Dear Black Man

Let’s talk about the  Man

I Mean the Black Man 

Black Man, Black Man, they called you Stupid and Irrelevant 

Black Man, Black Man, Nobody loves you, they just use you 

Black Man, Black Man, you can’t dress up without them calling you gangster

Black Man, Black man you can’t walk without them calling you Killer 

For centuries now, my brothers and I have always been fighting in this goddamn world. For respect, for opportunities, for chances, while realistically everybody is supposed to have the same rights.

They expect you to be strong and obey

Bow down just like a sinner in front of Jesus 

But they don’t know that if they have to compare someone to Jesus, you will be the Jesus.

They say, Lord have mercy because he saved them from evil,

I say Black Man have mercy because you still have a space in your heart to forgive those that hurt you.

I can only talk for my people 

just like Jesus you have been beaten to death, you have been betrayed, disrespected, 

You have been through a lot, you suffered a lot.

They pushed you down 

You fell down but you got back up 

“Going to Washington during October Break, the Cops arrested me because they found a bag full of drugs at the airport and thought that it was mine 

Why ?

because, I was the only Tall ass Black dude around, walking confidently with my head Up as always, with a little bit of attitude to flatter the lady who was behind me while minding my own business”

Even by minding your own business, Black Man you will always be someone’s else business

Just like your skin color, they expect you to be silent

But even by being silent you Skin talks. 

Like a sign post, your melanated skin is seen as a sign of danger.

Black Man you heart sings to a Key that no one can hear 

You see, a Black man respects 3 Women

The MaMa, 

every time she speaks, it brings a little smile on a Black man ‘s face just like a beautiful sunrise

The MaMa humbles the heart of my Black brother, she is the one who breastfed him and so you don’t mess up with the MaMa. You don’t play with her dude

The Beautiful Black Girl Magic 

She is the reason why a Black Man shows emotions, she is the one who teaches my Brother what Love really is. 

Don’t be surprised if you see my Black Brother saying to a black queen that you walk like a lion because every step that you make has a purpose

Then the last woman that a Black man respects is the Hood. 
We are married to the Hood. The Hood is the mother of knowledge for All Black Men

Because school spends too much time teaching us about the white race, About other continents but never about the Mother Land Africa.

School teaches us that a Black person is always wrong, that we are met to be drug dealers just like In movies, that we are Bad people and we will never ever succeed in life and achieve anything

I can only talk for my people 

The Hood  taught me that I’m a Man who deserves to be respected 

The Hood taught me that I will achieve great things in life 

The Hood taught me that  my Race, my beloved race (Black) never cracks.. 

It’s time to acknowledge that Black Girl Magic, Black Excellence, Black Boy Joy are more than just hashtags. 
It’s a whole Army. It’s a legacy than cannot be dismantled.

Black Man Black Man, you always rise up just like a phoenix 

Black Man Black Man, you are the Elite 

Black Man Black Man, you don’t need your name to be in an Goddamn Book for the world to know that it cannot exist without you

Black Man, Black Man you are valuable 

Stand Tall and Pray to your God. 

Stay woke 

Thank you!!!
