I've Been Going Bananas Trying To Remember Who's Life Story #NipseyHussle Reminded ME OF... Based on a #BestSelling #Autobiography by outspoken #Activist #SonnyCarson now known as "#MwalamuImiriAbubadika, "#TheEducationOfSonnyCarson" The early life of an INCREDIBLY SMART & GIFTED #13YearOld #BlackMaleTeen who falls into a life of #Gangs and #PettyCrime. #SonnyCarson struggles to survive in #Brooklyn's toughest section. #Sonny received #HighHonors as the BEST STUDENT in his #JuniorHighSchool, & "transforms' into a HEAVILY INVOLVED '#TheLords' #GangBanger. He goes to #Prison for robbing a '#WhiteMan' to buy flowers for a friend #Killed in a #GangWar against their #Rival #Gang, The '#Tomahawks/#Hawks'. After Sonny is released from #Prison, he returns home to find his best girl hooked on #Drugs. He realizes that his life won't change unless he 'RISES ABOVE' the #Violence, #Crime, and unrest of his "Urban Neighborhood".

This is a scene from the movie Education of Sonny Carson. As a kid this was poetic and resonated with me in a way to never let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve anything and no matter what never give up. The 70’s and 80’s taught me many life lessons that I’m thankful for. #kaptainko #sonnycarson #brooklyn #originalbrooklyn #brownsville #tomahawks #jollystompers #realdeal #lifelessons #nevergiveup #dontquit #begreat #instavideo #reality #dreambig #aimhigh (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYyFBEgVMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1elichpf9qhmz
