MAAAAN SO MUCH IN MY LIFE HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN... THOSE DAYS OF HUSTLING ON A CORNER ARE DEAD! AND WITH GOD'S HELP I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO DOING THAT SH%T AGAIN.
NO DISS TO ANYONE WHO IS / HAS TO HUSTLE ON A CORNER TO GET THEIRS. (I CANT KNOCK THE HUSTLE). BUT I KNOW NOW THAT THEIR IS A BETTER WAY.
TRUTH BE TOLD WE (RAP ARTIST) SPEAK ALOT ABOUT DRUGS AND HUSTLING IN OUR MUSIC. BUT THE REASON FOR MAKING MUSIC IS TO GET PAID OFF OF OUR SKILL LEGALLY. NONE OF THEM (RAP ARTIST WHO WERE DRUG DEALERS) WANTED TO DEAL DRUGS FOR A LIVING. (HENCE THE CAREER CHANGE)

YALL REMEMBER THE HOUSE ON LA BELLE BETWEEN IONIA / DIVISON? THAT WAS WANYE, YONT & KP STUDIO "RED EYE RECORDS" LOCATED IN MY HOOD ON THE CORNER OF IONIA & LA BELLE.
THEY GAVE ME MY 1ST BREAK... ME, PIGGY & TWEET (RIP) HAD A GROUP CALLED "N.O.M.M." (NIGGAZ ONA MUTHAFUCKIN MISSION) OUR STAGE NAMES WAS 1-EIGHT-7 (RANRU), TECH NINE (PIGGY), ALLIK G (TWEET) NOW THATS GUNRULE!
I USTA' THINK GETTING HIGH BEFORE SCHOOL WAS COOL!
I USTA' THINK BEING A GANGSTER OR HUSTLER WAS THE BEST OCCUPATION IN THE WORLD!
I USTA' THINK BEING REAL... MEANT BEING POOR!
I USTA' THINK DRESSING NICE...MEANT BEING SOFT!
I USTA' THINK BEING SMART...WAS DUMB!
I USTA' THINK SPEAKING PROPER WAS ACTING "WHITE"
I USTA' THINK ALOT OF THINGS... I COULD GO ON ALL DAY!
WHEN I WAS 13 IT WAS COOL TO DIE YOUNG! ME AND MY FRIENDS THOUGHT IT WAS GANGSTER TO NEVER SEE 18 (yrs old) AND ALOT OF THEM ARE DEAD OR LOCKED UP RIGHT NOW AS A RESULT OF TRYING TO LIVE THAT THOUGHT OUT.
IT'S CRAZY HOW OUR THOUGHTS BECOME US! HOW ARE LIVES ARE LIVED THROUGH OUR THOUGHTS OR A BELIEFS WE HAD THEN OR HAVE NOW.
(U FOLLOW ME?)
FOR EXAMPLE:MY COUSIN JASON GREW UP "RICH" HE HAD EVERYTHING A KID COULD WANT AND MORE. BOTH PARENTS, MONEY & A BIG HOUSE. (WITH A BASKETBALL RIM AND FUCKING POND IN HIS BACKYARD!) ON TOP OF ALL THAT THIS KID WAS SMART, ATHELETIC AND FLY! WE WAS TOTAL OPPOSITES...WELL MAYBE I WAS A LIL FLY'R THEN HIM (LOL!) BUT REAL TALK MY TWO JOB, ONE PARENT, SMALL APT UP-BRINGING WAS NO MATCH! (I'M STILL TRYING TO LIVE LIKE HE WAS THEN... NOW!)
THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE IS... ALL JASON WANTED TO DO WAS BE LIKE ME! HE WANTED TO BE... "POOR" (I GUESS?) HE THOUGHT LIVING IN THE HOOD WAS COOL. (BUT I KNEW, LIVING IN THE HOOD JUST MEANT YOU WAS POOR!) JASON WANTED TO SALE DRUGS, CARRY GUNS AND GANG BANG. AND EVENTUALLY HE DID. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT... JASON IS NOW DOING 15YRS IN M.D.O.C FOR MURDER!
AND ALL HE TALKS ABOUT IS HIS MONEY, FOOTBALL/BASKETBALL TROPHIES, PERFECT PARENTS & HIS BIG HOUSE! (WITH A FUCKING POND IN THE BACKYARD! LOL!) I'M JUST SAYING, I USTA THINK...
