I Am From Where??


I Am From Where a single mother have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet

I Am From Where you hear gun shot very night

I Am From Where people bring each other down  just to make it 

I Am From Where more gang banger then chidren in school.

 

I Am From Where parks surrounded by drug dealers and homeless

I Am From Where 3 Corner street are death trap 

I Am From Where a gun solves all the problems

I Am From Where money is the rule of all evil 

 

I Am From Where kids aint make it to high school

I Am From Where kids have dreams of playing in peace 

I Am From Where the police scared of the people 

I Am From Where murder rates higher than the graduation rates
