What The Hood Taught Me
-check for that cold metal in his waist
-cars only drive slow to aim
-he loves me for those dollars
-eyes will tell the story
-justice is a blue moon
-funerals over graduations
-weed means I'm home
-innocence invites trouble
-no such thing as family
-nobody sees anything
-valued for the price of the night
-barbeques for lost ones
-henny while blasting sum
-emotions are optional
-tinted life deep red
-mixtapes at each corner
-gang signs are art
-graffiti is beauty

Damn!
Now if this piece doesn't paint a grim picture of the Hood, then I don't know what does. I feel you, arhenrry, as I've lived in Hood's myself through out the years. I'm lucky I've never succumbed to gangs (even though I had been propositioned a few times), drugs or violence. This deserves an "RL". . .peace. Devlin.
