Sounds Like: THE PURPOSE FOR EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING. Nothing ever comes out the Blue. There are at the least 100,000 entertainers in the game and probably the same number, if not more on the outside. Hustle separates the lame from the real. Its not how well you can spit, how well you can sing, or how well your image is put together (what the fuck is image just be yourself) it is sheer HUSTLE & GRIND (legitimate hustle and grind)
SEVEN GATES! I get people everyday using words that expresses their ability to conceive, yet they birth nonsense. Education is good for you. You need it to understand what your doing, but its not important for you to run your list of credentials in a conversation about cutting the grass. Listen for, watch for, and see your life so when you speak, it wont be in vain. In other words shut up and peep, the game will come in the form of whats consistent.
KEEP YOUR BUSINESS AS YOUR BUSINESS. Do not engage in conversations design to destroy. Spend the time you have on this earth wisely. We do not have the right to judge someone for mistakes theyve made concerning other people. If someone has done you wrong, take it to that person instead of coming here and putting them on Front Street. If someone makes the mistake of disrespecting your mind dont make it your business to dwell on it, KEEP IT MOVING. Whatever people got coming is coming due to Gods design. (THE REAL KEEP PUSHING AND THE FAKE CONGREGATE AND BLAME OTHERS FOR WHY THERES NO MOVEMENT)YOUR MIND CAN PLAY TRICKS ON YOU,SO ITS BETTER FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IF YOU CONCERN YOU WITH YOU AND NOT TRY TO SPECULATE ON HOW OR WHY SOMEONE ELSE DOES WHAT THEY DOES. I dont think like the next man. I dont feel like the next man. I am me, not you! When I sit back and say that someone did something for a particular reason, most of the time, its because thats how I would respond if I were in that position. The party that Im hating on may not be on the same thought process (JUST SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER).
THE BOTTOM LINE! STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE! DO WHAT IT IS FOR YOU TO DO AND DONT BE MOVED BY ALL THAT EXTRA!
STAY UP! (U.P. unmovable and positive)
