Valley of the Sun A.K.A Phoenix
Valley of the Sun A.K.A Phoenix
by Thomasina Yazzie
It’s a place full of life
not stranded out of nowhere
people say its hot but I guess what it’s not
it’s part of a desert in AZ
No body cares what you think
their true friends that won’t say B.S.
they understood and never disrespected
people who did disrespect would get beat down
A lot of famous people came out of here
Nasty Boy record label is there every day with MC Magic as CEO of the place
He created so many people to be famous
he made my uncle’s dream to be a rapper be true by
being part of a group called MOB FAM
Being raised on 51st ave of Mary vale on Bell-air manor yeah lot 28
is where I grew up
went to school at Andalucia middle and primary but is now called James W. Rice
