A Real ManA Poem by Tyler JacksonStand like a man, move like a legend Talk but with action, that's how you'll be remembered The greats learned that humility is a weapon Sever ties with the part of you too big to learn a lesson Sit in silence, to fight the mind and try to find the present Cuz we only get a couple chances to be epic And I'm connected, like God plugged my headphones Directly into heaven and told me to go and get em with this Mic cord, I am, nothing you can tell me They bark when they talk but they walk like the legless The purpose of my art, is for people to respect me I'm not a king I'm a servant to the desires that tempt me Only way to escape the cage in a valley of roots Be a mirror to the people when they're searchin for truth Only way to escape the cage in a valley of roots Claim the mirror, my people, keep searchin for you
