Where
I Am From
I am from African Ancestors
I am from
I am from north philly.
I am from the hood
Also known as the ghetto
I am from “say your prayers”
From “ yo shorty’s”
From “wassup
dogs”
From “who was fighting”
From “who got shot”
From “who you think you
talking to”
I am from fried chicken
From cornbread
From collard greens
From string beans
From rice and gravy
I am from Bar-B-Q’s
From Birthdays
From Christmas
From Thanksgivings
From Graduations all with
family.
I am from a hip-hop
generation
From rappers as rolemodels
From wanna
be thugs
From hustlas
on every other corner
From violence and gun murder.
I know where im from but don’t know where im
going
