The Poetic Initiate of Los Angeles
the poetic initiate of
south locs
went to school
at cholo street
wit some firme-ass
chulas
who got away like the ashes from the fire,
ese
Then, this vavaso
in his red or green Chevrolet
bougt a home at eight percent variable
like his life
and his pinche dad took off to Mexico
doing the L.A. Migra favors
--damn he pays all the bills now--
se vende one used home
all decorated with a second floor, chale,
it's worth three beans and a cow now--
No se what's up with this apartment cold and
roach-infested
I got two girls pregnant--que no--
now I fit the stereotype
who's really the puppet, cabron?
