You'll love it, im sure.
So, a couple of days ago, im sure many of you know that the ban on gun ownership was lifted in the Washington, DC area. Consequently, it had me thinking about all the things that could follow, and a bunch of muthafuckas i hold grudges against. When i say that, I don't mean, someone per say, more like a group that represents one. You'll get it soon enough. Well yeah i saw on someone's Facebook status something like, "DC gun ban lifted??? it's gon' be a crazy summa!!!"; which is really fuckin sad. Because, it's ultimately true. I forgot who said it, it was on the radio or something, but they said they had a hard enough time getting guns off the street WITH the ban; so as you can imagine, who knows what crime DC is susceptable to now. I mean, i know plently of KIDS that own guns (for whatever reason), so i know better than anyone that making weapons that much more available could harbor tragic results.
Then, while thinking of that, that shit had me thinking about the youth. PSA: kids are fucking up, and even n****s my age don't seem to want to help. Even stooping to that level! The fuck? I know. And if you don't find that disturbing, that a 17, 18-year-old doesn't have their shit together, it's something wrong with you. I mean, im still young right, and i don't know EVERYTHING there is to know, but thank GOD that n****s around me have tried to help. And these are people with real problems. They've been molested, abused, shot, poor, parents on drugs, raised in the projects, etc etc. And it's a relief that they want to do right by helping me out. That's what we need more of. And Maryland, i really don't mean to get on y'all, but wtf. No offense, but i remember going out to Landover and Largo all the time a few years ago, with nothing to be scared of. All of a sudden, a n****a grow some dreads, and get a new Lil Wayne mixtape and he goes hard? NO DISREPSECT, because believe me i know for a fact that not all y'all fake like that. I realize that there's poverty and crime everywhere, especially in Maryland. But fuck, i don't appreciate the n****s that live in the suburbs, have a nice home with both parents, even some of y'all have cleaning ladies. But you step in Thai Seafood, and all of a sudden you a "savage" or a such-and-such hunnie. Bitch please. YOU AIN'T SHIT! Pardon my ignorance, but it only makes a mockery of BLACK PEOPLE. Especially black people. The ones who really don't have a choice but to carry guns in their own homes, or fend for their siblings because their parents are strung the fuck out! You don't get that?! That's a real gangsta. Not twisting his fingers up in a go-go, or getting your dreads re-twisted because you on your "08" shit. N****A FUCK YOUR 08 SHIT! Be a man/woman about yours. Stop fooling yourself. Then i see gangs get into the picture. Like, people want to start Crip and Blood gangs in the metropolitan area. You muthafuckas are so ignorant! I'm not even gonna get into it, but ima say one thing. Why? More than 95% of you don't know the history or purpose of gangs. Hoods aren't enough? I can't act like I don't tell people I'm from Sherwood area etc etc. But gangs just divide our people even more. I mean, both my brothers old as shit, like in their 30's, with kids, careers, etc. But even on the weekends they back at Edgewood on the blocks, smoking Blacks. They realize that while they're true to where they come from, there is more to life. Not just DC, LIFE. As my man Yayo would say, "im thinking long-term. These niggas thinkin' "trees", and I'm thinkin' palm trees." It just doesn't make sense how a lot of you don't make the most of these opportunities you have. Granted, a lot of you are still in the 'hood, there are still more chances for you to do great things. I believe in my people. My DC, Maryland, and Virginia n****s. It's up to you to decide. I just needed to vent. This probably won't be the end of this argument, but yeah. Im an ordinary person. Not a hoodstar, or a nerd, whatever other people there are trying to be these days lol. I'm just me. And you shouldbe thankful, because most people can't even be them to begin with.
