spend a tremendous amount of the money trying to truly change things.....
i'd make sure i'd leave something to pass on to my son......
but it wouldn't be 1% type money.....i'd put a ridiculous amount of that into my twisted vision of saving the city....i think it could be done... it's prolly naive in theory, but i'd damn near go broke trying to turn it into a reality...
i think when it's all said and done, there will be a few who might consider my acts noble, but i think a large majority would call it a waste
welcome to my reality brother @DWO
orange juice it to the left and remi is to the right.
would you care for a newspaper today to see how many more niggas think your crazy?
i be driving through my city daydreaming like
"i wonder how much money it would take to train all these niggaz in the streets to flip houses? there's literally tons and tons and tons of fucked houses in baltimore....if the common popular trade was different forms of contracting,,...roofing, plumbing, cementing, carpentry..etc....like if that became the "in" thing to do....niggaz getting their squad together to flip a destroyed home into profit....this cit could drastically improve over time"
like just think about it...i mean fiends are always going to be fiends.....so there will always be niggaz who sell drugs....but there's a large group of guys out in the streets who just want to make money......and there's money in repairing and flipping houses.....now yea it's a lot of people out there who have those crafts...but imagine if damn near EVERYBODY knew how to repair houses... imagine the market flooded with people who know how to work on homes....with all the destroyed and vacant property int he city....niggaz would be damn near forced to fix up random houses and post pic just to advertise and compete.....
dudes would be fixing their own homes up just to show off their skill.....everybody be trying their best to outshine the competition, and ultimately the winner would be the city....
i drive through baltimore, and see everything in desperate need of help....imagine driving through, and seeing nothing but either people working on homes, or people showing the work they've done to homes....
that shit would take a lot of time and a whole lot money... but if i had it....i promise you that would be my mission
