Is a life of crime really worth it? Is it really worth killing someone to make a name for yourself in the music industry and to sell rap albums? Some people believe killing someone gives them strikes and respect. That’s certainly not the case. How could someone go until someone and expect to be honored and respected and not criminal liability or even fathom the thought of escaping the day of Pentecost in eternal judgment of the soul?
Living a wild life requires the wild to pay the piper in the end.
