A note for my little brothers, even though we're not blood related I still consider them family and want the best for them ..
To my little brothers…
Young is just a word, that starts with Y & ends in G
That’s where you get that Young G, but that will only get you
so far
Keep your bodies young and cultivate your minds
Put your geeks on and study the success of those around you
Like a well written rap, stay raw and real but stick to the
beats you make for your own life
Don’t always listen to the rap in the speakers that surround
you, it may be good to bump but don’t make it your source of advice
Now when it comes to the ladies you might move Suave
like shampoo and speak smooth like RnB
But like a busboy please take these tips .. cause your swag
may get you attention but your character gets you respect
Which is why it’s hard when girls be flaunting, cause I know
you’re wanting
And here is the key, a MAN is not defined how many but how
true.
See from experience I’ve seen, your game will get you plays
and often time praise but when you get off the court their respect for you is
phased, they’re batman to your 2face.
And that’s what you can expect if all your picking up is
dimes that you take at face value, look
for something more rare that’s worth a lifetime of savings
But we all make mistakes it’s in our blood like oxygen, so
fill your lungs and let the lessons spread through your veins so
you can breathe out the carbon-dioxide poison
Set goals and keep them as a constant reminder like your
morning alarm, but if you hit that snooze too many times you’ll miss out cause
everyone else is already up
So it’s ok to be different going for the gold, like an
Olympian. They prove the one’s who put in work will win, life’s not meant to be
easy.
So don’t stress if you have haters are on your tale, take
note you’re doing something right. Because they’re defined by insecurities since
they’re just doin aight.
Enjoy this beautiful life, but enrich yourselves with all it
has to offer cause if you have a closed vision you’re limiting yourselves to
the wonders you could find..
like being stuck in a room and closing the door marked opportunity.
Ignorance can be fear in sheep’s clothing, don’t let what scares you prevent
you from flying.
Explore and take chances, if you fall, fall forward be
reminded by the scars like your bodies own scrapbook of the experiences you’ve
been through
You are never too good to learn from anyone or any situation
so keep the pencil in your mind sharp to take mental notes.
As your big sister I may not know everything or always be
the best at leading you along but I will strive to and that is my word
If you need to speak to someone don’t be afraid to speak to
me, I will always be your metaphoric ear, a shoulder for you to rest or that
tough love giver
Now let me get off this soap box and like addition sum it
all up… Think deep, live light, speak truth, have faith, let music move you,
learn to trust n learn to fall, but even more so learn to get back up and let
each moment stay with you.. this is your life to live ;)
