LA gang wars
Gangs are something
You don’t hear much talk
About when you live in a
Town like me. You like
To think they’re not real in a
Way. But you know they are
And they still exist in
A big way in the big cities.
I watched a special
Tonight all about the big name
Gangs in LA from the 70’s it was very
Sad in way. To watch those men
Talk about how they thought being in a gang
Was the right life to live how
They thought it was their only
Way to survive in life.
They considered it
To be a 9 to 5 job
Doing a drive by
Was as easy as
Eating a piece of pie
. Hustling drugs
Was an easy way to make
Money it was the
Answer to everything or so it
Seemed when it turned out
Just to be a real bad nightmare.
They soon learned it’s better
To earn a living for the things
You want in life and that you’re
Mostly likely
To live a lot
Longer if you
Work for something
Instead of hustling
