SISTER TO A BROTHER
You say i don't know your struggles and in some ways that may be true, I'm just a woman on the outside looking in but here's what I see when I look at you.
I see a proud black warrior who has seemingly lost his stride, that needs a strong honorable queen planted firmly by his side.
Nobody wants to hear how you are tired of working for the man, your ancestors didn't get their 40 acres and a mule get over it and take a stand.
If you didn't finish school go back and get your high school degree, if you owe to many credits they have an equivalent test better known as a G.E.D.
no one is gonna respect you laying on the couch hollering that you are broke, there is work all around if you are willing to find it believe me that's no joke.
Take responsibility for yourself everyone wasn't meant to have a rap career, there's more to life than video games, smoking weed, and drinking beer.
Pull your pants up and stop looking like a slob, cause if you are smart enough not to get caught hustling on them streets then you can handle a real job.
My young little brother take this warning with heed, that all fertile ground is not good ground when it comes to planting your seed.
You say that I don't understand that your baby's mama is crazy on the real, well you knew all of that when you took the condom off and she stopped taking her pill.
Just because it's over between the two of you and you guys don't kick it like that anymore doesn't mean your responsibility to your children ends when you decide to walk out that door.
Stand up young man and take back your dignity with pride, if the new woman in your life doesn't understand that you have kids you don't need her by your side.
If it's really over with the mother of your kids stop dipping back and giving her false hope, so she can stop making your life a living hell with you playing the victim claiming that you can't cope.
If you are doing all the right things you can ignore this message and keep doing hat you do, and know my black man I haven't given up and i got nothing but love for you.
