Video Lifestyle

You can find me in the club. The other night I was invited to hang out and watch some Monday night football. When I drove into the spot. I saw rows of exotic automobiles with big rims and all sort of chrome parts. After I parked my Lexus/Uplander. I walked into the spot AKA Dave and Busters. The doorman checked my ID and saw I was a New Yorker. He shouted me out like I was a superstar. Walking in I'm like isn't this where I take my son to play video games. I'm telling you this place was transformed into a nightclub. Matter of fact it was like a music video. The guys were in there blinged out all with the latest kicks. The women. Oh my goodness it was crazy, the clothes they were wearing a lot of them were letting it all out. If I had my video camera I could definitely sell the footage. In my mind i was like damn I'm in a music video. It was like an amateur audition. Call me naive in my older age. But what is it all about. Why when we go out do we emulate the video lifestyle. Why are we so caught up in it. Don't people realize that these rappers have money. And even if they don't the record company is fronting them the money to produce it. Don't get me wrong there is nothing with wanting nice stuff but why are we in debt trying to obtain it. I've lived in the hood and worked in the hood and I see first hand the madness. Why are we driving a 90 grand Benz and living in a apartment sleeping on a mattress on top of milk crates. Wearing 20 grand around your neck living at your mommas house. How far are we willing to pimp ourselves in order to live this lifestyle. What do we gain debt. Bad credit. We need more people making videos about stocks and bonds, real estate and other areas where we can accumulate wealth. Cars and chains have no return on the investment. Before I'm out look around and see where some of these rappers are now. Who is still living the video lifestyle and who is dead BROKE...............
