G

G is the name I used in the hood.
and I was involved in the drug world.
My tale is that of many underachieving
brothers in the hood. My story is without
hostility, I am not hear to sermonize it.
I still feel the naked brutality of the streets.
The scent of cocaine, money and women.
This is the raw reality of the drug world that
lurks beneath every city.
I was young, ambitious, and blessed. I spent
most of my life in the drug world. The homies have
gone to prison, overdosed or died in the streets
as a result of their chosen profession and/or lifestyle.
10 years ago, I escaped the life and the drugs to live
my life in peace and serenity. The sense of guilt I feel

for past wrongs allow me to purge myself here on this

page. I pray to become a decent example to my daughter

and my mother by using my God given potential to

become a socially constructive human being.
