The Black Man being vital in unity
The symbol within his own community
Media says that’s not reality
Media portrays the Black Man doesn’t know how to survive
But in all reality is determination in all it takes
This is nothing fake
Slavery’s history was a struggle in the Black Man in knowing that they can overcome and change which others felt impossible
Today the Black Man has inspiration
Slavery was only a lesson in showing the way in achieving
But some Black Men still hold onto what they believe having no assurance, but all takes is endurance
But that is only the Black Man’s formulations, but in reality they have a strong foundation
It is not an assumption as it is a known fact
It’s about the Black Man stepping out and fulfilling their dreams
Not the expectations of what one wants the Black Man to believe
There is nothing concrete that says the Black Man must stay and always be in a struggle
It’s about illustrate and present yourself who you really are and not the assumptions of what one would expect
Media also states the Black Man is into Drugs, Jail and Lack of Fatherhood
But those are the weak minded Black Man that feel they have no purpose in life
However, every Black Man has a purpose in life, but they must find their way and be determined to get there
How many things about the Black Man in the Hood, but those same Black Men actually made out the hood and turned their life into could
The theme is “Excel”
The Black Man has a success story to tell
It’s the Black Man’s personal chains that holding them back in not being confident and only settling
Settling is only an negative vibe, but goes no where from there

It’s time for the Black Man to come out and prove to themselves that the Black Man Sterotype is nothing more than a hype
The Black Man has pride
It’s dignity in what the mind provides
The Black Man has the power to be an achiever
So unlock and expand your mind
But Black Men, remove all negative thoughts like a river reseed
Take responsibility within your life is all you need
Commodity is your wonder as a Black Man
It’s just an misunderstanding from the media in thinking they know what the black man is about
In order to understand, you must have travelled up the ranks down the minority road in experiencing the struggles and discrimination
This is the solid information
But Black Men can actually be the Black Man that they are meant to be
You were created with a since of purpose on this Earth
It all started from the beginning at your birth
One can’t determine which they didn’t create
One can love but choose to hate
Hate is not something you are born with, but is sustained in learned
The Black Man has gone through all those narrows
It’s like piercing painful arrows
So common ground being enchanted
Words focused, INSPIRATION, COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION AND FULFILLMENT
Set your goals high
You are probably wondering why?
It gives you an agenda to aim for in attempting to your succession desires
Let no one determine as a Black Man that you need permission
You are your own mission
Being a Black Man is just another color for you to be determined in life in your own right
It’s the potential within excelling in talent beyond the Racial Color
Like my Grandfather would often say to me, “BE A COMMODITY FOR ALL TO SEE, AND BE EVERYTHING YOU SET OUT TO BE, BUT BE CONFIDENT IN HOW YOU DO IT, THEN YOU WILL BE AUTOMATIC TO IT”.
