My outlook on all the profile pictures full of nothing but smug faces!
I guess you want me to take a picture with the shoulder lean

and the snapback with sunglasses on,

like all the other black kids...

but I guess I'm just not cool enough to look that miserable.

Whats your purpose in looking so smug?

Lookin mean in a picture doesnt make you a thug.

It's like you've got all this imaginary pain hidden and your unleashing it in your hideous photos.

Or maybe like I said before

I'm just not cool enough and I'll never understand.

I'll never understand your reasoning

I'll never understand all this pain that you never express,

and I'll never understand the whole concept;

of looking like a beaten slave in my picture.

I'll never comprehend why my swag is off because I chose not to do so

I guess I'll stick to grinning in my photos,

and flaunting my joy

because I see no purpose in resembling a broken toy;

and as for you...

PLEASE

for God's sake!

SMILE!

I mean really

The hungry children in Africa put on bigger smiles for the camera than you!

AND THEY HAVE NOTHING!!!

Now thats "Swag"
