If I Could Change My Community

By Pricilla Anani Banuelos

If I could change my community I would

stop the bad people if I could.

Make them know it’s not the hood to shoot!

Oh shoot oh my there’s smoke in the sky~

Some people try to live the life~

It’s not all about the money, the drugs, the guns,

Los bocinas que cantans corridos ~ NOPE!

That’s the reason why we moved from Patton Street!

My life was like a roller coaster

with its ups and downs & the people by your side!

(Which you’re hoping they don’t throw up!)

My brother and I leaving with our baseball cleats,

and my audio beats.

If I could stop the bad people…

I WOULD!
