I Bought It For You

"We cop new cars but we still ride tints, I just copped that Charger but I want that Bent, Is it funny to you, No it's funny to me
It's all for another motherfucker to see...So when you see me in it nigga know I bought it for you"

What is the value of a Gucci belt, Louboutin shoes, diesel jeans, and an LV shirt? Not the tag price, but what value does it give you directly wearing it?

Is it the media influence that forces you to stack up a couple months of checks just so you can't stunt for one night at your local club, and be photographed in a few Instagram post to create the illusion that your balling out of the gym, or is it something else. What valid reason do you have to show more responsibility to a socialite image than fiscal responsibility. If you can afford to maintain that lifestyle it's one thing, but if you're not even middle class (do we still have a middle class?) what does French, European, and Italian clothing really mean?

People will go out of their way to buy things they may not like or cant afford to impress people who normally wouldn't pay them any mind even if it was on sale. Living outside your means and a fictitious lifestyle is unattractive and childish.

When you look back at your life when you're 40, you have 4 kids, a 20 yr old model Benz, and still at that 12.25 telemarketing job what questions do you ask yourself? You spent 5-10 investing into an image and instead of your future and you have to look at your present and stomach that fact that's in a standstill. The only thing you have to look forward to is bonus incentives and that 1.5% yearly raise.

Don't be that old person that preys on the youth so you can brag about what you used to do, what you used to wear, and the people that you used to screw.
