Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Philly has a lot of actice fathers.
A lot of brehs SAW their pops in the street and followed.
You do what puts food on the table fastest.
Imagine a 16 year old being responsible for paying most of the bills because MAMA is a dopefiend?
Believe me, I know all too well. I'm from 52nd and Baltimore born in the mid 80's. For every one dude that had their father in their life on a consistent basis, another didn't know their father, another had their father locked up, and another didn't see their pops regularly.
