What is an OG?

​What is an OG?
An OG is an original gangster. When I was growing up an OG was an older person living an illegal lifestyle for the survival of themselves and their family. 

A person can be an OG gang banger, OG pimp, OG drug dealer.  Statistically people living this life usually do not live long. They usually get killed between the age if 18 and 25. So to live past 30 can make someone an OG. Defying the odds makes someone an OG. Being a survivor makes someone an OG.  OG can also mean you have been in the life so long you were in it when it started or you were trained by someone that's been in the life since it first started. According to statistics black men get killed between the age of 18 and 25 so just being over 25 can make someone an OG. Being older than 40 means you really are an OG. All this to say orphan girl is a OG because she beat the odds.  She is still alive and didn't go down the path that most statistics say she should have gone down after growing up in the foster care system, being adopted and surviving multiple forms of abuse. She was not supposed to have the opportunities that she had. She was not supposed to be able to graduate high school or go to college. She was supposed to struggle with addiction and possibly have several children as an unmarried teen. This is why orphan girl can claim the the title OG. Just like the original gangsters that one would assume to be killed at an early age and were not, makes them an anomaly. Orphan girl is an anomaly.
