Ada
My block
My block name was Ada , all you smelled
Was weed,alcohol,And smoke, sometimes the grill
My block
Wasn’t that colorful you can see trash in the fields and
Yards , At night all you could hear was BOOMS the echo
My block
On my block we had a basketball rim I use to grab the ball and hoop for bread
My block
We had a restaurant on the end of the corner of
The next block and you could taste the food in the air
