What are the characteristics of a black man?
Is it interesting that I can laugh louder than thunderstorms, or is it because I am the difference between midnight and 11:59?
So tell me a different story,
Build up the image of a black man.
So again, what are the characteristics of a black man?
Cold because I can ice out me and my girl,
Intelligent because I am educated,
Funny because my laugh can lift up a dead spirit,
Can you hear it?
The way money crosses these fingers you would believe I’m a scammer but
I’m just a black man with a dream, so look into my eyes from a distance.
Things may be different from what it seems.
What are the characteristics of a black man?
Bougie because my gold won’t bend,
Athletic because I have the mamba mentality,
Creative because my taste in music has you feeling me from The Temptations to G Herbo, Durk and Polo G,
Durable because I believe that words hurt, but my grind to the top will be worth it,
Or is it because I’m supportive and that we ride together and we die together bad boys for life?
What are the characteristics of a black man?
My mean mug’s tough, but my right is tougher.
Built-in the hood, my foundation is different.
I stood 10 toes while losing my mental health, but you wouldn’t know that.
I took time for it all, but my personality is different.
I embrace myself, and I embrace the unknown.
So again, what’s the difference between me and you?
