Long Branch Cal City

Where I’m from

Fiends walking around everywhere

Actin’ all dumb

Old heads on the block getting money

Loud noises that sound like a drum

But in all reality we know it’s a gun.

Being young on the block I seen a lot

From people getting robbed,

Beat up or even shot.

As a young boy in my time

Of course I thought it was cool,

Old heads told me don’t be like them

and go to school and don’t be a fool.

How can I do that if I look up to

them.  Seeing them with big chains

nice cars and a lot of money dressed

all well and never looking bummy.

Seeing all that made me think that

was life, until I seen one of my closest

home boy get hit with 25 to life.
