More of a man than you'll ever be


Gay, homo, fag; I've heard 'em all. The least y'all could do is attempt to be original!

Since the 7th grade, it's been six years; and you still think you know all about me!

You diss me cuz I don't mess with dudes but with females in dresses, but tell me who's shooting in these streets and getting they're "brothers" arrested. 

Just because I'm not sleeping with anybody who wants its; I'm automatically a gay ass nigga who y'all say ain't worth shit?!

But I'm the gay ass nigga yo girl run to when you messin' up!

They gay ass niga that chill with every chick you wanna get with!

The gay ass nigga that knows the answers to all the questions you ask in class. I'm a gay ass nigga because I don't treat females like trash?!

Y'all been shooting at me for six years and it's time I shot back! I've been working on me and mine while y'all niggas just slack!

You don't know who or what I am, shit, somedays I don't know! But I'm the biggest 19 year old man you'll ever know!!

Whatever I choose to be, it's all about me. I learned that y'all words don't mean shit, there was a time when y'all words made me wanna quit. End my life with a slit on my wrist, wrap a noose around my neck and move the chair with a kick, pop a couple pills and end my life real quick.

But after six long years y'all words ain't shit, cuz God blessed me with a piece of his spirit!

Some of y'all don't care, you'll treat me the same. The rest of you think I'll end up burning in flames.

But those people know nothing, especially not me, But trust and believe, I'm more of a man than you'll ever be.
