To the adult world the casual violonce of gang life was horrifing
But in the distorted world of gangs risking death by getting shot was one sure way of winning a gangs respect
I was shot when I was 15 or 16
(shots fired in the area gang fight in the parking lot)
When my longs collapsed uhm.. the the 22 is still lodge in my chest to dis day
See getting shot and livin was more for my ego it was more for my image
I could now I could walk around like supeman. I'd been shot I'm you know I'm I'm the great I am now in my chest at that?
They show off their scars the way war veterans display purple hearts.
I got shot in the heart and um...
These are other scars that Ive had from other neighborhood fightings and doesnt't stop
Do you get used to death? Do you get used to the fact that you could die anyday?( Do you get used to it?)
See i don't worru bout that till you get hit by dat bullet, see like that's just like when people steal cars they don't worry about getting caught till they get caught right? Same when we shooting at a person i don't think about getting caught till i get caught
