Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I passed every class with Bs and Cs. Passed every test with As

But I never studied. Not one time. And barely did my homework. Just made it all up on tests and exams

When it came to college I straight up told my folks I'm not going cause i'll waste your money. I'll just party and have fun




I should have applied myself, and got a damn scholarship and gone to college. I went to the Air Force but visiting hoes on college. That shyt seemed fun as fukk. And if these fools can pull it off and graduate, I know damn well I could have

Now I'm thinking of going back. But it won't be the same as being 18 and in the dorms

Would've focused more on what I could really do for a living rather than just wait to chase some job.

Sound Reasoning
High School

- Continued taking AP math classes. I stopped after I fulfilled the state requirement for math in my sophomore year.
- Skipped sports...who cares about HS sports anyway
- Got into Morehouse or an Ivy

College

- Studied same major but with a minor in Political Science. Or maybe a double Major in Finance and Political Science
- Joined campus business/investment club for future networking
- Started business in college...best case-no need for a job after graduation, worst case-resume booster

Peace

Hmm...probably be more social.

Did well in HS and Uni. Have a great job but I think being "street smart" and just knowing how to navigate certain situations and people are a bit more useful in the long run. I wasted 4 years not doing that.

your stars are but dust on my shoes
In high school I should've just eased up instead of trying to look hard all the damn time. There was really no reason for me to be so reserved, I should've made more friends.

College, just understand how important it is to build your GPA from the start. Also, probably should have just broke up with my girl before my freshman year. :snoop:

I feel cold for that one tho:francis:

College - Not a damn thing really except how I would have handled the financial aid situation for when I did my MBA.

HS - There was plenty but my parents were on the strict side. Couldn't make too many moves like that unless that was not the case.

Not talking my way out of so much p*ssy :snoop:

I remember I turned this chick down twice from Sophomore year to Junior year. And then all of sudden she gets bad Senior year(filled out). I tried to get at her and she turned me down for some Puerto Rican nikka that ended up burning her :heh::aicmon:.

HIGH SCHOOL:
not a muthafukkin' thing.

I went to one of the most ghetto ass high schools in the country and turned out fine.
my school was known for nothing but pumping out prisoners and baby mommas

i went there, stayed to myself, graduated, and left for college.

never got bullied or clowned on, wasn't getting any p*ssy either (except from my girl), didn't do drugs and drink or any silly shyt like that..

if i could do it all over again, i'd do it the exact same way.

COLLEGE:
I'd have never gone to HBCU's.

I was so militant that I refused to even look at white people. i would sometimes go MONTHS without seeing white people (unless it was on TV) and was :blessed:

i wasted 4 years of my college life at HBCU's where my education was straight pigeonholed

i eventually got my degree from a PWI. and would have gotten it sooner had I just gone there from the jump.
