Telling Phrase 15: "I try to ignore the lazy."

This statement is also made in song. Flo Rida includes this line in a song in which he sings about a really warped view of the world. This line amuses me because the song is all about going out and being a hard worker and earning food, but its clearly expressing that laziness is morally wrong while at the same time, he keeps repeating what he is doing for a living... namely being a drug lord. The lyrics to his song, "Gotta Eat," are all about taking the initiative to roll your own joints, and plant your own weed, rather than having other people do all the work for you. Seems like an awfully strange paradox to me.
