The great majority of my inner circle at the least has a decent side hustle, at most, is 100% eat what you kill status. I have nieces and nephews and lil cousins who I tell they shouldnt have to work for nobody, ever, and should start learning how to support themselves early. I'm workin on gettin my wife on self sufficient status. Fuck talkin about what aint, and lets figure out what can be.
A virus dont complain about whats goin on in the rest of your body, it just spreads until it sieze shit up. Spread the hustler's mentality until we all free, everybody aint built for it, but many are.
i think the word hustle has a negative connotation in our community.
its like when you hear it....it usually comes from someone trying to get money fast without the work. i think we should replaced it with "hard work"
i knew a hustler who would not get a job but took the time to break into abandoned houses and strip all the copper pipping out. he hustled but dont wanna work
and there "lies" the problem..
that whole line of thought is a lie..
if u think a hustla ON ANY LEVEL aint workin u the fool..
u think hustlin ON ANY LEVEL is easy money u the idiot..
its comparable to blacks an education..
we ridicule people who go out the way to not submit to the system as we would someone who get straight As in highschool..
we literally make fun of people who sell CDs.. Jordans and shit cause they aint got a "real job" fuck is a real job and why SHOULD he want one??
we need to sot back and really think about why we have the mindframe we have and who gave it to us??!
i mean if i was an employer and needed cheap labor id groom the populace to look negatively on venturing out on ur own takin risk to work for urself and secure ur own wealth..
yeh u look and see a nigga sellin CDs in the parking lot but i see a nigga workin WELL OVER 8hrs a day and every dollar he makes is goin to his pockets and not someone else's..
but nah.. lets shame him to go get a "real job" and have him workin at Starbucks making 100s of cups coffee at 10$ a pop for 50bux a day... IF THAT!
