There are three classes in human society: dead broke, payin’ bills and nothin’ more, rich and “above all” as people refer to it. Dead broke are most of the time lookin’ for fast money and end up in prison or dead. Middle class get by but don’t get nothin’ less, nothin’ more. “Above all” is not worried at all, and I mean ever damn thing.
You can come from poverty and have two directions. Either stay broke and have your next generation stay broke or come up an illegal way or some have a job. They starve every night most of the time and go to the place that gives free food to the less fortunate, and go through living hell, so sometimes it leads to a deep dark path and go through life by sellin’ drugs and pimpin’ females or throwin’ some hell of a party you know. But sometimes there’s people from poverty I know that try to become something better in life and end up in McDonalds, you know?
Middle class has a good apartment but still wants more. I am now middle class and I used to always want that True Religion, Gucci, expensive shoes, but I didn’t really get it and back then I never realized why, but now I do. I am not trippin’ on what I wear really anymore, am just thankful for what I have today. I’m thankful for my family, my roof over my head, the food in my stomach, the clothes on my back.
But I took advantage of all that and now am sitting in the hall waiting on my next court date. I caused pain and fear to my family, and anyone reading this probably feels me. I used to live in poverty, but that opened my eyes up and showed me many ways to stay out of that situation.
Ever since those dark days, I’ve kept my head up, tryin’ to show my siblings right from wrong. We are finally goin’ to have an apartment and I am grateful and happy for that. I am tryin’ to stay on a good path and prove everyone who thought I wasn’t shhh wrong. Throughout this whole journey I’ve lost many soldiers and a couple family members and gone through a lotta shhh, but improvement is my goal until I separate from my family.
Rich and above has some problems too and honestly, if I had the choice to switch bodies with the rich I wouldn’t because honestly there is more enjoyment in a regular life because you get to cherish every little thing. Remember to cherish every little thing in life in every way because you only get to live once and you gotta take advantage of it. Bye, bye.
