The inner city streets offer a lot of non-degreed skills.
A person can learn to push drugs or pills.
Burglary or carjacking for a thrill.
Robbing banks and convenience stores at will.
Or a person can follow the straight and narrow.
And get an education or a trade.
Then in life, that person will have it made.
