'll enjoy your life alot more. I've lost loved one's over dumb shit same as anyone else, I'm a grown ass man that has nothing to prove to you and that upsets you. Life is a game that is unforgiving so if i'm in a position where I actually have a plan b i'd say i'm smarter for it. Those who know me know what i've accomplished in this life, nuthin to somethin and then some. Militia Minded, people didn't just die for there blocks they died trying to come up hustling the only way they knew how trying to get by. It ain't even worth trying to kick knowledge to y'all.
