I'm Like Che Guevara With Bling On, I'm Complex
I never claimed to have wings on
Nigga I get my “by any means” on whenever there's a drought
Get your umbrellas out because, that's when I brainstorm.
What place does social conscience have to a hustler? There seems to be struggle that I confront from time to time, that to be a capitalist, essentially makes one NOT socially conscious. This is a very myopic view that misses the whole point of society. Society exists, primarily— and moreover instinctively – to protect the herd of humans that exist in its confines. With that said, the society must provide safety, stability and order; else it doesn’t serve its purpose.
Capitalism is order. Through capitalism, resources are doled out appropriately. More importantly, capitalism is the order of the modern world – the very ‘new world order’ that so many of the “socially conscious” fear – global markets have replaced empires. The most successful communist country of the day, China, has built itself into one of the major players in international business. In 2006, the watchword will be ‘commerce!’.
So, where does that leave my people; the least financially sophisticated group—as a group—that exists in this country? We had better think commerce quick, because while Adam Smith presupposed that a country’s true economic power lied in its labor force, our usefulness as laborers has come to an end. Countries like Mexico have ‘absolute advantages’ in this arena. Hell, Vicente Fox didn’t lie when he said that Mexicans do jobs that EVEN niggers wouldn’t do. As a matter of fact, he was just firing the first shot across the bow. Sort of an international, “What ‘chu gonna do now, nig-guh?!?”
So, my people, what are we going to do? Do we sit and fight with the Mexicans for the shitty jobs, or move forward? After all, it ain’t like the Mexicans want the jobs for good—oh, no. They are steadily climbing that ladder—next stop, “most favored minority status”. Then, when the socialists and the politicians no longer need us, what do we have to show for our “struggle” thus far?
We had better all get our financial “by any means” on, ‘cause the drought is coming. Earn, Hold, and Own. Earn your cash-hold on to it, such that payday is merely another day in the week, and own something this year. Then build on that. Instruct your children to do the same. Sacrifice for their educations. Sacrifice for your own education. Don’t live above your means, but strive beyond them. Self interest is in all our interests!
As Adam Smith wrote in Wealth of Nations:
Commerce ain’t evil, it is natural. We better stop treating it like a dirty word; else we’re in real trouble. For, we’ve a generation of “Kneeno Browns” (Kajuana 2005) who could have been Warren Buffet.

As Adam Smith wrote in Wealth of Nations:
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.
