i see how you grown
from once a little girl
to adolescences
now caught up
in its daily pressures
and frustrations
your friends new affilations
entering in a gang transformation
no longer playing with dolls
but now with knifes
and semi automatics
thinking they run the streets
constantly causing panic
beating rivals onto
the cold concrete
bleeding from multiple gunshots
that's just another day
in the life of a chola
stories of 10 year olds
jumped into la vida
now stuck with their new familia
sporting their rags
now into the street drugs
parties don't stop
multiple sex partners
this is the life of a young mexican
girl trying to survive in this modern
societies have noway out of reality
still stuck in the gang psychology
slowly corrupting their life as time turns
no longer interested in education
drop out early most becoming mothers
by the age of thirteen
rubbing off their habits
into their own children
some don't even make it to fifteen
gun-down by brutal ways
their sisters enraged by revenge
the bloody cycle never ends
being a young girl is defiantly hard
but that's the price you pay
for letting yourself slip into a gang
to the little ones out there
know this it is your own free will
and yours alone
do not let someone else tell you
what to do
do not walk down this route
of never-ending pain and regret
be somebody special in life
instead shot dead too early
before your time
know that someone out there
really does care
