The Real Game Behind The Game

"I didn't wanna be a slave; I wanted to own my masters."


Let me tell you what that line really means. When I wrote it, I wasn't just talking about publishing rights or business ownership. I was talking about something deeper - the power to own your narrative, control your destiny, and change the whole damn game.


See, most people think changing the game is about making more money or gaining more power. But that's playing the same game with different pieces. Real game change? That's about understanding what game you're really playing.


When I was in the streets, I thought I was playing the drug game. But that wasn't the real game. The real game was survival, respect, proving my worth. Every time I counted those stacks, every time I made another move, I was really trying to fill something deeper. I was playing a game of validation without even knowing it.


Here's what most people miss about changing the game:


1. The Mirror Moment

Before you can change any game, you gotta face that reflection. That person staring back at you? That's your biggest opponent and your only real ally. I learned this the hard way, sitting in that prison cell, looking at myself in that scratched plastic mirror.


2. Position is Everything

Your position right now might feel like a prison. That dead-end job, that toxic relationship, that mindset that keeps you stuck. But here's the thing about position - it's not about where you stand, it's about how you move.


3. Strategy Over Strength

The streets taught me that the strongest don't always win - the smartest do. The ones who can read the game, understand the players, and make moves that others don't see coming. That same principle applies whether you're selling books or building empires.


4. Protection is Priority

Success without protection is like carrying cash without a wallet - it's just a matter of time before you lose it. But protection isn't just about security systems and legal documents. It's about building sustainable systems that allow your success to breathe and grow while keeping it safe.


5. Legacy is the Ultimate Game

At the end of the day, the game you're changing isn't just yours. It belongs to everyone who'll follow the path you're creating. When I held my son, King Marcellus, I understood this on a whole new level. Everything I'd built, every game I'd changed, wasn't just about me anymore.


So let me ask you something:

What game are you really playing?

What position are you protecting that's really a prison?

What moves are you making that aren't serving your growth?


Because here's the truth - your story isn't what's holding you back. It's how you're playing the game. And once you understand that, once you really get what game you're playing, everything changes.


The game doesn't change until you do. And you don't change until you face yourself.


Your move.
