Seeing the best in your city

I am from abandoned buildings being rebuilt, and streets filled with cars

Those ¨Rachett girls¨  singing and dancing to loud music

I am from gangs constantly at war and old men standing by the liquor stores staring as you walk by

The kids playing at skate parks after school and tagging buildings at the end of the night

Burgular bars on windows trying to keep everything out and shoes on power lines after they´ve been worn out

I am from going to sleep to the screams of sirens as the sun sets for the night

Kids playing football and basketball in the streets as cars race by

The sounds of our feet and screams as the food cart guy waits for us to buy or dancing to the music of the ice cream truck as it zooms by

The overflowing dressers and shoes by the bed

The newly painted purple walls and pictures above my head

The candles on my dresser as i watch the flames light up my eyes

The glass tables as we wipe away the finger prints stuck on the other side, the mirrors in the hallway to make sure that you look fine

The trampoline in the backyard as we jump to reach the sky

I am from those tagged buildings with art that is one of a kind

The music that’s created as the emergency responders roll by

Cheering on my dad at his basketball games every Friday night,The vacations every summer,and parties all the time

I am from F*** the ops they never stop ending innocent lives

I am from family first,loyalty,and living life with no regrets
