Boy Willie

It seems like Boy Willie is a person who has had to work hard for everything he’s ever gotten. He’s had to take on many odd jobs to support himself, and never had much stability in his life. He’s been mistreated all his life, after growing up poor in a slave family, he and Lymon were imprisoned for taking some wood for themselves. After which Lymon was sold in to a sort of legalized slavery. I think “Hustlaz Ambition” by Young Jeezy fits him perfectly. This song is basically about working hard for everything you get and not having anything come easy. “Ain’t nobody gave a shit and that’s why we grind weight.” Boy Willie is all alone now; he has to look out for himself. When I read that Boy Willie is trying to make a three part payment to Sutter for his land, I thought about this song, and how it fits perfectly for Boy Willie’s life.
