Angelo don’t need no slack,
don’t dare cut him none.

He’s up there in your face,
with his bad family’s reputation
just running all over the place.

In this slummy hood
he’s found his niche,
and yeah,
he’s just that proud to be here.

Angelo seems to keep his back straight with his eyes wide open as he walks the streets of the hood---he is not ashamed of his clan. I enjoyed this revelation on Angelo's character.

Thanks Art,

For your kind comment on this poem. A person has to stick with the clan. It's always very important.
