I See You

Hey there mister. I see you. Hey there young man. I see you. I see you doin' your thug and handlin business. I see you going to school, not posted on the block. I see in your church. I see at the club and the bar. I see you at the fancy restaurant, I notice you from afar. I see you there, young sir, who dropped the familiar, leaped over the edge with not safety net to pursue your dream. I see you young sir, who traveled to the opposite end of the coast to shed tears for the passion. Breathing life into imagery with your talents. Hey there mister, I see you holding it down. Making beautiful music and creating spectacular sounds. I see you working all hard on your full time job. I see your part time hustle and how that really makes you glow. I love to talk about business and then talk about it some more. I see you at the gym and I notice you outdoors running around the lake. I see you at the mall and I admire your state, of mind. Your peace, the way you command respect. You goin' wear your bright your colors but your pants will be pulled up. Got your good shoe on, yeah, you've stepped your game up. Built on a belt and got your braids/dreads shaped up. So many young women get distracted and caught up in the facade. The makings of man are not based off his bling, his rims, or his chiseled chest and six pack. It's not because he is cute and tall does that make him a good candidate. Take notice of the young man of noble character. The one who pursues his passion for excellence against all the odds. The one who leaves it all behind, to conquer one goal after another. Be aware of the one who will leave it all behind to answer his calling. I see you. I hear you. When you talk of God and 401K, when you speak of doing selfless deeds and being a positive force in the community. I hear you when you speak of how a lady behaves and how a woman dresses. I see you single father, going hard and doing whatever you gotta do. I see you millionaire next door, providing for your family because of education and hard work. Not because you hustled and stole. I wanted to highlight the gentleman who manages his lil brother's music career. His brother's lyrics are very positive, classy, a new type of neo-soul r & b. Not only are they keeping it in the family, but by making good soulful music, they are giving back. They are infusing the purity back into music. Again, I want to showcase the gentleman who quit his job to follow his dreams. Another one who wants to do good for the community. Wants to portray nothing but positive, encouraging, educating messages to the young men and women within the greater metropolitan area, also known as the DMV. His vision not only provides outlets for creativity for the people who will work with him, but it creates jobs, amazing work experiences and the opportunity for people to share their gifts in a manner that is ritcheous. Some of the few things left untainted by politics and red tape is art, music, journalism and film. Beauty, sheer beauty. Showing others that it doesn't have to be naked to be sexy. It's more than being fine, to being attractive. Anyone can be cute, but a real woman or man is smart and cute. Representing a higher dignified swagga. Another shout out to the young cinematographer. Wow...I hope I spelt that right. Young scholar, young money maker, young mentor, young teacher. I see you. Ladies if you don't know any men like this, you need to take a long at yourself and the company you keep. Place yourself amongst the stars and cast not your pearls amongst swine. My question to you movers and shakers, fellas, why do you feel you have to do all this and be all things and not be in love? Not have a woman to help you up or hold you down? Dr. King had Coretta and Barack has Michelle. What's the deal gentleman? Get at me and let me know. I know all women can't be a distraction versus motivating force.
