I've Been Called a lot of Things.

Man, Ive been called a lot of things…

My nigga

But what does it mean? The energy expressed when said connects you to me. Friend or foe? Whether its hatred or love I'm sure you’ll let me know.

Funny

Hard to read

My serious face hides my thirst for humor. Im all about making your sad days fewer. If your interest isn’t based on what I am but rather what you want me to be, I aint known for being shy, so what I allow you to view is all you will ever see.

Boo

Baby 

Bae

These aren’t names they are would be titles of significants yet in my past these titles have had numerous recipients. After feeling a connection you have addressed me as this. In search of a connection Ive undressed you as this.

Son

Daddy

To you Im joined at the hip until one of us reaches a gate. The sky is the limit or until six feet under is my current state. 

Man Ive been called a lot of things…

Slim

Nappy

Tatted

You find some comfort in making statements about my appearance yet when it comes to yours, all I feel is indifference. I welcome the positive. Keep your criticisms constructive. As a matter of fact don't say shit if your words lack substance. 

Man Ive been called a lot of things…

Asshole

Motherfucker

Bastard

Knowing my origin makes all except one of these terms relevant. The fact that sensitivity isn’t apart of my pedigree is indeed heaven sent. I may look like my mother, but apparently Im a lot like my Pop. If I were sensitive, I’d beg the name calling to stop. 

Man I been called a lot of things…

 Some of them true. If you’re calling me these things, what am I calling you?
