Bro I always say this whenever I see people complain about what's going on in NY.
I be more offended when I see people in my age group and older say it. Because it's like you lived through that era with me. How could you possibly be complaining about NYC now when you lived through the 80s and 90s?
Not even trying to dramatic or extra but seeing a dead body laying in the streets in Flatbush wasn't even a big deal like that when I was growing up. That's how bad it was. We was desensitized as fukk to death and crime.
I think a lot of it just comes with awareness.
When you're young you don't give AF you going outside no matter what.
shyt was more live when I was stepping out; I'm older now and like aint no way in hell
I was out all day and home now....when the sun goes down I'm home
