This is for black boys who are carefree
Who dance to their heart’s content, even though they lack the rhythm to
The black boys who listen to Prince and MJ, and try, most times unsuccessfully, to sing every word of every song
The ones who write poetry on their breaks at their shitty jobs, or pretty much wherever they feel “inspired”
And the ones who believe that music is the answer to all of the world’s problems
We exist!
This is for the ones who can’t watch sports unless their glasses are glued to their faces
Ones who read books about history for fun and complain about never getting invited anywhere (like they would come anyway)
This is for the black boys who are interested in “the arts”
Who write their raps on their broken-up iPhones
Who disregard the cuts that come from the cracked screens
The ones who know more anime than just Naruto and One Piece
The black boys who are too timed to speak up in class
Yet are practically wealths of knowledge in all things
And what they don’t know, they are more than willing to learn
We are valid too
Please don’t forget that
