Sreets Of Northern Cali Poem by leticia sanchez

gun shots, kids running babys crying moms yelling
in the house feeling lonely
can't go outside these streets to dangerous
nortenos surenos
wat is that......?
the streets of cali,
the nortenos territory
is hat right!
yup, surenos running nortenos chasing through the streets of cali
fighting for the barrrio
fighting for the respect
fighting for ur hommies
most important fighting for the familia
wat is this
gun shot wounds
people murindose
no puede ser the streets of cali
hard to walk on
dangerous to have fun in
dangerous to be outside
its all bad
but still living in these streets
never going to leave the streets of cali
never leaving
never having to stay shut in yor house
go out and breath
take the air of northern cali
dont be scared
dont forget,
the streets of cali
is where u live
your home
your entire life
for wat you live for everyday
the northern sreets of cali
