Don't be a broke nikka, no broad wants to be with a broke nikka

Family is important. Put them first above all others.

Always ride for your brothers. If one of em end up killing a nikka, it's up to you find the bush to put em in

Good thread, meant to get to this one earlier.....

My Dad always stressed to us that mastery of the spoken and written word is what will get you over on these CACs. He used to encourage us to look stuff up for ourselves instead of giving us the answer, stressed self-sufficiency and family unity as being paramount.....but yeah, he always said that complete mastery of the English language would take us far....and it has.

It's a big part of why I chose the scholarly route and became a lawyer.
My Dad said a lot. A lot. He always had these motivational speeches and now that I think about it, I do too.

Never let yourself be someone's second option. Life is a competition so keep a champion's mentality. Don't trust these bytches for shyt. Take care of yourself first before anyone else other than your child.

I gotta remember more, my father used to have me in rap sessions when I was a kid. :heh:

What about hating on young nikkas on the come up?

lol, fukk them young nikkaz if they ain't the nikka I see in the mirror every morning. :mjpls:

Nah real shyt tho I think you just blow the shyt I say outta proportion sometimes. I know a few people that be on that new age fukk shyt but I don't judge they character for it or want them to fail in life, if you a good person you a good person even if you buy your jeans at Forever 21.

For the record tho, hate is the only word more overused than swag.

Forgot this one until a second ago, when somebody "needed" me:
