And yes, I'm talking about those fake ass gangsta in the suburbs. Even if you live in the city, you can go to the library. Being poor does not mean you have to be fucking stupid. Malcom X, was born poor, and that dude was smart as the people who went to High School and College. And hell, that was in the damn 1940's and 50's when this shit was FAR more less tolerating and racist.
Making up excuses does not keep you from achieving potential.
