So all through my childhood the slogan was ride or die. These were the words that made pear pressure of the 70's look like child's play. Family has a big part to play in our decisions as adults and when we decide to cut the cord to everything we have learned or heard. Well we are made to wonder how Free is free. We flip the coin and make everyone around us swore they will ride or die. That whatever it is we want we will get because we don't want to go back to where our families left us. Thus the gangs where born and there was no turning back when the tribe mentality sets in.
The laws of the jungle demand loyalty, Family means loyalty...for most that is.
