UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Their mind control
They steal your soul

Look what you do

Used to watch them film/skate the banks at Los Feliz Elementary with my brother and his buddy Philip (Show) in 1991-92. Me and my friends used to skate there and Lockwood all the time — back when Gangsters would ask you to see your board for a second “to do an ollie” and jack you. Skate and/or die.

“Every city has its own gang history, part of Chicago’s are Gang cards, most prominent in the 70’s and early 80’s”
