The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion; anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. it's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what i mean? it's about reality and life.

The big difference between a warrior and a victim is that the victim represses and the warrior refrains. victims repress because they are afraid to show the emotions, afraid to say what they want to say. to refrain is not the same thing as repression. to refrain is to hold the emotions and to express them in the right moment, not before, not later. that is why warriors are impeccable.
