THE HOOD SCHOLAR

I read this poem and Ioved its content. Its length is short; however, I believe you will like it.

Yea, you.

Ambition Over Adversity

Take one's adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in something
Believe in yourself
Turn adversity into ambition
Now blossom into wealth

I love 2Pac for his force of spirit. His spirit was like a rubber band pulled to the point of breaking. Yet,it never broke. It just sprung him into a level of unparalleled success. Although he didn't have the educational background in business to harness that force in terms of monetary accumulation. He was able to create music that articulated reasons why a hood dude could be proud to be from the hood.

With no long term childhood friends acknowledged -beside Jada Pinkett Smith- as he moved from town to town; as all he had was his crack addicted mother. He had no choice but to become what he was to become. An dark immortalized poet. That was definitely commercialized way too much. However, still immortalized.

RIP 2Pac "The Hood Scholar"
