"Whatever you say Anissa, you ain't nothing but a luh white girl in the hood." He said making almost everybody laugh and point at me. Nothing I ain't used to by now, these motherfuckas been laughing at me ever since freshman year. "And you ain't nothing but a lul wanna be ass thug." I said with some sass and attitude. He ain't finna keep talking to me any kind of way, him or these motherfuckas around this bitch. I keep telling these people that my daddy black but they said what does that change...shit it changes a lot I ain't just white I'm black too.

My dad was a drug lord, biggest drug lord there was. His name was Carlos Cortez but in the streets they called him Lucien, why? I don't know and I don't care. My dad kept me away from everything that he did in the streets, he even changed my name just so people wouldn't find out who I really am. My dad was always there for me, him, my mother Tasha and my brother Malcom but that changed when I turned 12, then it changed again when I turned 15. They say it's in my blood, they say it runs through the Cortez family but I'm not so sure about that. I was born a Cortez and I can't do the shit that Cortez's do. I guess I'm just not cut out to be a Cortez.
