Times are hard, we could all use a lil’ gas money.
That day we became afraid... Afraid to imagine, afraid to dream & afraid to be who we wanted to become. That same day we accepted the terms of our very own realities. We were once young & were told that we could become anything we put our minds to. Our imaginations were once vivid on setting the paths to our dreams, then reality set in. The fears of being set in. We once thought that becoming a star fighter was possible, we imagined it, we dreamed it. Now we dream that we can keep a few bills paid on time. That day we couldn’t become an astronaut anymore, we could only blast off to our minimum wage jobs. We never saw that in our dreams. We didn’t dream reality. The day we became afraid... Afraid to no longer follow our dreams, instead, we decided to follow reality.
This is for the dreamers. This is for those of us that love nice things. This is for us that understand those things come at a cost.
Stunt Wars: Noun
High class flashing of your jewelry, money, riches, etc. A person who stunts usually shows off diamonds, gold, platinum, women, cars, spaceships, mechs and stacks of cash... Large Bills.
It aint just a car, it aint just a whip, it’s a time machine, it’s a spaceship. -Big K.R.I.T.
High Gas prices have turned us into zombies. $4 a gallon isn’t even questioned anymore, it’s our way of life.
Go to school, choose your career wisely. Envision the future. You may not understand now, But you must choose correctly...
There’s this love that I have for a crispy pair of sneakers. It’s become a part of our culture & I know it’s quite materialistic but my culture has always been about having fresh kicks.
Gas Money is important.
Beef is when the working folks can’t find jobs, So they tryin’ to find niggas to rob, Tryin’ to find bigger guns so they can finish the job - Mos Def
A princess mentality with a young G’s perspective.
Before we start daydreaming, there’s one thing we must absolutely realize.
Post bills everywhere.
My understanding is that Society is a business. So I have this great idea for a start-up juice company. The juice company would merely be a decoy business in order to sell my toy line. The toy line would be a decoy so that I could really get back to my childhood, when I didn’t have the understanding that society was a business.
I have this idea of digitizing strip clubs. What if strippers were robotic & didn’t care about our feelings. What if they only wanted our money?
In our desires & dreams to obtain materialistic treasures, we have to be aware of cost and sacrifices that others have had to make in order to ensure our “success”. We often don’t think of such things.
Our wants vs our needs. The have nots, the haves & want mores. Keep dreaming.
