“I stood 10 toes, I couldn’t fold or panic, these streets a turn a good kid into a cold lil savage.” -Polo G
This quote hit me hard for real because I got a good heart. I didn’t always envision myself as this person I have become. I ain’t gone cap, trauma hit me at a young age, so it changed my thought process early in life. But I believe the younger me before all the pain and trauma would be ashamed of the man I had become.
I remember being super young and telling my mom I can’t wait to get married and have kids. So, I would sit down and watch TV with them while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer.
I seen all the other grown-ups do that, so I thought that’s what men do. The streets are cold. Give her love and she gives you pain. These streets will steal yo money, yo heart, yo loved ones, and above all else yo’ hopes and dreams.
Any wise man can tell you, once you lose hope you lose in life.
