wanting to be great


just a boy from a small city with big dreams

my city made me who i am learning about life, friendships, love

Santa Ana, the heart of orange county and  place no one ever looks to stop

living here i saw many things go down from good to bad

i learned that if i want to do something, i got work my butt off for it

nothing in life is handed to you

santa ana taught me one of the most valuable lesson i can think of

never judge a book by its cover

just becuase santa ana gets a bad rap

doesnt mean anything good from it

im going to be that success story

when i say im from santa ana

it isnt going to be seen as a bad thing
