Is the Hard Way the Best Way to Learn?

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I'll never forget when I was a lowercase g, my Mommy was curling her hair. She left the bathroom and told me not to touch the curling iron. It was calling me broski's. It was like "Spark, come wrap your hands around me nikka" So I grabbed that bytch like I was shaking it's hand Safe to say, I learned my lesson

When I got older, I was super on some hustling shyt. Everybody used to be like, "oh, you're so smart, you should be making money the legally way, this will eventually catch up to you". I was like I'm out here getting this money nikka. Well, I got caught slipping and ended up doing some time in prison. Now, a few months away from graduating college, and proud to be a productive citizen of society

I be seeing my lil cousins on shyt and I don't even say nothing. The only real way to learn is the hard way

Absolutely not. Once you reach a certain age, you should be able to learn just off observations. You don't need to get played by a smut to learn not to be a simp. People just do things off impulse.

Yeah, Im speaking on being younger. Once you get older your wisdom should start kicking in and you can actually learn from other peoples mistakes without going through the situation yourself

You can always be the wise old sage, bro-Yoda if you will, and dispense wisdom. And then, you can always say the "I told you so" line, when they don't listen to you.
When your words of wisdom prove themselves, people will look to you for advice. That's how it begins. Those who are fools will stay fools though.
