Circumstance (Gangs-LV) pt 2

You are born, grow up let's say you're 13, you live in tha hood.
You must be hard, act insensitive, stay protective and always alert for danger.
Because of the hood there will be drugs, gangs and violence.
So since you were born you have no chance because you cant escape tha gangs and tha dope plus beatin the shit out of each other...You show a weakness and you will be beaten by everyone else in tha hood,
if you live there you must represent it even if you don't want to.
You get older and start committing crimes, all kinds. You're gonna say Fuck school!
 Because you are actually in love with the streets you grew up in. You actually become hostile, alert and insensitive, you don't have to try anymore. The duty is to protect your streets and mark the teritory by graffiti.
If someone from another hood is in yours...big trouble.
No one gives a fuck about another dickhead just for your gang broth'a.
A former friend of mine was always straped, ended up caping this guy he always was the neighbourhood terror, but he was our pride, now doing 25 to life. Now the only question left is I wonder maybe if the hood didnt take us under? Nomather what protect you flag and that's what he did and im proud, but I always wonder was it worth it? Lucky for me I escaped the hood life few years ago. I was mesmerised ask anyone who knows me.
Respect out there to my bro'thas. This text is just a reality check of a gang mentality.
I must repeat, maybe if the hood didn't take us under?
