The **** Mentality
So when you got a Floyd Mayweather telling everyone he’s a silverback gorilla? Doesn’t he know the significance in white folks using that name? See **** is not the only name that was used. **** to me means ignorant, and I still don’t use it because to me it didn’t mean a color even though it was used like that.
But when I see high-profile athletes who have the power to guide young fighters watching, who feel they need the Bentleys and to throw money, it’s what I have to deal with to show I’m not ignorant. And that’s whether I’m with Ross Greenburg [HBO] or other business, I’m no silverback gorilla. To some that’s funny. Some think its good TV. But my mom always said there’s people that laugh with you, and those that laugh at you. My opinion? They laughing at you, dog.
A silverback gorilla is a powerful animal. You’re a n***a with money. And you’re crazy, but a silverback is dominant. So when you say silverback gorilla piss, dog you think that’s kosher? But it is that mentality. Floyd just don’t know his history. He’s blinded by the business thinking that makes you a man. My 17,000 square foot, 6 acre house in Delaware doesn’t make me. That’s not my God. I’m glad to have it, yes. But I don’t worship my cars, watch, clothes, or anything. When you get caught up in that it’s very hard to reprogram it back. http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/lif.../21967589.aspx
