Wait, oh my gosh.
I got a student loan and pay off grant.
Oh, listen, yeah. I didn't get, I had my last year of college, I got a student loan. Other than that, I had scholarships. You turned them down? You turned them down? My parents are really big on not coming out of college with debt. Yeah. I had to get that money. I had to get it. That student loan, it felt like free money. Until you got to pay it back. Mm-hmm.
Ain't nothing free. Listen, I know a lot of people right now are like, please forgive me for my student loans.
Black people don't forget they sell. I don't know why they're worried about that. Man, I'm probably worried about that student loan bill like that. You gotta hit the lottery before we pay that back. Like, nobody ain't finna just pay no student loan back. Your career gotta be set. And then you gotta show me you set again. You gotta be double-crossed. Like, are you sure I'm making this money?
And then pay it back. Black people ain't worried about that, bitch. They're like, Fannie Mae who? No. Then they be like, it's gonna go in your credit report. So what? I don't care about no credit report.
Not for real. We care about this stuff when we get up. On the way up, man.
Yeah, when you're there, you're not thinking about that.
