"It's your messed up family tree
And all you're left with all these questions.
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy"
2. These are my People. This song is a little different from the last song, it talks about how he grew up in the south and his "family" is his friends and real family. He came from the south and will always act like a cowboy because thats what he is use to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly5Nhca-tZY
"Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks
Shootin' b.b.'s at old beer cans
Chokin' on the smoke from a lucky strike
Somebody lifted off of his old man
We were football flunkies
Southern rock junkies
Crankin' up the stereo
Singin' loud and proud to gimme three steps
Simple Man, and Curtis Lowe
We were good you know These are my people
This is where I come from"
3. Where i come from. This song is also about the south and how he is proud of it and thats what he will embrace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV292aZuYEo
"I don't know about that accent son
Just where did you come from
I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from"

Novels/ Short Stories/ Plays
This is about fifteen-year-old Maria who is caught between two worlds—Puerto Rico, where she was born, and New York, where she now lives with her dad in a basement apartment. She struggles to lose her accent and fit into her New York life, and finds herself turning to poetry to express her feelings on culture clash. This connects to our theme because she comes from puerto- rico, so she has all these traditions and she does things that they would do back home. Now that she is living in new york, she will have to choose if she wants to have another heritage. For example, a new style of clothes, new foods and many more.
