life of a og

When you live out here in these streets,
you can't survive with just a bluff!
When someone pushes, you push back.
You show the enemy that you're tough!

You can't survive out here alone!
You'd be dead by noon tomorrow!
That's why we HOMIES stick together,
because this life is full of sorrow!

We're protectin' what is ours.
We make sure we have control!
We make the rules and regulations,
to prove our point, we sometimes rock and roll!

We HOMIES have a code
and each BRO knows they can depend-
That they'll never be out there alone,
or find themselves without a friend!

We party, fight, and drink together.
Sometimes we even die!
A dead BRO is not forgotten!
We live our CODE, "EYE for an EYE!"

So if one of our HOMIES is taken out,
someone else's HOMIE has got to pay!
When we show up in their hood,
they know someone's gonna die today!

We stand eye to eye and toe to toe,
guns drawn, for this is war!
We're not sure why this all started,
but that's the OATH we swore!

There's yellin', panic, bullets flyin',
someone YELLS! "LOOK WHAT WE DID!"
The wrong body's in the street
a BULLET killed a little KID!

ballad

Mexican King Corsi

Thank you for givin me some of that Cosi lovin
When I was feelin low & like I was nothin
Thanks for always looking on the bright side
And restoring my once broken pride
I hope we have a class together again
Because you truly are one of my good friends
No matter the distance, no matter the day
No matter the time, I’m only one phone call away
Next semester won’t be the same thing
With out Mike Corsi, My Mexican King
I hope you know I’m thankful for you
Because with out you, Mike Corsi, I don’t know what I’d do

Free verse

Dope

There once was a Mexican Pope
who was dealing Columbian dope.
When at last he was jailed
and all prayer had failed
he suspended his life from a rope.

Epitaph

SOMBRERO

The sombrero I wear it
On my head
So I don't get a heat stroke
The heat sometimes can be too much
The sombrero is nice and cool
It protects me from getting a heat stroke
The sombrero is a large Mexican hat
Made of leather with hand made designs
Lots of people think I am a local man
I tell than no
I am not a local man
I am not a Mexican
I am a foreigner
The sombrero makes me look so handsome
I love to wear it
I just feel like one of than

song written by:Ludacris
song title:Runaway Love



Yeah, and it go a little something *scratch* like this
[Mary J Blige]
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
[Ludacris]
Now little Lisa's only 9 years old
She's tryna figure out why the world is so cold
While she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama's on drugs gettin' high up in the kitchen
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night
Startin' with some laughs... usually ending in a fight
Sneakin' in her room when her mama's knocked out
Tryna have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her
Lisa's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back
[Mary J Blige]
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
[Ludacris]
Little Nicole is only 10 years old
She's steady tryna figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step-dad always wanna strike her
Yells and abuses leaves her with some bruises
Teachers ask questions she's makin' up excuses
Bleeding on the inside crying on the out
It's only one girl who really knows what she's about
Her name is little Stacey and they become friends
Promise that they'll always be tight till the end
Until one day little Stacey gets shot
A drive-by bullet went stray up on da block
Now Nicole's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back
[Mary J Blige]
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
[Ludacris]
Little Ericka is 11 years old
She's steady tryna figure out why the world is so cold
So she pops X to get rid of all the pain
Plus she's having sex with a boy who's sixteen
Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love
So there's no protection he's using no glove
Never thinkin' bout the conceqences of her actions
Livin' for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowin' her mama would blow it all out of proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Ericka's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back
[Mary J Blige]
Runaway Love, Runaway Love
Runaway Love, Runaway Love

Yeah, I can only imagine what you're going through, ladies
Sometimes I feel like running away myself
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes
And picture us running away together and
When we come back everything is gonna be OK
(whisper) Open your eyes.
