My Beautiful Black Brothas


A Brotha with intimidation.
Deep brown smooth color.
Eyes that will penetrate you.
Sure of Himself. Cloths pressed, not hangin' off his ass,
Smellin' all good.


A Brotha not runnin' from his responsibilities.
Takin' care of his home, his Queen, his chilluns.
Bein' a man, doin' whatever to provide for them.


A Brotha not getting locked up and locked down.
Trapped by the white man's evils.


                 Their white women
                 Their drugs
                 Their alcohol
                 Their swine
                 Their violence


Love Yourselves
A Brotha that is self-learning.
Knows his history, and where he comes from.
Teaching other Brotha and Sista' s
the truths to who are still blinded.


A Brotha with self-improvement, self- understanding,
self-fulfillment, self-assuring, and self-providing.
A Brotha that had self-worth.
