Masculinity
"Masculinity"
In my awakening I grew more cold to certain things and people as I grew
that's an ugly truth unfortunately but who would've knew
that this is the part I would get accustomed to
Now here I am doing damage repair, trying to fix a broken man
but also trying to keep my family afloat
it's like trying row a boat wit three holes in it
still I got no problem exposing who I am…
this is me naked, on display at that gallery
trying to burn every impure thought like a calorie
but still, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta family to feed and teach
so no matter what the past was I can only fix the present
this is my opportunity to be present and present to them
the best version of me I can give
this is grown man biz it always has been
true masculinity must live on in this generation of has-beens
