black sheep
imagine being the odd ball in the family
but because you stand out from everybody else
it's okay to be ridicule
because you are so different
it's justifiable to be treated like an outcast
you are distincive from the rest
in your eyes
you are unique
to others
you are disgusting
what is a black sheep
a person that stands out
someone that is straight forward
you are your own individual
and yet, people
find that to be a threat
rather than embrace you like a newborn baby
you are the black sheep
stranded with white sheeps
regardless of color
sounds of sheeps is bbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
but because you are different
the white sheeps run away
as if you were in their territory
this may like a story
but in all essence
this is real
so graphic that video games won't create a picture that's vivid
like a person's perception on one's reality
people are so quick to call you a black sheep
because you are not like them
that is true
i'm black, but not a sheep
i'm 100% all taino black puerto rican man
so never let anyone make you feel worthless
you are never
and i say never a black sheep to anybody
you are your own person
don't allow anyone take away your individuality
recite this everyday as if you are praying
life is not about fitting in
life is about standing out
