Pops told me a lot of things, but these are the ones that really stand out

"Be the best at whatever you do, whether it be a garbage man, lawyer, whatever, be the best."
"A man is only as good as his word. If you tell someone your going to do something, do it. If you can't, then tell them that you can't."
"Always look after your brothers" (I'm the oldest)

My dad did the best that he could with whatever knowledge and resources he had...But he turned me into a robot...I am emotionally incompetent...

I can relate somewhat...I feel like it's because my dad is emotionally incompetent though

Quote: "Anything worth doing is worth doing well"

But really I learned more from my dad by watching him than actually listening to him. He never was really the type to sit down and talk with me

Never knew my pops like that..but he told me the #1 rule in the street was always keep ya word..ya word is ya bond..if you ask to borrow money from someone..and say you'll pay em back..then pay em back..because you're bonded to ya word..

And I always keep my word

He also told me to play the middle man..so you don't touch nothing in transactions and keep from getting ya hands dirty

"Be seen and not heard"

"Earn your keep"

My grandpa told me, "your word is all you have, if you don't have your word you have nothing."

My dad an African, he told me to hold on to my culture and don't let America convince that it's inferior. Right or wrong your culture is your culture. I remember thinking "Get the fukk outta here with that stupid African shyt", but it stuck with me regardless.
Damn breh. THIS was your reaction? :wtf:

"Don't have kids before you get married."

I see the struggles he went through with my mom for me. He did that so I won't have to go through that. I love you, pops. :banderas:

Keep my hands out of my pockets when walking around a group of nikkaz.
I have to work harder than everyone else.
