I Love U , Wherever U Are

This Is What Makes Me

By nikkoPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

I know your childhood was really rough but it made you stronger and made you tough. Look at you now, you can put your fists up didn’t need no one help when things was fucked up. That color green you love that shit, I can see them dollar signs in your eyes, staring at your account I think I’m going blind. Because I need it! I need that paper, the paper, I need the paper, that paper, family didn’t teach me how to get it, so got up off my ass! Looking for jobs looking for cash, by any means.

Now lets get into that red. No gang banging no flags waving, I mean that blood you will spill for fam, I got the news I was like damn! My little sister gone I couldn’t feel shit, emotionless not knowing I would later be traumatized. Look at my mama and I really wanna ask why? To know the truth, But with the truth will I still LOVE U? Got my own family now, I’m the man, staying focused on the task at hand, got two little boys gotta teach them how to be a man, this shit is hard! To my woman you know you got my heart, I did some shit I wasn’t thinking smart, girl you my queen! This is what that red mean.

Black is beautiful its my favorite color, not to sound cliche but I love all my brothers and my sisters should be treated like a supreme being. What I’m meaning? I mean we need to stick together, I wear my black skin proudly I dont want to be nothing other. Because I am a king, If you don’t think so then get fro me around me, I want to unite my people and build something, fuck all of this running and repercussion, my people can we stand for something!? I Love myself and the skin I’m in, got that black panther slapped on my arm no bull shit, Black is who I am Black is what I love , thank you for blessing me with your touch.

Now do you see the colors that represent me? Just be you and forget what everyone else think.
