Many real life gangsters you'll see wearing the three dots tattooed on their hand or body somewhere. Some wear other images with 'three' incorporated into the art.
This is a reminder that their life will only take them 'three' places: Early grave, ICU, or Life sentence in prison...Sounds cool??
Not to the ones in the grave, not to the ones paralyzed by a bullet from the neck down, staring at a ceiling all their lives, not to the ones who will never get out of prison unless it's wearing a toe tag in a body bag.
Prison movies like Blood In Blood Out glamorize prison. But it's actually more like the movie 'American Me', only much worse.
Most gangsters and thugs are homosexuals in lockup, many rape other men and pimp them. Prison food is unsanitary and lacks nutrition while the chow hall often smells worse than a septic tank.
Forget adequate medical or dental care when you get injured or seriously ill. Sounds glamorous doesn't it?
Murder and rape is so common place in violent prisons that I've heard Vietnam vets say they'd rather go back to the Vietnam War than remain in prison.
If you accidentally kill some small child in a street shootout the convicts in lockup will label you a baby killer and your life is not going to be very glamorous in the pen, because people who harm children are not favored in lockup!
And all the girls who think gangstas and thugs are sexy, imagine your macho man laid up in a bunk with another man or switch hitting with the homies.
Not 'your' man? Well, in a gang he does what he's told sister! In the pen, all gangsters and thugs, though they deny it to their women, are pitching for the home team! And if they pitch they catch!
Either way they're still playing ball for the home team. And gangs use rape as both a physical and psychological weapon in prison. Do you ladies think your thug/gangster man is real macho when he rapes other men? Is that not homosexual activity he is engaging in?
So go ahead and live that gangsta/thug life 'homies'! It sounds so glamorous I can hear all the fools now saying sign me up!
Then after you get some street and prison credit you can break into the gangsta rap business and make millions off of fools buying your albums where you get to exaggerate about your hard core criminal life, while hiding the dirty secrets in the closet, until karma from your past actions come to collect. Then you still end up in one of those three places, maybe like Tupac and Biggie Smalls.
There are no such things as retired gangsters and retired thugs. The words of the song wasn't wrong when they sung that gangsters and thugs don't live that long!
Real men want to come home everyday to a 'woman' and a delicious meal, a home without sharing his room with another man, maybe some children who cheer when he returns home. Lots of love in his life.
That sounds a lot better than the three dots to me!
