Switch Up Poem by Fareez Phalez

From best friends to gangs
From school students to street thugs
From teachers to OG's
From imaginations to trippy drugs

From shedding tears to tattoo tears
From drinking Red Bull to sipping lean
From peace signs to throwing up gang signs
From sucking on lollipops to smoking green

From neighborhood to turf war
From playing toys to toting knives
From innocence to catching cases
From childhoods to thug lives
