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. Id 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 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 dont worru bout that till you get hit by dat

cars they dont worry about getting caught till

person i dont think about getting caught till i
get caught The explosion of gangs in the last to
decades of the 20th century grew under a much
larger problem. The rise of a social under class
and americas failure to provide hope. The children
bored into a world of disitigrating family life
and grinding poverty. All though there small
successes with programs designed to create a
future for some of those children, no one came up
with a large scale program that delt effectedly,
with the forces of dispare and alienaion that
promted some many young americans to look for
their identity and theit self asteem in the world
of street gangs. (street gangs street gangs street
gangs street gangs)
