C.R.E.A.M.

The root of evil isn’t money, it’s not having money. Brokeness blows dark thoughts into my mind like thick black smoke. The worst part is seeing my mom suffer. It weighs on me, clings to me like wet clothes.

Criminal minded you’ve been blinded …

The other night, riding ’round the city with Scoop and Amir, I peep what this whole world is about. It’s as clear as a Ziploc that cash—bucks, endz, dough, bread, scratch, cheese, loot, green, gwop, bank—rules everything around me, near me, in the distance, and on the hazy horizon. I think about all the songs about money: “Get Money,” “For the Love of $,” “C.R.E.A.M.,” “All for the Money,” “Dead Presidents,” “Paid in Full,” “It All Comes Down to the Money,” “Mo Money, Mo Problems,” “Money, Power, Respect,” “Money Money Money.” About how all the artists that made those songs probably felt like I feel right now.

Visualizin the realism of life and actuality

Fuck who’s the baddest a person’s status depends on salary*
