Raised as a Gentleman

I was raised by a

loving, graceful,

god loving, homeade

cooking wonderful

"I'll always be there for you"

type of family.

 

Some gorilla strength,

motivating, always looking

after me and the

"Don't question me"

types of brothers.

 

Some church going

motivational speaking

smart and artistic

"Ask me anything"

type of pastors.

 

Some Jazz and Rock music

to calm me down and freestyle

dancing, the funny dude

"Who

doesn't give a crap

about what people think"

type of guy.

 

Some energetic

bouncing off of walls

and athletic

not caring that I'm big

saying nice things

being called a charmer

The "I can't hate. But

I can love"

type of friend

 

 

In a discriminating

racial saying world

who won't listen to you

or see what's underneath,

I stand and shout

"I'm better than you"

because.....

 

 

I was raised like a gentleman
