Growing up in the projects lowkey is goat

not everybody strives to be a white man with black skin.

It's really sad to see. White people have brainwashed black people so much to associate poverty with blackness

All the bullshyt aside you knew everyone in whatever court or building from day 1. shyts like a big extended family. Even growing up you can remember what building you're from and where you built from. to all my fellow project babys

If you believe that, then why'd you move out....Havoc?

they tore down the housing where I grew up, I cant even go back to reminisce

But I feel what Op is saying, you knew everyone. we had common bb/courts and a giant field and all the kids knew fkd w/each other. every summer was crazy

corner store where all the kids would go early in the am and drive the owner nuts

I get where OP is coming from, but believe me when I tell you the greatest day of my childhood was when we moved OUT of the PJ's.

Seeing dead bodies at the age of 5 is NOT the wave.​

No thanks... I enjoyed climbing the giant tree in my big back yard growing up...

only 12 homes on your block is pretty much the highest value American living you can get.

They tore my child hood projects down and replaced them with housing plus I'm grown now and can look back on where I came from. Some of y'all nighas a bit in here lowkey.

Growing up around different people is the goat experience. We used to knock people out for being from the projects.

Growing up around different people is the goat experience. .

I grew up on military bases. Not only was I around different people (since some of everyone joins the military) I was in different countries as well

It was very interesting...living in a different state/country every 3-4 years. As a result, I don't have those lifelong bonds that other have given that they grew up in one neighborhood.

nikkas really need to stop thinking growing up in poverty is a good thing.

When you don’t know any better, you don’t know any better.
