" Get me this one tupac " I say pointing to a sticker picture of a vanilla ice cream with Sprinkles .
he nods his head .
" let me get the vanilla with sprinkles " he says.
Damn his voice is deep.
We get our ice cream & start walking around the park .
" can I ask you a question " I say licking my ice cream
" go ahead ma "
" why do you portray this thug life style character that song today at the studio it was like you were a different person "
He chuckles.
" what's your definition of thug life ?" He says finishing his ice cream .
" a criminal , a killer , a violent outlaw " I say .
"The Hate they Gave Little Infants Fucks Everybody, meaning, what you feed us as seeds, grows, and blows up in your face, thats Thug Life."
I give him a confused face .
" I don't understand " I say throwing My cone in the garbage .

Contrary to popular belief, a person who leads a "Thug Life" is not criminal. The acronym made popular by me has nothing to do with being a "gangsta" or anything of the sort, rather, it stands for all the socially oppressive things we are taught at a young age that negatively affects us (or society) as adults.When parents teach their children to hate a certain group of people because they are "different" than them, that in turn "fucks everyone," and the people who are victims of that hate, live a "Thug life"
Many people who aren't familiar with my work commonly mistaken the phrase as someone who is a "gangsta",lowlife, "criminal," etc. not realising that there is much more to the acronym than meets the eye ."
