Rare, I say hardly.
There are many others with felonies charges.
Yes, many black males not making their names, within the system.

Oh, not no business executive.
But, one hard dependable worker.
Yes, one of many black males.

Not that, any of us are better than those that travel through the system constantly.
We had a goal to accomplish and one being avoiding prison.

It's easy to join and easier to avoid.
But hard to get out even if you're innocent.
So I walk with pride and highly so.

One black male, or one of many not out seeking trouble.
