PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A real man- That’s what people always say I should be,

But by whose definition- You ask 10 people, you get 10 different answers of what it

means.

Take care of responsibilities or handle your business- Treat women with respect,

Carry yourself properly- Respect elders, gain knowledge in your head.

If you have a child be there for them- And take care of your baby’s momma,

Avoid confrontation, walk away- At all cost avoid drama.

Be loving to your family- Take care of your mom and/or dad,

Be nice to siblings- Give your kids what you never had.

Keep it “real” and don’t forget where came from- Don’t go money crazy if you get it,

And always remember who had your back- Never forget it’s bros over bitches

That’s just a few of what it could be- I hate when I’m told to be a real man,

All I can do is be myself- I’m doing the best that I can.

You ask your boys and see what they say- What’s a real man to them,

They may tell you that they see a real man as someone who can pimp.

Keep 3-5 bitches at his side at all times- And 3 more on the side,

Or someone who hustles 24/7- Doing dirty shit to survive.

Selling that stuff to keep themselves right- Doing what they gotta do,

But it doesn’t matter what they say- What’s a real man to you.

A real man- This is what I say he is,

Someone who does what he has to- Someone that handles his bizz.

Not selling drugs ‘cuz that’s not a life- Working a 9-5 to keep his self right,

Sets a couple goals and keeps them in sight.

Only has one girl- And does what’s necessary for her,

And if he has a kid- He takes care of them no matter what happens to occur.

Respects all women unless pushed other wise- Never gets walked over,

Got to retain his pride.

A real man is just that- He keeps his self real while being a man,

Remembering where came from and knowing where he’s going- And doing everything he

can to be a better man.
