My Neighborhood - Introduction

Here I am standing in front of a judge and a jury telling me I have to testify against my primo, like karma had caught up to me for something I did in my past. But this is how it is when you putting it down for my neighborhood. Most of my older homies had gone though this in a time in there life and now it is my turn.

Homie Robby - Introduction

Robby Lewis, he was born in Brigham City he was 13 years old, he was a great kid.
He was born November 24.1995 attending Adele C. Young Middle School in Brigham City. He likes to skateboard he was a smart kid he like school he like to draw he was really good at it. His height was a bout 4.5 feet. Most of the sports he did he was real good at them. We liked to chill a lot he was like a bro to me. I kept him out of trouble so he did not get in trouble with me or with his friends and if he did I will yell at him and not talk to him for a week.

Back Again - Introduction

I feel the cold breeze as I lay face down on the frozen floor. I got a knee on my back, legs, arms, and head. I struggle to try to stay free. I feel the cold metal handcuffs slide together on my wrist. I look to my left and my right. I see my homies on the floor all around me to. I’m lifted to my feet and pulled to the front of the seven eleven. I see the sirens; I feel the cold handcuffs biting at my wrist. I start to feel frozen cause my blue dickies shirt and pants are covered with snow. I could still smell the bud we were just blazing.

Let's Get Shot - Introduction

You ever see your life flash before your eye like in the movies? No? Well it’s true when your life is really on the line no matter the situation whether you putting it down for the hood or whatever if your life is really on the line than you might know what I’m talking about.

Unique Royalty - Introduction

I was always looking for something to do in my neighborhood. So one day that something came to me. When I was 9 I saw my brother speaking to a metal object while moving his hands in a rythmatic pattern. He sounded like Dr. Seuss to me, the way that he would rhyme to the metal object. So one day he was in his room watching TV, I came in and asked what’s that he was doing the other day. He had his music on when I asked him. Being distracted, he turned up his music and started to rhyme again. While ending his rhyme he told me to go ahead and rip it. And that’s were it all started.

Almost Close to Death - Introduction

Were you close to death at one point? Well at the age of 15 I almost died because I at a party with my primos. Me and my cousins, we were all kickin’ it and we were all drinking and getting high. It was like around 12:00 a.m. by way it was summer when this happened.

Pre School - Introduction

Who liked preschool? I did because I use to have fun and mess around because I was a little boy and just havin’ fun with my life and having fun with my cousins and friends. But pre-school was the best and first grade. But in preschool I got suspended and it was funny but at the same time it wasn’t because I was just a little kid messing around and getting into trouble. But why I got suspended was for putting tooth paste on the teachers chair and it was funny because I was a little kid and also I got suspended for was for fighting with the other little kids.

What I Learned - Introduction

Yeah we can make it! That’s what my team said. We were on the field with our soccer cleats of coarse with tons of emotions in our minds. We never thought about lose the game because we were the most popular team in the league with 27 points of 30, each game counts three points, we just needed 3 more points to get into the big party of the state which consist in represent our state. We all were so exited and yes our coach led us there.

I won’t forget that day in the bathrooms when my Capitan says we ready coach and he said wait let’s have a talk. I already told you guys how important is this game for all of us, we were waiting for this moment two years and right now is outside on the field you’ll decided if you want to take it or you want to let it go “he was crying” I can’t do nothing out there but I ‘m sure that you can, it is all in your feet, be proud of you, feel the blood in our hearts. He spoke to us with his heart and that was just the beginning.

When I Moved Out - Introduction

“Jessica, are you ready,” said Laura, my sister.

“Yes I only got one box to put in the truck.” I think to myself, today is the day I well be on my own just me and my sister no parents to tell us what to do.

We finish putting are stuff away and organized our apartment by this time its 7p.m. The phone rings, “ring, ring, ring,” it’s a Saturday night, I answer, “hello”, on the other line is marisela, my aunt,

“Hey girl let go to the club tonight I’ll be there to pick you and Laura up in an hour”, Marisela says.

