ODE TO A GODDAMN FOOL
I here a lot about “the block”
and the lifestyle it demands;
how it forces a brother
to prove himself,
and show the world that he’s a man.
But all I hear is a lot of words,
broken, misspelled, and out of sync;
I hear very little useful knowledge,
But quite a bit about how you think.

You think manhood’s
all about big cars,
with blow,
and bling bling, all about;
You see the mother
of our people
as bitches and whoes,
and brothers
as niggas to be taken out;
You see our children
like used kotex,
a hindrance
to be dumped at best;
They belong to the funky
bitches and whoes
that you fucked to death then left.

Now you call yourself a player,
and don’t even know the game;
you brag of your
nickel and dime street crime,
and see your
rep on the block as fame.

Nigga!
are you out of your Goddamn mind?
Can’t you see what’s in the cards?
Your ignorant, funky, illiterate ass
is killin’
what could and should be ours!

God made our women
to nurture our kids,
to raise black boys
to be black men;
Then black men, when grown,
to protect our women,
while paying homage
to the gift within.
We then raise that child
with reverence and style
to be more
than we could be,
Then watch that wondrous gift take hold
as black glory
for all to see.

Any male
that reaches twenty and one 
and don’t
understand that rule,
is not only less
than a true black man,
but a motherfuckin’ fool.

Listen to me, young brother, and through my eyes may you see. I'm not here to promote myself, but I'm one of the first they called
OG.
I was knee-deep in game long before many of you were born. 
I've done good, I've done bad, I've bought dope, and I've dealt.
I've loved, and hurt many women,
but not as much as I've hurt myself.
In the past I took great pride
in giving hordes of brothers game,
but now I'm back
to set things straight,
and undo that claim to fame.
