Getting Out Of A Gang
It’s like saying, “getting away from your friends!” So the first thought
is always - It’s not going to be easy to do. Though the first part is
pretty obvious, you have to busy yourself with other activities - such
as working a job, or working on your music, and then when your old
friends call - don’t answer them or call them back. The truth is that
most normal kids will get the hint pretty quick - he’s busy with his
girl, or he’s always working now, or he’s really into going to the gym
now so he doesn’t hit me back anymore - oh well!
And then there are the kids that don’t get the hint. They will be the
ones that catch an attitude when they see you out - and glare at you.
Call you up and leave threatening messages like “You better call me back
when you get this - you dissed yesterday and I’m not letting you get
away with that again today!” And you should recognize pretty quick
that guys like that have ulterior motives for taking the most offense on
what you choose to do with your personal life.
So first, it’s real easy - if they call you, don’t call them back. And
if they start to get loud or threaten you, do not bitch out to pressure
from them. If you start to get nervous or scared and decide to do what
they say - that attitude is what will get you in trouble later! Cause
some kids will say that you are now their bitch. And since you are
nervous around them, you have to do everything they say. And if they
can get away with bossing you around - they can get away with anything!
So don’t ever call them back, and when you see them out, act real
positive and smile, and laugh off whatever they are saying, with
something like, “I know you’re not serious. You don’t really care about
all that! You probably got a million things to worry about!” And as you
are saying this, keep walking, hold out your hand as you pass and try
to give them dap.
And if they refuse, keep smiling and say, “That’s okay, you know I still
love you but I really got to get going. I have to get to work. You
know how it is!”
That’s how you don’t get caught in their tractor beam and get pulled
into their circle. Cause when that happens, they''ll just begin to pick
on you and talk shit until you nervously decide that you better hang
out with them to make up for all the disrespect you showed for dissing.
However, If you stay friendly and positive - and act like you don’t have
time to stand around and take their abuse, there is really nothing more
they can do - except give you an attitude. After all, you may really
be telling them the truth about all the stuff you have to do these days
instead of just hanging out. So keep moving when you see them!
The first couple of times may be the hardest but as soon as you set the
precedent that this is the way things are now, it gets easier every time
and they will give up the attitude.
Now let’s go over what the failures may look like. When they see their
old boys hanging out on the block they get nervous and think, “I better
go over and hang out with them for a minute to do what they want- cause
they look pretty pissed off.” Then when they do that, they stand there
getting tongue-tied and more and more uncomfortable as their old gang
ridicules them for having the nerve to diss them the other day. The
minutes turn into hours and pretty soon, the old gang sees that they
were not really serious about having to do other things.
They are just lying and making up excuses cause they are scared about
something. The ringleader may call him a bitch for trying to diss them
lately. And then, the next thing he may be thinking is he better do
something quick to impress the gang - so they will stop picking on him.
Then, before he knows it, he has to take a risk, or do something stupid
to prove he’s not a bitch. And
that is how so many good guys get arrested and stuck in jail. And that's
where the bad guys like you. Often times it’s a psychological thing; a
loser on the street is a bad guy who knows how to intimidate and put
pressure on other kids. Often times they may be older or more
experienced at mind games. They know how to influence other kids, who
are not so bad, to really screw things up for themselves so they wind up
in jail and kill their futures.
Once you get locked up, you often lose your girl cause your girl starts
dating someone else. You lose your job, you lose your apartment, and
when you finally get out - the same a**holes that helped get you locked
up are waiting for you. This time they have even worse plans, that may
get you shot, killed or stuck in a prison for the rest of your life.
This is how losers get guys with talent in trouble all the time. So
understand a big part of street life is psychological. You
have to be tough minded, not just physically tough. If you can get
pushed around mentally, you are not too strong at all!
That is the biggest problem with gangs: most times individuality suffers and the herd mentality takes over. It’s like being a part of any weird cult - where you have to shave your head and do whatever the cult demands. Cause it’s not about you and your freedom anymore - it’s only about the gang of weird people you joined.
