Always thought you were one of the best posters here. That's a good ass read, and anybody skipping over this thread or not reading is doing themselves a real disservice.

Great read Im on probation right now but when you was on probation did you ever keep that date in the back of your head as to when you would be off?? And once you was off probation was it a sigh of relief or did you just keep it moving and took it as a lesson??

I never had a concrete date as to when I was getting off of probation. As I said, it was put in my sentencing order as "indefinite" (which doesn't necessarily mean infinite). And it's a sigh of relief, but in Virginia, any time you're on probation, you're usually on what's called "Good Behavior" too, it's basically a second probation. Where if the time over your head is removed due to you beating the probation...If you catch a case, the fact that you were on Good Behavior will result in more harsh penalties, when they get to explaining that against your ass in court.

Part of the reason I'm still leaving VA. Not that I plan on committing any crimes, but that black cloud, of knowing that shyt's just hanging over your head at all times....Is no way to live on a day to day basis. Especially going through the lows...

What happened to your "ride along" that snitched? You had some real bad judgement for a real long time. Glad it all worked out for you. And I don't need the dap and rep.

My "ride along" was instructed (and I left this part out) to ride, because he was practically begging for money at that point. It was more of a show & prove thing with me. I would've just gave the nikka some bread due to the fact that I was leaving the state permanently, and that was "my son" (though he was 2 years younger than me). But he owed me, and there were a plethora of other factors at play. His family put him out and disowned him, I had him living outta hotels on my dime, pumping my shyt to get himself on, etc.

We argued the day before it all went down and I nearly popped him out of frustration. I told him if he showed me where his heart was at one last time & put in some work (I just ended up not needing him to do so), then I'd split what my worker owed me with him down the middle...And he could stop bytching about me leaving and him fukking up his bread.


Wouldn't call it bad judgement. In retrospect, or from the outside looking in, I can see where one might though. Lot of different factors were at play here though. When you ain't have the proper male guidance, nor big brothers/cousins around, it was only natural that I gravitated to the streets and nikkas in similar situations. I was a loner for a long time before that, doing just fine. Saw that these nikkas was TRYING to be street nikkas but lacked direction & organization. Neither time should I have allowed myself to get ratted on, but that's the chances you take doing ANYTHING illegal WITH anybody, or telling anybody about it. At 18, 19, you not really thinking like a convicted felon unless you become one (when it comes to trust & putting in work completely dolo).

And not for nothing, we was from completely different sets, but all rocked the same flag. When nikkas take an oath to the streets, to they gang, and moreless as men, you somewhat might have a little more (misplaced) faith that they'll stay true to those codes. Where I came from, the consequences of not doing so was death. And not for nothing, I had real killers who'd bust they gun on command (not just for me, but just in general on some "say I won't" type shyt) around me. THESE aren't the nikkas that ratted. It was the young boys who were my age who did.


And for the record, what happened to him? The day he came home, he already had his peoples with bags packed to move to a far away state, guess he thinks he can just start over, move on & shyt be gravy. What can you do, right? At this point, it won't benefit me, to speak more in depth about the topic, so I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that.

Your post always came across like you had a "real" life story to tell.

One question I do have, when your people "ratted" on you the first time, how could you allow yourself to build trust in anyone else like that again. Was there a specific reason you couldn't do the job that got you that time on your own?

I tell people all the time, when the man put 5-10 years on the table in front of your boy, you really think he is going to eat that?

And I answered this question above, homie. It was a one man-job. But off principle, I figured if my "man" was gonna beg for more bread, I'd might as well make him earn it, after what he put me through. Until the point he ratted, he was ALWAYS a stand up dude. I mean there's shyt he COULD have told on me about that would've surely landed me in jail for football numbers. I'm still perplexed to this day why he chose what he chose to tell on, why he was 100 up until that point. It's like you don't even know nikkas. I've bailed this cat out of jail on his birthday before, some shyt just ain't meant to add up. And you never know a nikka in ya circle a rat, until you KNOW. That's why I dont even give a nikka a chance to get close to my inner sanctum. And don't deal in anything illegal period, anymore. I don't even entertain certain types of nikkas. For real, I be on my but shyt, all day every day. nikkas is just ignorant. And I was only able to trust after a long period of being home again (after my first bid), and the fact that me and dude were close before then and he'd never did any fukk shyt. There's a longer story to that, but I won't get into it.

All in all, I think the fact I wasn't fathered properly, and the resulting side-effects it had on me and my psyche, made me more willing to be a father type figure to my peers and other lost nikkas. More accepting, even when it might have not been the best option. I don't have kids. So maybe (looking back) it was just my way of correcting what my pops did wrong, in my own little twisted, but loyal way.




