yo he had an aversion to labels
went to church in the 'hood every sunday
livin' his life in the black community
yo he was loaded politically
by the choices he made from a conservative
contradictory phenomenon stereotypes
of his family -
yo his identity is indistinguishable
like bravado and nonchalance
represent this
as his image of images mutates
like well hung theme music
and ultra ghetto blackness
has a chokehold on black
male masculinity -
ultimately yes these cats do exist
without a limp wrist
the muthafucka is the rap version of
rock hudson livin' a closeted lifestyle
"EXPOSED, YO SON HE'S EXPOSED . ."
