  Where I come from 
   
  You’ll hear that Go-Go Blasting 
  People Dancing from the clubs to the trains 
  Fireworks in the Air from Sun up to Sun down 
  You can’t tell the difference between 
  Gunshots and fireworks it’s Crazy ! 
   
  Where I come from 
   
  Least to say it’s still lit 
  We eat our fried chicken with mambo sauce 
  On every bit of it 
  You’ll hear don’t forget to add the jumbo mixed tea! 
   
   Where I come from 
   
  You’ll hear chocolate city 
  But it has been invaded with whiteness 
  Walk down a block one side is rich 
  The other side is Poor 
  We’re still trying to Recover 
  From the drug war! 
   
  Ahhh, the nations capital. Full of opportunities and as well as culture.
  
  Every day when I wake up, I wake up to the smell of nice warm mambo sauce,
  reminding me of what I should eat for lunch. The sirens of police cars reminding me of
  all the chaos going on in our city. I love tasting pizza fo Italian kitchen on U street, oooii!
  Seeing crazy people at anacostia just makes me feel proud of the diversity within our
  city: internally and as well as racially. You guys should come visit sometime.But let’s get
  real now: when I was little, life was simple.Got up in the mornings to the sweet smell of
  mambo sauce, went to school, stayed in aftercare, and come back home. Everything
  was fine.
  I knew my city only got attention for being the nation’s capital, but that was alright; we
  already had our own culture. The process of howDC was built was maddening, but I’m
  not gonna get into that right now. Then came overpopulation. The inner-city was
  crowded and very overwhelming. Instead of worrying about what I would have mambo
  sauce with, I was now realizing how many people were inhabited in this city and even in
  this whole entire planet! For some reason, I just felt so worrisome with all these people,
  people walking down the streets, streets such as U street, 16th street and G and 7th
  street/s downtown where the wizards play. Overpopulation is a problem: a big problem.
  Let’s identify what can be done in order for the U.S. population/Global population to be
  more spread out, not forming genuine claustrophobia within my city, and as well as the
  whole entire U.S.: spread out. Thank you may you have a blessed day.
