**Please note: This song has explicit language** When I was a freshman in college, I flew to LA with a couple friends to attend an urban ministry conference. We arrived a few days beforehand and our host gave us a map of the public transit system. He encouraged us to explore a few places in LA including skid row on our own. I grew up on a farm in Iowa and had very little exposure to poverty, homelessness, or really anything outside of a fairly comfortable rural middle class lifestyle. Walking down skid row was a shocking experience. Hundreds of people living in tents or in makeshift cardboard box structures on the sidewalk just outside of downtown Los Angeles. Look up and you see skyscrapers, wealth, and power around you. Look ahead and you see brokenness, addiction, poverty and mental illness.
