AN ORIGINAL
Original comes from the Latin word originem, which means "beginning or birth."
Being Original is very important to me. It's like I can't be no one else but myself. If I feel myself being something other than who I am, I begin to feel funny and my work will reflect that.
REPUTATION SOLID
So much depends on reputation, guard it with your life.
My reputation is one of the most important things to me. I cannot have a bad reputation at zero cost as a man. That is why I carry myself with confidence, respect, and integrity.
MY LAST STAND
“pride comes before the fall”
If you change the rules on what controls you, you will change the rules on what you can control.
There is something about yourself that you don’t know. Something about yourself you will deny even exists, until it’s too late to do anything about it. It’s the only reason you get up in the morning. The only reason you suffer the blood, sweat, and tears. It’s because you want people to know how good, attractive, generous, funny, wild, and clever you really are. Fear, revere me. But please, think I’m special!
DOWN & OUT
I put my emotions and pain in this cup. Feeling like I'm being a disappointment to my mom and siblings. The weight on my shoulders are heavy. Every risk you took was a fail. The disappointment of self, thinking you should be further than you are now, but you not is heavy on your heart.
This liquor does you justice when you're Down & Out. I don't want to hear the fake motivation stuff from none of you. I'm not asking for a handout, but support. Empathy would be great! Do I get that? NO! Its ME, I stand alone on this journey. This is what I expected, my life is a wreck. I was born alone, Right? I'mma die alone, Right? Is death the answer? Sometimes while driving death crosses the mind. What if I run off the road into that river or hit that diesel truck? Will I be at peace then? Will I be happy then? Will that make me feel whole? I am a man on the edge of losing himself to the cup.
GROWING PAINS
When the caterpillar turns into a butterfly = Growing Pains. Do not fear the pain that comes with growth, because the rewards on the other end are more bountiful than you know. The pain and uncomfortable feelings you experience are signs of strength, as weakness leaves the body. Embrace it, soak it up, and encourage as much growth as possible.
RIGHT HAND 2 GOD
"Put my right hand to Jesus, fly like an eagle. Fight with these demons, shine light on my people." -nipsey
The right hand is connected with our conscious thoughts and actions. The right hand symbolizes the hand of blessing and mercy.
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10)
