The Retirement
The Retirement ( 3 of 3 )
When flipping weight like this
You better believe its a gamble
A smart gambler knows
Timing is everything
Hot streaks turn cold
And if you play long enough
The house always wins
Gotta know when to hop out
Call it quits
To stop before you get popped
Retire on top of your game
Before shit goes bad
Props are owed
Not many have the wizdom to do so
This hustle isnt a carreer
Gotta make that clear
Got involved to stack bread
Not grind it till your dead
But its not that easy
Got people that depend on you
There gonna continue to call
you can ignore your phone
but..
The idea of going back to hourly rates
A scary, boring thought - almost imposible way of living
Money has become one hell of an addiction
Use to touching more green paper than everyone else you know combined
The idea of having a direct deposite and never holding any real cash again
Transform from "Paid scumbag dealer", to a " Paycheck dependent working class citizen"
When you are ready to retire
A new phone with no contacts is your best bet to escape the grasp
You can leave your cliental behind
But the mindset and deep rooted fear
That has become part of everyday life lingers
Knowing that moves you made years back
Could come back and Bite ya
Mentally its much harder to retire from the game
You start to develope a new paranoya
The (Ive come this far , Its almost to good to be true)
Fear that it can all crumble any second of any day
It takes years to break the criminal mind
To make paranoia a thing of the past
To truly be out of the game at last
Years of responsible handeling of money aged you
You have developed into a successful man
Continue to take your time
Still in a "saving loot" state of mind
Learne to slowly endulge
Just cause you could buy the best,
Doesnt mean you should buy the best
If you start at the top
You peak to early
Give yourself room to advance
Think of it as a strategic preperation of future happiness
Always Greatful for all the Luck
And all the people who were involved
Reflect on the personal risks youve gone through
And all the rewards that you've experienced
Along your journey
Maintain your humbleness
Success and growth on several levels

Been there done that! Every word is oh so true! You were one of the smart ones - good for you! And talk about the money addiction - that is a habit hard to break. But money usually can't buy freedom...you broke free before it was too late!
