Define YOUR "Hood mentality"

Live life like everyone you know is dead so the only person out there is yourself.

Never pay first, then wait for product.
 
I was born and raised in Mexico City and I basically keep an eye on everyone, play it like chess, and never have too loud of a mouth. You have to be able to bea hustler in any situation because it gets tough and sometimes one has to do bad things, but not because they're bad people, but because they'rehungry.

There's too many things that living in the hood taught me, it was my life and still is.
 
to always be aware of everything... im always paranoid so im careful with everything
 
alot of things

Friends don't last forever no matter how long you known em

Don't trust anybody with your secrets

Always dress good if u want to get respect

Always wrap up

Stay focused and aware of your surroundings

Don't deal with BS people

Be aggressive in everything you do

Always stay clean (face,shoes, clothes etc)

Always match

Always smell good

Work hard so you don't stay in that environment

Keep things to yourself

Only care about yourself and family

Don't beef with people over little things

Don't get into illegal situations

Nobody will give you anything in life so you have to take it

Nobody cares about you but you

People come and go

Always save your money

could tell u a brooklyn dude for sure...

when you stay in the cut, you arent gonna be the topic of convo.
learn that when you get older they got people that you are gonna separate from. they might hate for that reason.... but let it ride. dont get ignorant towardsit.

always walk with a swagger. even when it seems like you could possibly get into somethin, walk with that swagger
dont let no one think they put fear in your heart.

ALWAYS think about progressing in life.... thats the most important thing... thinking about that all the time always made me double think doing somethin
 
I learned a lot
Don't put to much trust in friends
Keep ya head up and eyes open in all situations
Don't talk $%$* if u can't back it up
No face no case
1 mans wife is another mans +@@
Respect is earned not given
Keep ya self up to par
Deal with everybody how they call for it

-Never talk to police. They will never help you.

-Never use a real name at a function, but be sure your boys already got their own alias cuz showin' up with a squad of 5 Billys is not a good look.

-Always be koo and respectful to everyone. After meeting someone, they should always feel like you like them more than other people.

-When somethin' pop off, always be the first to swing.

I don't even know fam.

My @##^ was mad random.

Anybody could get it.

There was really no unity or code.

We just had a whole lot of diff circles.

But from experience I guess you can say that it is always best to be humble.

Stay with a humble attitude, dress humble when you in certain places,
and most def be humble in what you speak on.

Oh you just got a new bike?
That @%^^ gone.

Oh your pitbull just had 8 puppies?
You wake up in the morning with 2.

Only time the hood really came into use is when you had enemies.

- Do not make plans on moving out of your parents' house. As long as you're a "baller," even if you're nearly 30 years old, everything isalright.
- Don't "snitch" to the cops about a crime you witnessed, even if it can help get some hoodlums off the street to prevent them from committingthat offense again or committing any other offense. Your street cred is more important than the safety of your environment.
- Complain about one of your "baby mamas" not getting off your back about you not supporting your children, even though you really aren'tsupporting them.
- If you're in high school, you have to look cool by doing illegal things in school as well, just like when you're in the projects.

Do things like:
Smoke weed in the staircases.
Threaten someone by telling them they'll be getting "popped" after school for "talkin' all that smack" (make sure you pull yourphone out in front of their face when you make the call to let them know that you mean business).
If you just can't wait until after school, run into classrooms to fight the person who you're "beefing" with.
 
trust nobody.
either use drugs, or sell them.
keep to yourself.
money is power.
boys stay lurkin. x6
