What The Gutter Took From Us

Now anyone that knows me, and anything about my Tryin Hard Under God campaign knows that I love positive people, and do my best to surround myself with them. Make sure you all check out my friend India EccentricAngel Bunch who is a poetic dynamo, and a fantastic author, with a wonderfully uplifting spirit, who shares her soul with the world! She's releasing her novel "What The Gutter Took From Us" and I am a fan of the book already, and have only read the excerpt!

This is a movement in effort to restore what was taken from us. Come out and support your Eccentric Angel on her new release. This release raises awareness and educates OUR youth on a harsh reality that calls for change. Be a part of the solution!!!

 WHAT THE GUTTER TOOK FROM US BOOK RELEASE PARTY

(Excerpt from the book)

{Who can take this lil 10 year old Kanata?}

We stay on the Westside of Chicago right off the ave in a 

three-bedroom apartment over the store; I’m glad we moved, 

because where we use to stay was really bad. Every night it 

was all kind ofshooting. Girls was always fighting over boys 

that didn’t care about neither one of them. You always saw 

the same girls walking up and down the street with their hair 

not combed, and too little clothes on thinking they are so 

cute. Now that was on a good day, because most of the time 

they would have on pajamas outside like nothing was even 

wrong with that. If I saw one more girl that was like 13 or 14 

with tracks hanging, and  glue in all the wrong places I was 

just  gone die. Ooooweee! and if I saw another girl with all 

kind of dumb colors in her head and a baby on their hip, I 

was gonna call the ghetto patrol myself! The colorful 

hairstyles wouldn’t have looked so bad if it was done right at 

least.  What made it so bad was you could tell somebody that 

didn’t know what they was doing did it, for them AND…with 

the wrong kind of hair, looking like a long fat fluffy wig. I got 

too tired of seeing dirty old men watching lil girl’s booties 

then have the nerve to say lil dirty old man stuff like “uhm 

uhm uhm.” On our old block you would always see wanna-

be-thugs with yellow tank tops on that use to be white.  

Standing in the same place all day and night calling they self 

selling drugs, but they never got nothing to show for it and 

you never saw them clean. Ooh I take that back, the only one 

you use to see clean was Maaaario ­­­­ -­Boom!  But the other 

ones, I bet they just use to wake up in the morning and go! 

now imagine how that smelled. One day one of the boys 

named Skully tried to talk to this girl that was going in the 

store, cause I told you they always in front of the same ole 

store; anyway He gone say “Hey lil Mama, let me get a 

number outcha.” She turned around and said “For the last 

three days I’ve walked past the store, you had those same 

clothes on.” Then she said “Now why would I want to give 

you my number?” Guess what he said; he gone say” lil Mama 

I’m grinding, these just my hustling clothes.”  I was thinking 

eeeewwwww, for three days though -Really!  I gotta look up 

what grind mean for real because grind gotta mean same 

dirty and nasty clothes on for three days. I can’t even repeat 

what he called her when she made it in the store. You know 

how I heard all of that? Because, I was sitting on the porch 

next door to the store. I was even listening to these girls 

argue. They had the same baby daddy, and to tell you the 

truth; I don’t think neither one of the babies was his. Where 

we stay now, it’s just how it was where we use to stay; 

errrrbody know me. People on the block be wanting me to sit 

on their porch and tell them all the juicy news. I gotta real 

good view, because we stay like four houses from the corner 

and my room is right in the front. Now you see why I’m so 

glad we moved, and we moved right in time for my birthday. 

Jamal said he’s gonna throw me a big party. Mama said she 

would, but I’m still waiting on the other nine parties she 

promised me… HA! I bet I won’t be holding my breath 

waiting on it, or I’ll pass out for sure. Mama never do stuff 

like that, Jamal always gotta do it.
