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.
