How about cat's just stop reppin... I mean what is it that so special about your hood, that you need to let everyone know you are from there? I mean logically... In war soldiers wear camoflauge to blend in and not be a target, in the street it's the opposite... The enemy can see your colors from a mile away. It's like an invitation for trouble. I say that to say, what we wear influences our attitude...When was that last time you seen an example a stand up member of the community wearing some chucks, a baseball cap, with a white T and dickies, or some 501 jeans... You can't continue to dress and behave like a gangster without everything else that follows. if you are Hard you are hard point blank, you don't need to be in a gang, or say I'm from so and so hood, to be a stand up tough ass ni@@a... You can be a no nonsense nigga at work, or raising your kids without all the extra bullsh*t... if you want to be a rider and kill muthaf**as join the Marines, or keep you sh*t clean and become CIA, FBI ro some sh*t... If you really need to belong to a group, join a church or some damn religious sect...But hanging out in the Hood, waiting to do bad, or get done bad ain't it... Straight up... Change starts from the inside, meaning inside of you...You need to cleanse your soul of the bullsh*t that drew you to the negativity in the first place... Mufuckas need to understand the dead don't come back... Ask my lil cousin dead gone shot down, behind that gangsta sh*t 12.17.09... Replace the bullsh*t, with the real sh*t"...
