“beef amongst our peoples”
|
“Last week when South Side came mistaking us for their rivals, my life slowed down almost as if it was paused. But life does not go on pause. This shit is not a video game and there are no restarts. I was scared shitless when I saw the chrome .45 pointed at my face two feet away from me.
“I wanted to be down, represent who or where I come from, but I just couldn’t do it the way so many of my homies were doing it...” Read “No Soy Cholo” by Jake Teran. |
