Where I'm from

I am from the sweets of funnel cake  The silence of Woodlawn  During a rainy day The lights of Chinatown  How bright and alluring  I’m from the cream of elotes  Subsidies the spice of the pain and grief  Schools that break me down, force me into my seat NO!  I don't want to be forced  I am as slick as a noodle  Slip and slide through the bad  I am from Rogers Park  3- times the house has been broken in 2-birthdays that ended in misery 1- the chance to change it all  And I did  That's where I'm from