When I was 13 - Introduction

When I was 13 I moved out to Utah. I’m from Mexico but I was raised in Oakland, California. I was really sad and mad when I had to move out here because I had to leave everything behind, like my friends that I was raised with. But I still keep in contact with them.

Summer Magic - Introduction

“Thump, thump. Thump, thump.” My heart still beats for Jeff, even 10 years later. I met Jeff in the summer of 1999. I had just graduated from high school and was working at Mill Hollow Summer Camp. The camp was situated high in the Uintah Mountains and I would be living there. It was the first time away from home. I was scared and excited at the same time - I was finally an adult, living on my own, and doing my own thing. There were 20 of us working as Cabin counselors, cooks, store keepers, and doing the entertainment for 250+ kids a week. We would become best friends and some of us would find the loves of our lives, like I did.

Sports

I like to play sports
Sports are fun
Sports are cool
If you don’t like sports
Then . . . .

Music

Music is my life
If I didn’t have music I would probly die?
To funk or to r&b
It doesn’t matter to me
Just something to bump
When you’re down in the dump.

Karma

Karma can be good
Karma can be bad
In the day time
Or at night
It doesn’t matter who you are
Karma will happen to you.

Straight Up

It is crazy how people can honestly put on a straight face and tell you one thing then switch up and do another they tell you their one person and in the end, they end up becoming what they once told you they would never be.
Its funny how they can look at you with a straight face and straight up lie, too you,
You thinking that he means every word that he says is true and that he means it.
When he hugs you it feels like something’s missing like the hug isn’t complete
Then later finding out that everything was a lie
It sucks knowing that I'm not the only female that you were talking too its funny how even your own friends told me too watch out because them knowing you had another on the side
It’s funny how you reacted when I told you if it was true you lied on that too Its crazy how a lot of people are out here living a lie its hard too hold a smile when you’re really hurting inside.
But little did you know “she fall for the players but plays the same games”

What is Death Like?

Death is when your loved ones must depart
Death is a sharp pain to the heart
Death is a feeling of permanent sadness and pain
Death is when your loved ones have forever gone away
Death is a call to heaven or hell
Death is eternal mansion or cell
Death never will go away
Death you’ll find in your ways
Death is not to be scared
Death is to be in engage

Embarrassed

My face went pink
I couldn’t breath
Light headed
Will he laugh at me
Or will he giggle with me
I guess we’ll see

At least it isn’t as bad a s last time...he he

Is it . . . You!

Some call us scavengers others predators a few say we are demons from hell; what we seek isn’t material possessions the fastest cars new fashion or jewelry that to us is worth as much as a breath of air comes and goes. What we seek is as noticeable as a book, some are wide open others are locked tight like vaults or safes we influence and control many of your actions, thoughts and feelings we have no specific form other than the ones you give us were the boss at your job, the annoying neighbor that turns up the tunes just a little to loud, were the kids the made Jr. high and high school a living hell were those fools who saw you wearing a color we didn’t like then beat you until you switched looking at the sky the inside of your eyelids then the ceiling of the hospital room were that drunk guy that hit your kid and the person who bailed him out a day later were that guy that slept with your girlfriend that smoke in your hand that bottle on the table that Glock 45. down your pants that dad or boyfriend that hit your mother that girl that gave you AIDS were everywhere you can avoid us but you cant escape us we’ll find you frame you lie to you steal from you put a hit on you get in your car and go somewhere with you. Now take a guess at who you think we are go on it’ll be quite the shocker when you find out…

Stuck in between the two

My heart is in two different places
Its hard too let you go
Me knowing that if I let you go I don’t know what I would be without you
But the other side wants too tell you that your not the only person im loving
I cant break sides because it just don’t feel right.
I still got love for you big love the fact remains that you will
Always be my baby.
I got you on my mind but its hard too let the other go
I wanna tell you its over and that im done thinkin of him
I want too really mean it and that im really trying too leave the other behind
I wanna tell you that im done playing games
And that im dedicated in making a change
But when I look in the mirror im still stuck on playing the same ‘ol games

What Is Love

Love what is love?
Is it like a box of chocolates?
Or better yet
Like the taste of strawberries.
Is love in something or in someone that,
Takes you breath a way
And makes your heart skip a beat
Or better yet
Is love an idea we put in our head that we
Think we are truly in love.
What is love?
I think I just like the idea of being in love
And being loved by someone.
Love is like the taste of sweet jolly rancher
Love is something you can’t see but you have
Faith \n the love of someone else.

