I ain't giving my family no money because I'm getting taxed better than you.
That's what Micah said.
Nobody teaches that.
And then they all chastise us or make us feel guilty for not doing it.
I used to go to my family like this, like, yo...
We on a ship right now and it's a hole at the bottom.
I can get off this ship and go on a lifeboat and go get, you know, it's gonna sink.
But by the time it gets life-threatening, I'll come back with a bigger boat.
Or I can sit on this boat and party with you.
It's all the same to me.
But when this sink, me and mine getting on this life raft, my family chose to sink.
Because we don't know.
We all came from the hood.
Section 8, our whole life.
So all they knew was to party and keep spending and keep spending.
And I knew that this wasn't the way.
I just didn't know the way to go.
And then I'm scared to leave my family, so I just chose to die with them.
