Black Man, Black Man

Black man , black man on the court,

Keep working toward your dream without selling your self short.

Black man , black man on the political force

Be not the scapegoat that allows foolishness to continue running its course.

Black man , black man playing games with your friends,

Remember the black top lines are not where your story ends. 

Black man , black man on the color screen,

Don't let glitter and glitz make you forget what integrity means. 

Black man, black man on the corner selling dope,

Even in the darkest days, for you , there still remains hope.

Black man , black man, from white as snow to dark cocoa brown

Us women want you to win, but in return, are you down??

Black man , black man, preaching the good word

Anyone ever remind you that your troubles mustn't go unheard?

Black man, black man , be brave and say how you feel,

For then, those generational scars can begin to truly heal. 

Black Man, black man pressured to be cold and hard,

It's perfectly okay to be gentle and let down your guard.

Black man, black man who just can't seem to ever get it right

Know that quick fixes ain't ever the answer to end your plight.

Black man, black man who is dead and long gone

Whether by nature or human means you perished, your legacy , we will carry on.

And black men all over , one last thing I have to say: know from the depths of my heart, I love you every single day ❤️🖤
