Urban poetry about a man coming into his own
Black men give a listen, but remember that
The choice is yours to call upon. Because the “day has long passed
You by.” The day that you must stand tall in morality in the highest
Of the intestinal fortitude that is within you!

The day that you were to stand and stand tall
As the backbone at the structural foundation of your homes. The day that
You were to stand tall in the liberty of being the head of your home. The
Day that you were to be the leader in your decision-making skills to lead your
Families, to provide stability unto the enhancing the foundation for your
Next generation to continue on.

You have instead become nothing more than a
Punching bag for society by the forcing of “Black Queens”
To make all the sound decisions, by pressuring them into being mother
And father, by demoting them from the throne of a “Black Queen” to
That of an underachieving welfare seeking picture that society has
Painted of her. Oh sure, I know, she has to stand on the two feet
That God gave her and you didn’t force her to do anything right?

Guess what? Again I say “the days has long
passed you by. The day when you as the man !!! took on the
call to duty. And realize that even though she didn’t stand on her
own two feet and you may not have forced it upon her, you did nothing
as the backbone, because “The day has long passed you by.”
The day that you were to realize that as the head

“If there’s no God then there’s no Peace
But if you know God then you know Peace”
