Around 35 after being educated and developing a career I realized how corny and bad being in a gang is.
It's evil then - hurting others.
But now at 43 - further Into to my career and life - I developed other interests.
It's embarrassing to be known to be in a youth gang then - with no career as a man now. In reality, in the work force it doesn't look good at all.
I personally could have gone the crime route. But I chose instead to work at McDonald's and pay for my own College cause my parents couldn't afford it. I acted on it. Never chose to be a victim. I chose responsibility.
Even getting props as a young rapper is cool. But other things are more important at 43.
Especially when someone like Redman said
"At my age it's all about bread/ trying ta be nice at 40? You could have it all shorty!"
