This is one of the best pieces of urban advice I’ve read in a long while…

From:Ask Dr. Philebrity:

Gangstas, like their ancient swarthy gang-ster urban antecendents, like violence.

They wouldn’t be gangstas if they didn’t, and no matter what they say

(there’s always a Ghost Dog in the bunch), this is their thing.

The upshot of all this (bad pun, but are you paying for this advice?)

is that gangstas generally only shoot those impudent enough to f*ck with them.

The downside is that they often miss and hit someone else,

but let’s see the silver lining for now and just disregard that.

Put simply: That’s their sh*t.

I want you to read that phrase out loud, because it may be useful to you as a mantra for living in the city:

That’s their sh*t.

That’s their jail time,

that’s their ridiculously low life expectancy,

that’s their gaping bullet wound.

People are smart and adaptable creatures.

They know, almost instinctively, what is bad for them and what is good.

Anyone who wants to get away from the game surely can.

It’s as easy as going straight home and reading a book.

So perhaps this will bring you ease: Those people outside poppin’ caps?

They’re doing it because they want to.

It will catch up with them.

After all, that’s their sh*t. It’s not yours to mess with.
