Mi a Big Man

Some men are just sperm donors 
They think they are men because they father a child 
They sit on the corner telling their crew ..."mi a big man now, mi father a youth" 
"Mi a big man....mi a father"
How can you call yourself a father and you have no clue if milk is in the mouth of your  youth 
"Mi a big man, mi father a youth" 
You don't have no job but yuh father a youth!
"A three baby mother mi have, mi a big man ...mi have mi youths "
No education, no job and yuh smoking weed  ... singing the same old song "mi a big man, mi have my youths" 
Are you a role model for your youths?! 
Yuh on the corner bragging and another man feeding your youth. 
"Mi a man , mi have my youth"
Your child is now a man and yuh still on the corner counting how much youths yuh have and yuh never send them to school , yuh never even buy them a shoes. 
"Mi a big man, mi have my son"
Yuh never spend  a dime but yuh a bragging yuh have a son
"Mi a big man , mi have my youths.. mi a father...my son a doctor now"
Yuh bragging that yuh a big man and yuh never buy a book,
Well big man, yuh need to take care of yuh youth ... that's what a real Big Man would do.

Greetings Sonya So true these actions you mention happen to a certain percentage of young men today. Your verse makes me think of one of mine called " PYPU-Pull Yo Pants Up" Be Blessed :) --James
