This applies to anything in life

Your business, music career, dreams, goals, anything

Just something i’ve noticed. Strangers are the ones who’ll show you the most support.

Dont let that discourage y’all. Keep going

my friends usually do 🤔

you need better friends op

Good thing my friends are actual friends op & been supporting & helping

Nah ppl really be jealous boi
Ppl rather wish u death than happiness

Y’all must not be black

Its true man
Specially in ur 20s you'll realize how fake ppl be inn they intentions

And that ppl with no motivation or goal or talent become really jealous and judgy

Recently had this conversation even with peers
How much different everything could have been in a different environment znd when u look back. How much u have been held back by the people u thought would support u

Exactly man lmfao

White ppl been downplaying anything i did or wanted to accomplish
Even my family bein scrutinized

U see niggas getting prices and roses for literally half the s*** u doin
Why! Dont wanna see a Black guy strive

Theyll even recommend u the lowest available option hahahahaaha
This world is poisonous man fr

Even tho i must admit again, environment plays a. Huge rolz

I grew in an area with whitz Belgian farmers who still live in the 60s/70s back when the Congo affair was still going on

I was like the only black boi with ma sister in a whole town, imagine
This is pre Internet

ALOT OF RACIST s*** was said and done,all normalized ofc
Looking back, ppl was. Really jealous and mean, even. Till this day

Just take advantage of ur skin
Both pos and neg

Imagine telling your "friends" when you make it

This makes no sense b

If you can’t trust your friends, what does that tell you about yourself OP

Says something about yall age anf naivety but thats another story

Victory has thousand fathers but failure is a orphan

what the f*** is that even supposed to mean

are you saying that black people are inherently untrustworthy & leech off of others? i really don't get what being black has to do with what you're saying

Nah im saying that niggas hate on niggas

fam idk what to say you are just around the wrong kind of people

that’s a wild f***ing generalization to make

You just need better friends or get better at recognizing who are your Real friends - Kanye West

Real friends how many of em?

Racists dont balance they morals bro

"keep ur circle tiny"

I mean thats not really a wild generalization tbh
Jealousy and hate are always lurking around tje corner
Every floor of society
They'll s*** on you and make sure u dont progress any way possible
Thats why niggas run in family businesses and s***, so full power goes to them

I aint ever seen anybody appoint a black individual as CEO here
People laugh at this idea even

Ppl telling u be whats best for u? They recommend u the lowest s***

How come i was a good writer in high school and never ever got props for it? Only language teachers?
Ah cause im a black kiddo in a white school, who happened to be better at their own language than they were
Yes im an instant target

All i got was negativity thrown at me
My appearance, way of talking,dreams everything

But when a kid did it or does it?
Wow next big thing in the world

Every time i got f***ed by my friends
Cause when the time was there and the iron got hot
Yup theyd all leave

Cause who would wanna be the only white person to support the only black guy?

op is not talking about the entire world. he is talking about his friends, who he has made and actively decides to associate with.

if you are well in your 20s and still don't know how to filter out the snakes from your real friends, idk what to say.

depends imo. unconditional support can be harmful, or just flat out unhelpful. some people want honesty and take gas as fake while some want gas and take honesty as hate. depends on the goal/person. i know people who had it all and got all the support early fall off the f***ing map cause they got complacent/big headed. ultimately that comes down to the person but idk. sometimes you can’t give that level of love until you see them see it through. can still support along the way tho
