The Three R's

"Stand up cats beat the odds by far, Real Recognize Real, R.R.R. " ~ Joe Budden

Guess who's back from hiatus yellin "Hi Haters!"? Yup, the one and only. I've been a mixture of busy and sick, so that explains the lack of blogs.

Anyways, on to the blog. The three R's. If you haven't figured what they stand for, look at the quote. Real. Recognize Real. Take a minute. Absorb that. Make a mental note. That's a code to live by.
Let me explain. RRR isn't just a code for street thugs and gangbangers. It applies to everyone. We've all had it happen. That one person you thought was down for you, only to find out later they were a snake. That is why you have to live by the three R's.

If your real, if you have what me and Maddchild like to call RLE (real life experience...thats another blog), you will be able to tell who is fronting on you and who is really willing to ride for you. That feeling in your gut, trust it. It's generally right. If you think you have alot of people down to ride, you might want to re-evaluate your crew. I bet you half those dudes are running if times get hard.

When you find out who your real homies are, keep them. Give them love. If they're real enough to hold you down, thats not something you want to lose. Nothing is worse than finding out no one is really down for you when shit hits the fan. I've been there.

If you start to find out you have no real friends...well it sucks but you will be better off in the long run. Two or three people that will hold you down no matter what are better than 15-20 "friends". So find those few people that are by your side no matter what. And keep them close.

And if nothing else, then...
"Fend for yourself, cuz you ain't got no boys, ride or die, really you ain't got no choice" ~ Joe Budden

One Love to the few that hold me down,
Blue aka 1 Breath
