I come from a place where everyone is looking at what you have,
and what you don’t have.
A place where people wish you nothing good but bad
I come from a place where it’s not easy to make friends
A place where people judge you
A place where nobody wants to see you succeed
A place where there is jealousy
A place where people make money by doing business
A place where you’re surrounded by criminals
A place where there are a few people who want to go school
A place where nobody wishes to live in
a place where you see a lot of bad things happen
A place where you are afraid to even take a walk
A place where even the police are corrupt
A place where 9 year-old kids know how to hold a gun
A place where girls turn into prostitutes,
A place where young boys become young gangsters
A place where mothers and fathers are praying for change
