Atlanta ranks
as the 6th most

ranking consists of

individuals and we are
set up for ultimate
failure. Atlanta is also
a Mecca for Hip-Hop
industry and that
attraction brings fast
cars, jewelry and
money a walking
paradise for the most
harden criminals.

is up to the community
to provide a better
presentation of our
growing city. Inspire
the youth to live a
more righteous life
and encourage them

fallacy of greed.
Spread love, give
knowledge and most

youth to never stop
believing in
themselves and we
can turn this around
before it's too late.
Everyday is a better
day. Learn, live and
grow as a community

news and all you hear
is robbery here, home
invasions, kidnapping
there, murder here,