And for the record, none of these nikkas mentioned who did me dirty are even remotely CLOSE to me or the state I reside in. I'll leave it at that.

a long read, but a good read

Here's something to do. Make a contingency plan. Make a list of all possible things that could go wrong and how you will handle them ahead of time just so you are able to maintain your stability in the event that anything problematic occurs. Also, map out a future plan. Even though your life probably won't go according to plan, it always pays to have some direction.

Also, save every scrap of change you can get and invest in your financial education. In other words, spend time reading up on how to make your money grow and how to engage in fiscally sound policies. One of the biggest things you'll want to have is a 'fall-back' fund. We don't talk about this stuff a lot in the black community because we're too busy showing out for each other and other such things... but basically you want to have enough money stacked to where if you got unemployed, you could live without a problem for several months. Frugality is key.

Great read breh make your life the best from now on

Here's the kicker, the lead detective on the case was once a high school "hall" / "resource" officer who rose up in the ranks. The same officer that was present at my 10th grade expulsion hearing when I put a nikka head through a window. The same detective who was on my case when I did 6 months in 2007, and my "people" told on me, fingered me as the "mastermind" behind our crimes. The same detective whom I beat a case against, AFTER ALL THAT, in which I literally got away with threaning to kill his whole family & told him the addresses of his home, and mother's workplace. (God strike me dead if I'm making this shyt up, I'm not proud of it at all.) So I was 1-2 vs. this fakkit, and he was testifying all of my past crimes & run ins during a case in which my life was on the line. Not even 22 years old yet, and mentally, awaiting sentencing for 3 months...I went from preparing myself for a 2-5, to coming to terms with the fact I'd have to lay down until I was at least 37. Half the charges were dropped in my plea, but enough time was still there with the charges that were left over, to put me away for a long time, if they'd all been prosecuted to their maximum extent.

You had the Mr Feeny of cops on you. Felon meets world

Already began doing this years ago homie. After all, I majored in Business Administration, minored in Accounting, not only to more readily do and pursue everything you just talked about, but to account for the fact that when/if the well dries up or work's hard to come by, I'll still want to be pulling in revenue from private business ventures. Also because I knew I'd need the skills to manage my own books, and to know the ins and outs of EVERYTHING. From index funds to IPOs, I'm on it. And not for nothing, but I don't plan on having Social Security by the time we reach the older generations age. To me, entrepreneurship and running a small business is ESSENTIAL, even imperative, to future success and life comfort in the latter years.

I actually plan on becoming a small business consultant/advisor to underpriveleged/undereducated minorities at some point. To point THEM in the right direction with their goals, dreams, and funds, who might not otherwise have had an opportunity to gain such through traditional means. I was reading books on money management, watching Suze Orman, and writing term papers on Venture Capitalism at the same damn time....in prison. Ain't stopped just b/c I came home. But I appreciate the look, I still check for your posts in the Quick Gems thread. Salute.

For reals you need to write a book or go to youth jails and speak to the brehs that they can still do something in life.

I'm glad you've taken the time to consider all aspects of your development and you're also willing to share the knowledge with others who are in need. So many in the black community were not privileged to have father figures who were there or who actually gave them knowledge that would keep them on solid ground, so you taking the time to instruct them could literally be the difference between life and death. I feel that there is a lot of work to be done in unwinding this utterly disastrous and self-destructive mindset foisted upon us by society. There is much work to be done but the workers are few. Salute and God bless.

Glad we see completely eye to eye. Not surprised coming from you, though. Respect. We'll build sometime.

Most definitely, get at me.

Salute. I'm definitely on that track...So many tasks, so little time. You don't understand how FAST 24 hours goes by until you've did serious time. My ONLY problem these days is managing time. Not in a procrastinating way, but in a "want to get TOO MANY things done, in a short period" way. Like I'm trying to make up for those 4 years, but I know & understand that's impossible. Definitely, definitely gonna be giving back. I don't find glory or enjoyment in my old war stories, nor the war stories of other "street nikkas". Once I realized that, I realized that I'd matured and really can carve out my OWN meaning to life, as I see fit. A lot of cats need the motivation I can provide, you can provide, anyone can provide...


But all I get from the Coli is, "ay, where that mixtape you said was dropping last year at doe"

I just want to say, THAT'S HOW YOU GET A nikka INTO A LONG READ.

I was just about to skim through this shyt, but then I got hit with the first sentence and now I'm ready to rock.
