English 101
I think its always best to be humble about what you have even if you come from nothing. Because its not what you have that defines you but rather who you are. This quote applies to rappers especially, for example French Montana. French grew up in the South Bronx, coming here as an immigrant must not have been easy for him. But look at how far he's made it, look who he's dating! French boasts a lot about what he has but how much has he given back to the community that he grew up in? Has he given back anywhere? Thats what I wonder. Although he was able to reinvent himself, is showing off really who he is? You're always supposed to ask yourself if you like who you're becoming as a person. I wonder how many people do that and if we were to all do that would all of us have made the same stupid choices we made or would we be slightly better people? If you came from nothing I'm not saying theres no room for gloating but what I'm saying is that there is a limit. Once you reach the limit you have to decide who you want to be. I say this because money changes people, some for the worst and very little for the better.