The Sick Click

You can think that your click is the sickest, the real sick click is the one that keeps it the realist, the one’s who strictly keep it about trust, pride, loyalty, and respect, to not force people into the crew or gang but the one’s who are down and the one’s it can effect, you have to be down for whatever, smart, witty, and clever, don’t fake or put up a front and be a lame, but show pride in what you do and tell people your name, build your own type of fame, be loyal to your click, represent where your from and kick it with who you pick, the one’s you trust along with your click, don’t trust the one’s that will turn there back when down, to the one’s who have your back show all respect and don’t hate or clown, one love to those who have a sick click, and to that 801 sick click from that o-town.

Darkness

There is only one little star in the sky.
As beautiful as it is
It all vanishes.
When the darkened fog creeps around me
Fog no, not fog but smock, smock from guns.
Now I realize that I’m at war.
People are dyeing I can’t take it any more
It’s tearing me apart.
I am wishing for death so
I can see that single shining star once more

I'll be missing you

I’ll being missing you
Life aint always what it seems to be
I cant express what you mean to me cuz
Even though your gone, we still cousins
Just Can’t imagine all the pain I feel,
But its kinda hard with you and every one not around,
But in my heart is were I’ll keep you all close to me
Wish I could go back and see you all just one more time,
In my prayers you all are always there for me…

“I Miss you all, everyday”

The Dark Girl

In the distance
In the dark
There is a truthful
Choose star
She says life is hard
It is dandy like sweet frozen candy
Not ever day is a good day
Like the moon is not all was fool
Finding a new poet is like finding a wild
Flower like find a rare nova
So don’t think life is hard

Life Of Sin

It's Just A Matter Of Time
If Enemies Lay Me Down To Sleep
I Pray To The Lord My So He'll Keep
When I Die In This Life Of Hate
I Pray To The Lord My Soul He'll Take
In This Life Of Sin. Lord I Got A Question
Will You Fogive Me For My Sins If I Don't Regret 'em
Cuz Sometimes No Matter How Hard I Try, I Feel No Remorse
I Feel I Had To Do What I Had To Do
But Then Again Maybe It's Just The Old-E Numbin' The Pain

Stressful Life

As a little boy I grew
Up in a peaceful place my

Dad always told me anything
Is possible
and
Not every person has a good day

That week my mom died
And I cried and cried

Thinking of memories of her
Death
Man she really was a star to me

The Way You Make Me Feel

Tu eres la Niña que me asies resperar
Y sin Te I don’t know what I would do
You’re the one that makes me want to live
Tu eres mi princessa mi everything
I would give up anything to wake up by your side every day
And see your beautiful eyes
Kiss your lips with mine
I want to make you feel important
Give you everything anything you want diamonds todo para te
You got me talking like Niña Te amo
No girl
Has ever made me feel like this Te amo, Te quiero
You got me like????????
But the only thing I know is that
Que Te amo, Te amo, Te amo Niña Bonita
And the only thing I got to say to you is
“Will you be mine” “Priscilla”

THE WAY WE LIVE

FOR SOME OF US ITS HARD TO LIVE LIFE
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE
HAVE TO GO THROUGH JUST TO GET THROUGH
LIFE. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO FAIL JUST TO SUCCEED
ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT
BUT YOU KNOW THAT SHIT HAPPENS FOR A REASON
AND WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT
ARE BROUGHT BEFORE US.

