He was born here
Discriminated and tattooed here
Imprisoned and released here
Fell in love, married and had his kids here
Became famous in his neighborhood.
Honored for walking the narrow line
Turning gangs into community
Finding jobs to support their families
Still cruising the avenues
With base sounds booming from their radios.
Only the best for his friends and automobiles.
Only the best for his friends and automobiles.
Earned respect as he created a legacy
Accepted as part of ethnic diversity
And to all who knew him
They saw royalty ...
A king in the barrio
by his queen
and crew.
and crew.
