Is a poem referring to the ghetto..


Living in this community

In which one day I might die

My hood is your hood

And your hood is mine.

Seeing gun shot smoke in sky

Bodies all over the place

Yellow police tape surrounding us

And the innocent confused face

I walk the streets everyday

Hoping all of this will stop

But this is where I live

And a cop will be a cop

Living in this community

In which one day I might die

My hood is your hood

And your hood is mine.
