So I finally talked to my pops who is incarcerated at this moment and he gets out on June 2nd...actually good hearing from him. For the little time he had, he said so much to me. After I soaked those thoughts in it made me work even harder. I can't make the same mistakes that he and my uncle made. I can't struggle and live paycheck to paycheck. I can't sell drugs and have to look over my shoulder worrying about who's trying to kill me. I gotta be more than just BLACK. You name it I've seen my family have to deal with it or do it. Drugs, Murder, Counterfeit, Rape, and a million other things. How one of my best homies put it "Just a family of crooks" lmao...Luckily most of it has just been on my father's side which my moms has always tried to keep my sisters and I away from it. People don't know what it's like to struggle and seeing your family having to do what they have to do to survive..thats why i understand but i dont condone it. It's always a way out ALWAYS. Those who grew up with everything they want never really appreciate it. It's a blessing but yet a curse. If you get everything you want, you get lazy or you're very unappreciative. Luckily I always had my mama who struggled and had 2 or 3 jobs to raise 4 kids and she went back to get her degree and is working on her masters as we speak. gotta love her! I could've easily fell into the bullshit but after a few ass whoopings your mind tends to change lol. i will never forget what I've seen and been thru. Its part of me...It made me who I am. Failing is not an option right now. So whatever it is you really wanna do with your life fiend for it, think of it, speak on it, wish for it, dream of it just dont let it take you to your grave(jail).
