Validation is a man’s silent killer…
Men I wanna make you aware of something that most of us are doing and unaware of…
A lot of us are doing 25 to LIFE because of how far we go to seek validation from other men
Confused? Nayi lendaba…
Who sells the most weed and drugs?
Who buys the most expensive bottles of alcohol?
Who has the most cars?
Who’s pulling the baddest chicks
Who’s the first to snap, fight or pull the trigger?
Who has the craziest reputation?
We go above and beyond to impress and receive validation from others
————————————————————-
None of your homies will ever come to visit,
Put money for your books,
Ever write you a letter,
Ever take your reverse calls/Please calls
They won’t even PRAY for you…
When you get sentenced, you tell them to hold your girl or wifey down…
Hold her down??? Yeah OK! (fill in the blanks)
In the streets, you go out of your way to impress them! When you need them MOST they will leave you for dead
This is why validation is a man’s silent killer
