"Rise and Grind"

I woke up bright and early this morning and like many people I checked my Facebook. While looking on my newsfeed I started to see alot of my "friends" posting similar statuses that said "Rise and Grind! Time to blah blah blah.."(you get the point) I don't know why but the 1st thing that came to mind was who the hell do some of these people think they are???? Colombian drug lords? "Rise and Grind" sounds like a motto a drug king pin would say when he wakes up not a person who works a simple 9-5 in an office pushing paper or a Kinkos/ Cinnabun employee. I know many will say "Jeremy you're just knocking their hustle." STOP IT! Selling drugs to put something on the table to eat for your family is a hustle, pimping out a woman into having sex with a complete stranger for money is a hustle, a woman going from man to man sucking him dry of his money so that way she can survive is a hustle. So you doing data entry, flipping burgers, and answering phones is not a hustle....it's an occupation. There is no "Grind" in doing work like that and you know what, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I see now of days my generation and younger generation (80's babies and above) want to try so hard to be seen as a rapper. I know you're asking yourself what does "Grind" have to do with a rapper. Well I will tell you....How many rappers do you hear rapping about grindin this and grindin that? I mean the Clipse had a song named after it! Now in these songs they arent talkin bout grindin at a job getting paid 9.50 an hr while their douch bagger boss cuts their hrs people. They are talkin bout sellin crack to ya mamma just to pay for some new Jordans son!!!! Now thats grindin at its finest haha. But seriously that is grindin. So in mine and the newer generations minds thats cool because not only are you getting some Jordans but also gettin "street cred". Ya I know, a bunch of grade "A" morons. Now lets be honest here if you have a stable 9-5 job you aint selling crack to no ones mamma nor are you grindin, but yet you wanna live that life, you want street cred. So you do the "next best thing"....you simply you the phrase "Rise and Grind" and now you are 100% gangsta. You just got the Nobel Street Prize. Now you are a certified hustler on Facebook. Pffffttt A person is smart, people are dumb.
