Flashback to those times when the battles with my mind

Had me feeling worthless,

Vulnerable to the circus of serpents,

It wasn’t until God healed my mind

That I could see my purpose

Lyrically I go in like they do on Griselda records,

You're married with a side chick

So I can tell you're reckless,

Your wife came home early from a business trip,

Wanted to surprise you with breakfast,

Bust in on you giving some underage girl

A pearl necklace…

Spirit of the original man,

I expand the minds of one-dimensional fans,

The flow sports that hospitable tan,

I’m talking poetry and hip-hop did the nasty,

And birthed the likes of me,

And the flow is handsome,

Even the dikes agreed,

One of the reasons Black love is so beautiful

Is because they said we couldn’t do it,

Shamefully,

This negativity is put to music,

Myths of all Black men being deadbeat dads,

And how the Black women are always mad,

But our confidence (or what some call swag),

Will outlast these silly little trends and fads,

I came across a 15-year-old girl

Who was ashamed of her Black skin,

I’m wondering when and where this line of thinking begin,

Her favorite doll babies were Barbie and Ken,

I came across a 15-year-old girl

Who was ashamed of her Black skin,

I rounded up a crew of Sistas to teach her

That she was beautiful on the outside and within,

It is ‘Black pride’ and ‘Black is beautiful’ that I pen

Back when Barry Sanders changed Rod Woodson

From an all-pro cornerback into a safety,

You were popping out those babies,

Me, I was in class, concerned with graduating,

This girl was fly,

Haircut like Halle Berry from the movie “Strictly Business,”

And when said she wanted me to bust her cherry,

I got stiff with the quickness,

It seemed like it took forever for 8 o’clock to get here,

In a racist society,

Raising sane, righteous Black children

Is a revolutionary act,

Sooner or later you’ll grow up

From wasting babies on yet another stripper’s back

Enjoying every second of fatherhood,

Like a true father should,

It brings a joy that I wish more people understood,

It is indescribable,

Better than any titles, or false idols,

It adds a certain purpose,

How he treats you is how he feels about you,

Yet you continue to doubt truth,

He’s only around when your panties are down,

Up in some cheap hotel,

Excuse me, motel,

But you can’t stop thinking about him

Because he fucks you so well

Our second daughter,

The baby princess,

Our prayers answered as heaven stands at attention,

We see God in multiple dimensions,

A miracle every time

The name Kennedy Olivia Cuffee

Is mentioned,

Miracles happen every day,

So I suppose it is time to put my princess on display,

Her birth filled Marsha and I with such elation,

A poet by reputation,

But in all my years of creating,

Everything I’ve ever done or thought falls woefully short

When compared to this creation,

(Brace yourselves)

According to you I’m living in hell, 

And pretty soon I’ll be dead or in jail, 

But on the contrary, 

I’m living quite well, 

And I’ve never seen the inside of a jail cell, 

I, like so many other Black males 

Have a more positive story to tell,

Poor ole Melanin with all her sappy lovers,

For a while now, her outlook on men,

Was that the dating game is for suckers,

Tossed Todd back because he was a down low brother,

Mitch still lived with his mother,

Horace didn't know how to love her,

Michael liked to see women suffer,

One of God’s greatest gifts

Is finding that someone special to share your life with,

So timely the trip,

As we both take sips…of paradise,

Embrace a future paved by husband and wife,

In conversations with our maker,

We sit stunned in amazement,

As we’re faced with loving elations,

Somewhere along the line

The image of a good man has become blurred,

He isn’t a catch because he doesn’t beat on you or cheat on you,

He’s a catch because he knows how,

And how not to treat you,

Greet you,

His loyalty and trustworthiness are merely a preview,

Never take your wife for grant it,

Her and your children are your biggest blessings on this planet,

Salute to those that are fortunate enough to understand this,

Many men are incapable of standing on their own two feet,

Their bad life decisions have reduced them

To being homeless in the streets,

It was 1999,

And I was driving my little red corvette,

My course set,

Infatuated with this girl I just met,

Speeding over graffiti bridge on my way to erotic city,

Just to have a date with that sexy motherfucker,

My darling Nikki,
