Brotha Man

What’s up brotha man
I may not be your sista,
But I still care for you like one
You’ve been through many trials and tribulations
Mind, body, and soul unable to take a vacation
So you continue to get your hustle on
I know that if you’re gonna be anything, you want be the best there is
But you always catch hell for every move you make
And sometimes you make big mistakes
But doesn’t everybody?
You’re not a low-down-no-good *****
Or a dead beat father figure
Demeaning your character isn’t going to solve the problem
It’s all about keeping it real
If I share with you my emotions
Will you honestly tell me how you feel?
Cause frankly
Being a man is secondary to being human
You feel just as much as a woman does
But only in a different way
I have emotions that allow me to feel from the inside out
You have an ego that allows you to feel from the outside in
Is that so bad?
Not always
In my opinion, egoism is sometimes taken out of context
It just means that you feed off of others in order to do your best
But the challenge is being able to balance out each others feelings
Tell me…If I feed your ego
Will you secure my emotions?
If I give you proper respect
Will you honor my devotion?
Egoism is your driving force
And it deserves to be nurtured
But never to the point that you act like someone you’re not
You have self control
And I believe in you brotha man
I just want to let you know that I understand
I would never undermine your manhood
I want to help you along the way
When your world comes crashing down
I will pick you up and let you know it’s okay
You have been mistreated and mislead
And I give you praise for making it this far
These words that I speak to you are true
And they come straight from the heart
I love you brotha man
