If asked to name codes of the streets that for decade’s minorities have been following in their neighborhoods, the average person would say “No snitching, loyalty and ride for what you believe in.” Ask the same question to a police officer that is trained to work in our communities, protecting the people they would say “No snitching, and hate cops.” It is a sad fact: Most people that get into the streets as a way to survive, making fast money, know little of what they are getting into. And police officers know very little about the people that they are dealing with on a daily basis.
God has built certain laws into his universe, our world. And these laws are not respected by man. Too often wrongly motivated people harness the right laws for the wrong purpose. While rightly motivated people assume that sincerity and diligence are sufficient for success. Therefore our society doesn’t get the right results for the right purpose because they aren’t harnessing the right laws. In turn those born in poverty and live with the struggle had to create their own laws and codes to survive. So I want to discuss these codes that are absolute in this world. In the street following them will assure one tremendous growth in life. Out here you either use them and find them working for you, or you will ignore them and find them working against you.
Due to the pioneers of the streets “The old heads” either are in prison serving major time, retired from the game, or dead, there isn’t any guidance to teach these codes of the streets to those individuals jumping into this game. There is not anyone to teach how to maneuver through the streets and to explain that we all are in this struggle together so hating on someone in your same situation is just energy going to waste. But most important, this game is not a career but a stepping stone to help one quickly get over the hump.
As so many people continue to live in poverty, life continuously gets overwhelming. Poverty creates ignorance, and ignorance creates hates, both are compounds by the skewed but powerful impression of the streets from the media where the negative image often outweighs the positive. Consequently some individuals accept the negative images surrounding them, especially in the media. But the image produces by these outsiders have been filtered through racial misconception and fantasizes of the dominant society, which has tended to deny the still going on struggles of those in poverty, leaving those people wanting more.
There is an undeniable need to educate those individuals that choose the life of the streets over school. We often are quick in forming desires which often take directions, conflicting with one another leading to the carnage we see every day in the streets which all extend from a lack of understanding and guidance in this game we play.
Books and Hip-hop today constantly speaking about life in the streets are the best resources for educating us coming up in this game because of the lessons that is being conveyed by the artist, but often the messages are mentally tangled up and create confusion because there is not any one there to break the main objective of the message down. When you do not have that guidance, that assistance, the things you hear and read sometimes go over your head and whatever you think the message is that’s what it is. But throughout the wars going on in everyday life trying to make on the streets, you have those individuals that have made it and come back to talk to us through their work, explaining their stories of pain, struggle and success. Artists such as; Jay-Z, Beanie Segal, Styles P, Master P. T.I., Jadakiss, 50 cent, Piewee Kirkland, Paul King, Dariel Shular, Judge Mattis, Eve, John Streets, Bernard Hopkins and the list goes on. Politicians, Boxers, Judges, Artists, Writers and Corporate 500 CEO’s, all of these individuals are great thinkers that succeeded in their fields off the same drive that we all share coming from the streets.
As much as so many people will hate to hear this, understand it is a reality; this game is something that will be around as long as families are living in poverty. Nobody wants to take this road, but in reality there will never be enough jobs to hire everybody in this world. It’s a sad fact that those living in the struggle suffering, turned into a billion dollar industry for so many in this world. How is it that other people’s pain and suffering creates jobs for so many people such as: judges, lawyers, police officers, correctional officers, clothing companies and the music industry etc. So in actual all reality these individuals support the streets because without those choosing the streets and falling because of the delusion, the employment rate would be higher than 9.8. And nobody really wants that. Now if we educate those in the street on survival, and success imagine how they would feel?
Here we have “The 10th Code”. The collection of street codes presented by Rainie Williams offering a panorama of codes that should be followed, and used to grow while in the streets, if one chooses to take that route. In offering the opportunity to broaden one’s knowledge beyond the standard presentation of the street codes like “No Snitching” and “Loyalty”. The 10th codes is a valuable resource for people of all foundations to get an understanding of how to survive in this eccentric world we call the streets. Not to create better criminals, but better thinkers. Some of the names mentioned will be familiar to the reader, most of them confined to a small circle of people who have not been described in other biographical or hood historical work.
In conclusion, the greatness of the streets is that, despite physical oppression and psychological assaults, many still manage to create a way out of nothing when their goals seem unreachable.
