Where I'm From
Written By: D. Collins 7/26/25
There were people screaming from rooftops.
And not a single response from New Orleans cops.
I do exactly what I do and say what I say.
That, right there, just happened like yesterday.
I feel for my people and what they lived through.
My Granny living her last days on top of a roof.
I don't do N'awlinz 'cause she's no longer there.
My intimate feelings for Granny is why I am here.
