How many of yall went through the 'thug' phase as a teenager

[Harry Sax]

i was always a straight nikka...im from the hood...all the men in my family sells/sold dope...it wasnt really broadcasted in front of me as a youth, but look at who my role models were

moms lived honest and kept me straight...honor roll, gifted, played football...but i wasnt a square ass nikka...im still from the hood...even when we moved from the hood i was always in the hood cause we wasnt far removed from it

i did shyt that normal teenagers from the hood have done, sold a cpl dime bags, plenty of fights, guns, stupid shyt...def earned my stripes and respect from shyt i did as a teenager...but that didnt give me any kind of special feeling because i was just being myself

i dnt ride around mobbin all day like other nikkas who have nuthin better else to do, and i'll still fukk a nikka up and slang if i have to, meaning that i'm the same person i've always been...but im not a thug
