We’re all a bunch of golden million dollar babies.

from Frank Ocean – Frank Ocean's Open Letter on Tumblr on Rap Genius

Everyone is different and unique, but what ties us all together is the fact that every single one of us “have some problems… and we all can have something that we can relate to.”
According to Lil B, one of the “Secrets to Life” is to look at everybody as though they are “golden million dollar babies.” Lil B holds that we are all part of the same “class and generation” and because of this “we should stop being so hard on each other…. and start caring for each other.”

Lil B wants us to stop judging each other, but to carry on being ourselves and “doing you and being yourself 100,000%.” (yes, 100,000%!) Lil B wants us to have “real empathy for each other”, and a lot of people have empathy for Frank’s position.

After all, we’re all part of the same generation, “we’re all on this common vibe.” Life today should be “all peace. It’s saying, hey, you know what, you can hit me and I’m not hitting you back. And that takes a very big person to do that.” Lil B is right, life should be “all peace”, and in keeping with this ‘vibe’, Frank ought to be allowed to “do you and be yourself 100,000%” without people hitting out at him.
