In class we have been reading Code of the Street, written by Elijah Anderson. We are more than half way through it now and I have found lyrics to songs that remind of the Code and life for people of innercities. All of these rappers have either been shot or become millionaires from their music and I think it is interesting to connect these lyrics to the book.
