Anyone?

As Black men in America
Our beauty is both demonized
And fetishized at the same time
You know people look at us
And they're afraid
Our very presence
Is considered dangerous
Or threatening
And yet people are also filled with
Jealousy or lustful fantasies
Because of racists myths about our bodies
You think it's feminine
To struggle wit your self image
So you lying every summer
Say you hate swimming
Yous a dolphin undercover
Just embarrassed of your flubber
Feelin like a turkey
In front of these fly women
You liftin everyday
But never getting bigger
Eating steak drinking shakes
Still a stick figure
If real men protect
You get knocked out in a sec
Guess you aint really a man
Less you flex triggers
You rocking beanies
Even in the summertime
Cause your confidence is fading
Wit your hairline
Been receding since a teen
Plus you short with crooked teeth
Funny dude
But never cheesin' on your profile

Aint no ugly billionaire
Says the wisdom of Hov
So you on a mission
To make your residuals grow
Stackin money steady rocking
The expensivest clothes
And you finally get attention
From the women you know
Now you caught a couple feelings
But won't open ya soul
Scared that she don't want your heart
Unless it comes wit ya dough
So you ghost her out of fear
Say she digging for gold
Didn't know that she was ride or die
Wealthy or po
Now you standing in the mirror
But you look at the flo
Cause you hate your own reflection
Won't admit to it though
Really wishing you was handsome
With a confident glow
Wanting love but forever screaming
Money over hoes

Got a body all your homies
Really jealous of
But you still need validation
From the rest of us
Run through women like a track
Every selfie showing abs
Cause your confidence dependent
On another's lust
Never cheating on your diet
You addicted to gyms
And you started doping
Cause you close to peaking again
Stronger than you ever been
Manliest of the men
Paranoid of getting older
Losing power and strength
Never been more insecure
Than at the top of your game
Cause you got a lot to lose
Wit all the muscle you gained
So confused
You thought this would put an end to ya pain
Still feel like your younger days
Getting bullied and chased

I guess another thing
Just like girls need aunties
You know
Boys need role models
The forming of who they are
I like it when my boys
Talk to you
I like it when they
Hang out with their dad
And my brothers
And people who
We respect their opinions
Because I expect their
Image of self to be formed by
These people
Sometimes I tell you
Oh the kids said this
Because you said it
That makes me happy
Because I know that helps
To fortify their perception
Of who they are
