east Los Angeles
East LA is where Mexicans live, and they’re not happy about it. It’s also where the Brown Berets started, and they didn’t take no mess from no one.
My abuela says East LA is like Harlem but for Mexicans, and she still cries when she hears the word ‘Harlem’.
My cousin joined the Brown Berets and now he thinks he’s a revolutionary, even though he still steals candy from little kids.
My brother says East LA is where the lowrider was born, but he’s just mad because his car is broken and he can’t ride it no more.
