Sample text
Haters and critics read again and listen carefully. It’s hustle the money – not steal the money, not take a gun and rob for the money, not start a Ponzi scheme and con for the money – just hustle the money. I stress the point repeatedly because there is a section of Society that believes that when ghetto youths acquire ambition for financial success it means that we are going to embark on some unscrupulous or illegal activity to rob people of their money. I often wonder why Society’s elites think ghetto youths don’t want the same for our families as they do.
This book is dedicated to her and I owe all my success to her. Mommy me love YOU! Mi swear from mi heart that Theresa Wilson Palmer is my queen. Having said all that though, my song and the feelings that I have expressed in the song “Mama” are not just about my gratitude for having the ability to provide material riches for my mother but also a desire to express a sense of eternal indebtedness for giving me life and nurturing me. I wanted to convey to ghetto youths that taking care of mommy is a big part of our duty but no matter how much money we make, we can never truly repay her for bringing us into this world.
So please, my people, there is no such thing as free education in Jamaica. It is just a con for us to worship misleading politicians. This free education thing is just the tip of the iceberg of how Society deals with ghetto people. I have bad news for ghetto people in Jamaica who believe in social mobility and acceptance into the middle or upper class. It may happen in other places but not here. Some people that aspire to be considered upper class believe that if they get the right job, make the right money, drive the right car, move into the right neighbourhood; then the ‘Joneses’ will accept them and they will become one with them.
