Always say less than necessary.
NEVER speak to law enforcement. ALWAYS indicate you want to speak to your lawyer and WILL NOT speak any further without one present. Doesn’t fukking matter if you don’t have one, say that as you will be appointed one in the future. Can’t tell you how many times cats get caught up talking to police. As I told a detective once in my youth, it’s their job to investigate so do your job I don’t know shyt. Again, if you get jammed DONT TALK.
Seek mentors. This is something I learned the hard way because I didn’t have access to any coming up and I didn’t understand the power behind it. Yoh see someone doing or living the way you want to live? Go up to them and ask them. It isn’t always they gonna help but you should always be willing to do what it takes to level up.
get money. You are nothing without money. And aim fukking high. You got youngins in your family or know if any trying to get a highwr education and shyt? Push them to apply to Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, etc. We claim we can’t get into these schools but there’s something to be said about not applying. Let them fukking tell you no, don’t limit yourself. I rather y’all say “oh well” that shyt didn’t work rather then “fukk, what if I had made an attempt”.
Be well read. Read everything. Learn from everyone.
and don’t give everyone access to you. Be selective and deliberate in every single thing that you do. Be it the bytches you fukk, people you follow, nikkas you actively listen to. I say actively cause I’m always ear hustling and know a fool can give game at times, but be mindful.
build a network but strive for self reliance!
