Raised In That You Get It How You Live It Era — Funny Back In The Day Statement T-Shirt
However you live, that's how you get it.
"You Get It How You Live It" is the hustler's philosophy in one line: nobody hands it to you, so you get it the way you live. Look at your surroundings, see what tools you have, and use them.
The ones who wear it were raised where the circumstances didn't come with instructions. Broke or comfortable, everybody had to figure out their own way — and the era respected the figuring-out more than the starting point.
It matters because not everybody starts at the same finish line. This statement removes the judgment and keeps the results: however you live, that's how you get it.
Built for the resourceful — the ones who made a way out of whatever they had.
Wear it as proof of concept. The living is the getting.
