I remember a rhyme the rapper Scarface said on The Fix album: "Ya family is your backbone your friends ain't sh*t". He said that to drill in the point that even if you don't have all the money in world or all the possessions you think you must have to feel rich, you still have the love of family.
Some family members, I'm sure you've heard the stories or has had their run in with crooked cousins and sorry a** aunts and uncles & biological parents. But for those who have your back, and are there for you always, you must be thankful and appreciative for having these people in your life.
I never had a silver spoon in my mouth growing up, but I have a mother, grandmother, three uncles and cousins (shout out to cousin Rose, Courtney, Deon, Kenny & Joel LOL) that were there in certain points in my life when I needed them most. I owe them the world in my eyes for some of what they've sacrificed for my siblings and I, but until then, all I can give them is a thank you.
During the holidays here, I didn't get mad gifts, but we had much love back then. Everyone of us used to go to the county fair here during those early years as one big family. Over the years it has wained, but the love and care we have for each other still remains.
In the end, no matter how many friends and associates you come across in life, those who are truly family will be there for you.

I am so COOL...COOL...COOL
Swagger...bravado...machismo. What do these words equal: Confidence.
Lacking confidence to me is to walk around with no balls. A man, or anybody rather, must be confident in everything they want to accomplish or else they will never get anywhere. You may have some bumps in the road, and a few slip ups here and there, but you keep on pushing no matter what.
You can never be a great leader if you are always second guessing yourself. If you constantly dwell on a problem from the past, then you will never see a brighter day. You will always remain in a particular limbo, forever a loser that will never learn to grow from each mishap. Those mistakes are meant to make you stronger, tougher and smarter than before, so embrace the mistake and keep it moving.
To constantly kick yourself is a sin in some circles, so for your mind, body and spirit, uplift yourself. Give yourself words of encouragement. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are the baddest mutha f*cka on the planet even if you are 5' 2"! If you are a guy, walk like you have a d*ck the size Seabiscuit. If you are a woman, then walk like your crotch can spin gold every time your period is on. And if you feel like a person who is trapped in another sexes body, well be the coolest whatever you are you can be!
For a while I lost my swag due to some set backs, but I constantly pep myself up. I constantly tell myself things over and over in a chant almost to push myself forward through these tough times. I am the eternal optimist and the world can eat a d*ck for all I care because you can't stop a man that has seen hell and back! You can't scare a man that was supposed to have died at least three times. You can't stop a man that was once considered a loser. You can't stop this freight train coming at you at bullet speed, so all you f*cks better run and hide. Fathers, lock up your daughters, husbands tuck your wives behind you and everyone else just hand cuff your broad because I'm back. Ready to kick a**, take names and piss on graves! Woo Ha!
If you're looking baby, I'm right here! Now let the games begin ::::}-D
