I think about our kids and all the negative stigmas placed on them by society .
I think about all the unfair crosses they have to bear.
I think about all the obstacles they have to overcome.
They get labeled as lost .
disrespectful.
arrogant.
unfocused.
violent .
angry.
ignorant.
savage.
criminally insane.
drug addicted.
undisciplined .
mentally incompetent.
You'll never make it imagery and subliminal messages gets aimed as weapons and hurled straight to their subconscious.
Despite all those obstacles our kids find a way to stay conscious. [woke]
They share information
They demonstrate and spread awareness.
They take action.
They get involved.
When they get together no questions go unanswered.
No problems are left unsolved.
Our kids are graduating at record highs.
Their doing more than just selling drugs and getting high.
They are becoming entrepreneurs.
They are light years ahead of the learning curve.
They are brilliant trail blazers giving this world the change that it deserves.
They bridging the cultural gap.
Every day they break down a new barrier.
They becoming pillars in the community and love giving back.
They have this life thing down.
It's the rest world that needs to get on track.
Salute to the black excellence coming from my young kings and queens.
They do not get enough encouragement from the media so I'm using my platform to applaud their efforts and lift them up.
