Where are the real Gangstas?

I am affiliated with and related to people some call criminals hoodlums low-lifes etc. though I dont consider myself a Gangster I have been in some pretty wild and dangerous situations(gunplay) but Im different than my peers in that I graduated high school and consider myself very articulate.... I live in D.C in a "bad"neighborhood and would like to inform yall that the THUG LIFE is a very real one and all young blacks arent faking it
