I WANNA BE RICH

My lil mama fell for an internet scam. I tried to told her ain't no get rich quick in this life but a hard head makes a soft ass.You can't help but love her though, she always think she gonna bring home a big payday and I'll be glad I struggled with her. It reminded me of when I fell for a big scam too. I used to read those little local papers and in the classifieds I saw an ad that says they would pay me $5.00 for each envelope I stuffed. KA......CHING!!!!!!. I started envisioning the whole thing in my head. I would work like 17 hours a day monday through friday. Very little sleep, after all i could stuff maybe 1,000 envelopes a day. There was this girl I was in love with but she "saw me like a brother". Bet you won't think of me as a brother when I come through in a spaceship with some 20 inch rims on it BIATCCHHH!!! heh heh I'd dream of it all day while I slaved to save an extra $85 to send away to join. I was working out of this little temp agency at the time and they would send me on all kinds of jobs.One gig I used to like was dishwasher at this nice hotel.





It's amazing how much rich people waste food. There would be these big banquets at the hotel and they would bring carts back full of steaks with only 2 bites taken out of them, mashed potatoes untouched, scrimps still whole etc.....We would take the unopened sodas,chips etc and eat while we work, sometimes take home. I never fit in over there because I was a privileged kid (compared to them) who had just dropped out of college working with ex cons and degenerates who could not get real jobs and slept behind auto zone. Sometimes I would work in the front where you would take plates off the cart, scrape them into the trash then put them on the conveyor belt of the dishwasher. Other times I'd work on the end where you take the clean plates off and put them on the rack. This part kinda sucked cause the plates would be still hot and after a while your hands would be damned near burned off.

I know it sounds like a stupid job to you but I preferred it to some jobs I had where I dealt with rude customers and asshole managers.Anyway I saved the money and sent it off and continued dreaming. I even thought about hiring an assistant so I could get even more letters folded. I figured after 6 months of diligent service I would give him the connect like I was Nino Brown or something. I checked the mail everyday and on days where the suspense was killing me, I would call home and see if a big box had arrived for me.

One day not a box but a package arrived for me,odd. Why would they send me a package instead of the supplies? I opened the package and it said that I had taken the first step and if I sent more money I would get the stuff. I realized no matter how much I sent I would never receive any supplies, I'd been had. I was so brokenhearted, not only would I never get the girl I wanted so bad but I lost my ticket out of that minimum wage hell I was in. I was back to square one, it was like that TI video where the girl thinks shes with TI and living the good life and she wakes up and shes still behind a register. It's the saddest thing in the world to see a grown man misting up




I told a dude at work about this and he told me I was a damn fool. He said why would someone pay me $5 to stuff an envelope when they have a machine that could do it for 1 cent and never get tired? ummmm.....yeah I am stupid. As much as I wanted to scold my lil mama for not listening to me all I could do was embrace her cause I know how it felt. So....have you ever been scammed?
