That sinking feeling when you get older.....

[Digital Omen]

I think it applies more to the creative industries: music, art, writing, dancing, acting, whatever

Like if you're an athlete, you find out by high school/college if you're gonna make it (go pro and have a career)
same goes for bookworms/nerds etc. They find out by college time if they're gonna get into the Ivy League or a top private school and become 6 figs/6 certs
or the ones with the shyts in the streets: 3-4 years of fast life in their late teens/early 20s followed by the graveyard or prison. But they all think they'll be the next Jay-Z.

But in the creative biz, you can keep trying and trying well into your 40s/50s until you get "discovered" "signed" "put on"

it's only so long youth can distract you from the fact you don't possess the intelligence to occupy the top tier of life's hierarchy..........*

If you have to discover this shyt once you start getting older, that means you’ll be a loser for life

Define running the streets? Hanging out at weird hours or running with the folk?

Making money(legally or illegally), drinking, smoking, doing drugs, chasing women preferably after hours

What the hell is a square?

Law abiding citizen who has a monotonous day-to-date life. Doesn't engage in nikka nonsense and thrive off chaos.

nikkas have the streets

I’m on the highway

I think that sinking feeling comes because people had hopes of becoming somebody or someone. We all want to be larger then life, but as we grow older we realize "damn.....i am like everybody else...this story has been told before". We become constant clockwatchers waiting for that big break or something that will change our lives, but it never comes

Dap and rep

I've never been a street dude. I've dabbled in some fukkery every now and then, but for the most part I'm a square.

You have to be a square if you want a successful life.
No more running the streets

If you’ve never been a street dude and have always been a square, why are you talking about it as if it’s a change for you?

No more? When the fukk did you start?

Because I've been around street dudes the majority of my life, and they get to have the "short-term" fun
