I was screwed for a few grand out of some dude who I thought was my friend. Many things in my mind said not to trust him, but I was innocent and a 22 yo kid who didn't know what he was getting into. I ended up having to pay that price. It was tough at first and I was close to doing some things that are against the law, but my family helped me through the drama. In the end it was a damn expensive lesson, but you gotta just be thankful it wasn't worse.
As the dude's in De La Soul once said,
I mean I love life man, you know what I mean
life is beautiful, it's just the shit in it that's fukked up. it's rough but it's fair. People gotta go out there and bust they, bust they ass for a job. I mean, my dad's got five kids, man, and I mean yo, he hates drivin' a bus but he loves five kids you feel me?
