“You might think of the most dominant ideology; Thug life is a phrase these 'gangsters','hoodlums', and 'thugs' in the streets use to represent their lifestyle and their struggle. While some people do address this phrase this way, It is not accurate. Thug life is an acronym popularized by the Legendary rapper Tupac (2pac) Amaru Shakur, which means The Hate U Give Little Infants Fuícks Everybody. Meaning that depending on what you feed your seeds, the outcome for that generation/society will vary. If you teach a child to hate, the hate will flashback to the society she/he always will contribute. If you teach a child to love, the love will positively benefit with the society they contribute with. It all begins with out little ones, they are the future of us after all. Be careful what you preach, learn the real meanings before you speak.”
