You make your own destiny, that's all I'm saying.

just cause you are from one of those areas, doesnt make you a gangsta.
i used to live in one of the worst areas in detroit, marvin gardens(projects)
and most of the people i knew were good decent people with jobs, not necessarily good paying jobs, but jobs none the less

damn thats a hard core place .but i totally agree with u. I feel sry for the ones that think they cant get out and move up . They dont even try because they think its pointless. I know alot of people from that area. Its about 50/50 sum get out and sum get caught up. Guess it all comes down to what u are willing to do to change ur situation.

well im not poor but i wouldnt say i make it to middle class either, i go to labor ready its a temp job place they send you to some buisness to do phyisical labor, you work one day and get paid for it that day in cash(pays bullshit though, minimum wage).

Got a job working nights (6pm-6am 6 nights a week) at a woodshop last fall, worked with a bunch of people from labor ready... Unfortunately I'm white and they were all straight out of Macom Country (the prison, primarily blakc population due to location)... Well yeah, lets just say I never went to work without my blade! Crazy bastards man...

When I lived in NYC, (love the city by the way) I actually knew real gansters, the old fashoned kind, I didn't know what they were for years because I grew up out west and did not really know about this kinda thing, I thought it was odd that they had these jobs but never really worked. I thought it was just a stereo type, well the movies and TV actually do not go far enough, they are actually very much more like that at times than you would believe, but can look like all types. They would introduce me as "he's the artist" and laugh, (I am an artist) and for them quite a novelty. I never had a problem, but don't ever borrow any money or anything, they will look at you a hole nother way, and they can tend to elivate situations at warp speed to a level you would never even consider, caution is advised around the real guys. Anyway it was always interesting to say the least.
