Just don't fukk up too much in the first place.
You know thats a tall order in our fukked up situation.

Yes I agree that you should try not to fukk up too much but that doesnt mean that if they didnt their change should be rejected.

You have to stop worrying about others and live for yourself.

That is the problem with this society, now. We're always telling people to 'live for themselves', but, by doing what we tell them, they aren't.

It's contradictory, confusing and leads to the current trend of functionally dysfunctional people roaming the streets now.

Society functions best by adherence to 'norms'. We're encouraging extremes. When it blows up in our face, we act shocked.

Thats the thing. You gotta have followers or supporters to move forward.

If people like them dont get followers or supporters then they will stop.

Many great black people especially in the hood who never got to use their talents and ended up dying unsung and with nothing because nobody wanted to embrace their change and actually went against them for it.

Many unsung people reverted because nobody wanted to embrace their change.

Just saying.


As long as you have the most high, you don't need anybodys support. Everybody falls short along the way.

The people who's eyes were opened to something better never really lose sight of that. Even if they revert. You just have to keep your heart in the right place.... you can't take any of these materials with you when you die no matter the situation.

I know this isn't an acceptable and/or p.c answer for everybody though so I'll spoiler it, but this life is a test, and passing it isn't determined by how long you live or personal accomplishments. Sometimes these peoples deaths are needed for great change to occur and they've already done what they needed to make it to paradise. That's not for me to judge.

It's terrible, but it's only half the story when you see a grave as the end.

I think this song kind of sums up what some of my missed points are too.

Its quite annoying when one of our own expresses interest in changing his ways and he gets shut down because of his past.

Let the people cook and see if the person will go back to his or her old ways before you judge.

Is that so much to ask?

Maya Angelou was a stripper but then she changed and became great. Malcolm X even had a past before he changed and became great. :yeshrug:

Every saint was a past,
And every sinner has a future.
