-This video is about a poor kid, from the lower class neighbourhoods, who needs money to help his mother and his family and is thinking about quitting school because the capitalist society tend to tell us that is all about money and that's not far from reality because without money you can´t do nothing. Then kerry james(the artist who wrote this song) begin to tell the kid about how is it to be like that, involved whit drugs and gangs earning fast money. In the beginning is all sweet when you rise up on the streets, make a name, meet contacts, climbing up to become a major criminal and drug dealer but all these attracts envy jealousy sometimes they kill for the money for respect and there ´s a stereotype of the young boys thinking that they know everything and saying no that's not going to happen to me. But when you live that way problems are around the corner and the police too, all the streets legends end the same way, in jail, in a sanatorium or in the cemetery. Meanwhile you have money friends all around you but in the time of need they all disappear none of them will help you and in that moment at the rock bottom you will envy those who doesn´t quit the school.

Damn! Must be one of the rawest videos I've seen in my life. A clear universal message that can be replied in every urban culture.

It is sad when you realize that lots of children may be making wrong life decisions, because of the lack of opportunities and poverty in which they are growing
