why be from some where when you can be from nowhere,born in the City of
Angels,then left to the Hoosier capital.
My origins still follow my cousin believe i should be gangster,cholo ,or a crime syndicate leader.
why have origins even if i am still proud to be of the Angel City
,LA all the way.
Yes I'm a Chicano,Mexican,Beaner,& a speck & im proud of it ,always will.
but the ones that disprove all along make you wish you were never born.
These are my origins
& nothings gona change