A COUPLE DEALERS ON MY RIGHT, A COUPLE DEALERS ON MY LEFT/ BUT IT DONT MATTER TO ME, CAUSE IM DEALER MYSELF/ FOUR-5TH ON MY RIGHT, A-R ON MY LEFT/ I GOTTA COUPLE SHOOTERS, BUT IM A KILLER MYSELF/ LIL SHORTY IN THE DRESS, WANNA DO ME I GUESS/ BUT IT DONT MATTER TO ME, CAUSE IM FEELIN MYSELF/ IMMA RAPPER AT HEART, BUT A HUSTLER BY FATE/ FUCK FILLING THE LOCAL SHELF, IM FILLING MY SAFE/ SHOUT OUT TO BEAT NICS, BUT I BEAT BRICKS/
I USTA BEAT BOX, NOW I DUCK BEAT COPS/ 50 IN THE BOX, ANOTHER 30 IN THE CLIP/ IT TOOK THREE COPS TO KILL DOC, FUCK PIGS/ IT WAS JUST PIG, NOW LOOK AT US/ WOLFPACKGANG, WE ARE GRAND RAPIDS/
I'M FEELING MYSELF... I GOT THE BIG HEAD LIKE DEBIASE... MY POCKETS CHUBBY LIKE BUSCAT... IN THE HOOD IMMA ICON LIKE J. JELKS... MY REP IS 24KT LIKE GC... I'M FLY LIKE DONNIE... IMMA BOSS LIKE CANARY... MY SWAG IS HOT2DEATH... IT'S A 1000 DEGREES IN MY SHADOW... THANK GOD IM FIREPROOF...I RUN WITA WOLFPACK...BUT WE CAN GO 1-ON-1... I WAS RAISED IN A TREAL CITY... I WAS BORN ADDICTED TO KOKAINE IN APRIL... NOW I GET MONEY IN MAYWEATHER... I PLAN TO BE WEALTHY LIKE TAI CHI... IMMA BORN REBEL LIKE NEFERTITI... I STAY PUFFIN THAT CHOCLATE TYE... I STAY POPPING THAT BLAK LABEL... I'M ALWAYS READY TO BANGOUT... I KNOW THE GAME LIKE CAPCOM... I WILLING TO SAKRAFICE... I KEEP A RAZOR BLADE THAT CUT WIT PRECISION...HONESTLY I WANNA RHYME LIKE CIVI... BUT I CAN'T STOP MAKING CRACK MUSIC! THE MOVEMENT IS STRONG... BEING A BOSS IS RUFF... BUT IM THE DON FUK HOW THEY PHIL... THEY SHOULD MAKE ME GOVENOR LIKE SLUGWELL... OR CROWN ME KING LIKE KAUTION... OR PRE-CROWN ME PRINCE LIKE WILLIE THE KID... BUT WHAT'S IN LA DARKMAN WILL ALWAYS COME TO THE LIGHT... MY SOUNDAHFEKZ EVERYONE IN DIFFERENT WAYS... SOME PEOPLE SPAZZ-OUT! SOME PEOPLE DON'T... IN THE HOOD IM CEASAR... ON THE MIC IMMA HITMAKER...
THE DUMBEST QUESTION U CAN ASK IS... IZY DOPE OR IZZY AMAZIN? THEY ALREADY KNOW THEDIL WIT ME! I'M A HUMBLE DUDE BUT I KEEP A TEHK TOGO HOSTILE! BUT REAL TALK I'M JUST TRYING TO LIVE YUNG AND DIE OLD! MY UNK TOLD ME WIZDOM COMES FROM OLD AGE. I MAY BE YOUNG BUT IM AS WISE AS A MONK WHILE MOST HUSTLERS WAS TRYING TO MAKE THEY RIMS SPINNY SPIN I WAS FOCUSED ON THE PAPER. IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN FREEDOM & JAIL. PRISON IS FULL OF DUDES WITH TALENT WHO GOT CAUGHT WITH RAW WHO WAS JUST TRYING TO C STACKS.
(YOUR PROBLY THINKING... WHO IS THIS GUY) WELL, THEY CALL ME MINI VAN RAN, BUT YOU MIGHT SEE ME POPPIN BUB INA BENTLEY FLYING DOWN BEMIS SMOKING DAT CLYDRO. I GET LOVE IN UPTOWN ALTHOUGH I NEVER ROCKED COOGI!