LoOsInG LoVe

Loosing a love one is a tragedy but it happens each and every day.
It’s a feeling of pain that won’t go away.
We ask god why me?
Am I not good enough?
Is there someone else?
Tear fall dripping down my face.
A shocking pain running through my body.
Then I open my eyes hoping it’s just a dream.
If so please wake me up.
I can’t take it anymore.
Fist closed palms sweaty then it hits me.
This is all real this is really happening right now.
You just want to give up and give your life.
Then you think to yourself is it worth it?
Is this the end?
Am I really thinking about hurting all those people for my choices?
Be strong I say to myself.
I can do it.
(Here I am stronger then ever. No one can stop me now but myself)

Everyday is not a good day

Finding a new poet
Is like finding a wildflower
Choosing a superstar
In the dark night
Is like trying to find the moon
Truthfully
Everyday is not a good day

Your Name

I wrote your name
In the sky but the wind
Blew it away
I wrote your name in the
Sand but the waves washed
It away
I wrote your name in my
Heart and forever it will
Stay.

8 Words

I grew up
now I’m safe
At 99.9%
I fall with a shoe
I get dirty
Then I become Meanness to
Everybody that wears a shoe
I try to look up to a star
But all I see is
Death every time I fall.

The bestest best friend I ever had

We started as friends
Later we ended up being best friends we came together just like peanut butter and jelly with out you it seemed like something was missing you stuck by me even when I pushed you away you were always one call away when I needed someone to talk too,
You always knew when too say the right things at just the right time. Its crazy how feelings ended up starting everyday you used too wake up early just too come wake me up every morning just too get me up too go too school you always walked me too and from school me thinking that you just did it because you had nothing better too do later I never stopped too think you did it because you liked me until that night when I needed someone too talk too the most and you were the only one that was there that actually seemed too care. The first time you told me you loved me I took it as a joke until I started feeling the same feelings for you I knew I was starting too love you by the way I felt around you I got butterflies every time we hugged every time we spoke too each other
When I got random calls from you and not even having much, too talk about we would sit on the phone for hours talking about absolutely nothing I loved how your so much more different from most guys once you gave me your word you stuck too it.
And for that I love you much more…..

Risk

The risk in your lives
Is sometimes scared
And some days we are afraid
The risk in my life is intense
And never I am afraid
I met the death and I said stay away
I’d comeback from hell
And I came to the earth
This is my way
And never I’ll be scared!

Call to Wake

My person becomes heavy a force of gravity is taken upon me it is a sign that my body wishes the return of my soul the time of joyful play aloft must come to and end but my soul struggles against the force of my body’s demanding will as my soul parts with its companions it is winey, mad act the fact it must return, be contained yet again until later but as always before reuniting it give my body a welcome home gift…the alarm clock roars to life, indicating my presence is needed and that my slumber is over. As my eyes twitch and cry with agony from the light, I am displeased that I must rise my judgment of this tells me my brain is awake, as I come to my feet I’m shaky and light headed. It is a sign that even as I stand my soul wants to flee but I have control then I say. “Worry not later you will drift but here now you are needed that is why I have called you to wake”.

What I See

I wake in the morning and look at my alarm clock…
I see a new day
I turn on the lights and look at the mess that is my room…
I see responsibility ahead
I look at my phone….
I look at my wall full of pictures…
I see my past
I see friendships
I go into my bathroom and look at my messy hair…
I see myself before I become me
I look as my buss comes around the corner…
I see education coming my way
I look at denies…
I see a job
I look at the nerdy kid in school…
I see my future boss
I look at the house in which I live…
I see my home
I look my room as im getting ready for bed…
I see rest…

And it keeps goen on and on … vicious cycle you know

I Miss You

I miss you in the morning dear
when we laughed and played.
I miss will miss you all day .
There is a million of people
but there’s only one of you.
I miss you at night dear.
Even thou we would fight.
There is a million in the world
but there’s only one of you.

STRUGGLE

(Talk) Yeah we got to let them know that in this life we are struggling, we love our families and the homeboys, but we got to let them know, so listen to what we have to say.

(Rap chorus) One love to the family, in the OGD, don’t stress or cry, wipe that tear from your eye, keep your held high, things are wrong, you got to stay strong, life is rough, but you have to stay tough, life will get better, this wont last forever, one day, our hopes will come true, but for now, tu sabes, I love you.

