Where I'm From

MY HOODS & CiTiES
I am from prostitution, drug users, & drug dealers
On every street corner.
I am from party like a rock star, hangovers, but get what’s
Important done.
I am from yellow tulips n dha summer to dha
Dead roses in dha winter.
I am from going to church every Sunday to traveling
Across dha world for families reunions.
I am from a family of musicians && creators.
From KEEP YA HEAD UP my young American Princess
&& follow your dreams.!
I’m from boredom, rainy & cold days. Wilmington, North Carolina,
Fried chicken && collard greens.
From dha babies having babies,
struggling to take care of them.
Girls feeling unappreciated turning to older man && having
Abusive relationships.
I am from Trenton, Newark, New Jersey fast life,
Long Island, New York bright lights, Greensboro Highways,
& Baltimore lights, camera, action scene.
I am from where ever life takes me.!!
