Modern Man

Stereotyped to not love any woman he doesn’t share blood with
And as the one not to have kids with
Fitted cap, blue jeans, timbs, a hoodie, and a vneck shirt
But described in all black and menacing on the newest crime alert
Can’t do better because it’s believed he doesn’t know better
All he knows is self, live, steal, kill, hurt, and abandon
If destined to fail, what’s the point of becoming a man?
Because of his fearless heart of determination
He knows he can achieve more, even with the odds stacked
College degree, rap, on the black, shooting shots, entrepreneurship
He knows he has it in him to make it, just can’t decide which situation
So he fights on
Struggles with self identity have him confusing whether to trust women or not
But still holds on the thought of one day having “her”
He instead focuses on making “it” so he can be the best “him” for “them”
Modern Man: Creatively created, constantly doubted, successful efforts patronized, negative aspects glorified, inner peace disturbed by unrealistic expectations, but still managing to make it