(Rap verse) It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone, away from my fam, to my sisters, my mom and dad, but my love is shown, so to my familia, this ones to you, life is messed up but we live it anyway doing what we do, it’s getting real hectic every single day, I guess that gods way, so I get down and pray, and to the higher power I say, I know I did a crime, now paying the time, they’re tryin to hold me down, and all I got to say, is keep on tryin, my mouth will stay shut, so I guess I’m stuck, in the system, to my family my prayers are with them, and all want is them to be free, so I say amen, and get up off my knees, and that very same day, in my dreams, god said to thee, you only get one shot to put up a fight, and to do what’s right, living as a soldier, not looking over my shoulder, I will be home soon, to take care of everyone, who was there for me, and I say this with pride and respect, I love my family with all my heart, I started at the beginning and close to the end,

(Rap chorus) One love to the family, in the OGD, don’t stress or cry, wipe that tear from your eye, keep your held high, things are wrong, you got to stay strong, life is rough, but you have to stay tough, life will get better, this wont last forever, one day, our hopes will come true, but for now, tu sabes, I love you.

And I’m out.

Make love –not war

Make love –not war …….
Fight for the one you love
But not the one you love
Make love when it means something
Not when it loses its means

Hardest moments change to your strongest …..

Never judge your future by your past,
Let yesterday be a memory
And tomorrow a promise.
Let your hardest moments
Become your strongest moments.

Just One of Those Days

Its just one of those days when everything is all good
Ya…all good…
It’s just one of those days its about 69 degrees
The sun is shining
Lil kids riddin on their byciklitas
And its all good in my neighborhood
It just makes me want to get up and go go go
Its one of those days no one is dying so no one is crying
Shoes hanging from the telephone wires
Ya jaja just one of those days
Pretty women crossing the street street street
And theirs no better days then this one
Hell no kickin it in the porch with all the homie
Traviso, my brother Pewee, and Ese Lokito its one of those days…..

Amor

I hope you don’t mine but I would like to steal a moment of your time
All it toke is one look and I was hypnotized, mesmerized by your pretty smile and your Pretty eyes
And I would like to get together to get to know you a little better
I know some things you like and if you like me that’s cool
This gose out to the girl I love you know who you are
Mi princessa la mas bonita del mundo mi nina tu sabes que te quiero con todo mi Corazon I know you got a man but he aint no good he treats you not so good
You say you love him still but dose he mean doin good to you ?

But Im still here and if I was by your side you would get everything by my side
Ruby’s, Dimonds anything everthing
You want
Yo te amo te quiero and would do any thing to get my you side
Para Abrasarte, besarte todos los dias besaondo tu’s lendos labios
But I can keep on sayin how much te amo
Pero all that dosen’t real matter to me
If I don’t have you by my side
All that matters to me is your yes when I ask you
“well you go out with me nena”

Playing Sports

I like sports

No matter what I play
Like b-ball or other sports,
Don’t be lazy just do it

No lie it feels like I’m in the sky
I look up at the sky wondering how
High it is

Skateboarding

I like to skate.
It is my man thing.
I like make skates.
It is like the game.
I men it chill.

Morning

I woke up in the day.
Fell asleep at night
stung in the heart
like a bad memory.

Woke up in the
morning then woke up in the afternoon
fell asleep at night.
Then realized it was a bad memory!

Its Been So Long

Its been so long
since I seen your face
but it wont be long
Till I see your face
mistakes where made
between us two
am loosen it
or my mind
but I’ll keep it
so I wont loose you again.

The Breakup

We use to be in love
You said that you loved me
That you would never leave
Together forever
Once again back in that love thing
Fussing and fighting
Day and night
Now we are friends
And still act like were in love.
Did those feelings really go away?
Were we meant to be together?

Chronic Pain

I have pain in my head
I have pain in my neck
I have pain in my chest
I have pain in my shoulders
I have pain in my arms
I have pain in my hands
I have pain in my fingers
I have pain in my hips
I have pain in my thighs
I have pain in my knees
I have pain in my shines
I have pain in my ankles
I have pain in my feet
I have pain in my toes
