1. Get out of Odenton (being a MD townee won't help get you a job) 2. Move to Baltimore (if you can handle it... it will make you more of the "man" you aim to be... or just make you very sad at lacking control over major societal issues reflected in a post-industrial city that has a history of major white flight due to demographic changes and racism. 3. Start rapping again or maybe not 4. Apply to college? There are many in Maryland... I suggest maybe not College Park for undergrad... it may be overwhelming... go cheap and put the effort in.... maybe 5. When in trouble... run monkey... RUN!
