I'm Just Being Me!!!

A Poem by Phunkadelique

A poem about me and the importance of being true to one's own self!

They say you ain't s**t if you don't have swagger,
but what I have is deeper than swagger!
Matter fact, it's higher too!
Cause when you on the level I'm on...
you don't give a f**k what others think about you!
Life is a journey to find one's true self,
but we spend most of our time looking for women and wealth.
We gotta prioritize and formalize,
organize to capitalize, be who we are for
we demoralize when we normalize!
You can do you better than the rest,
trying to be something other than you, you only second best!
F**k a swagger!!!
Kick rocks cause I'ma still rock the tube socks,
and keep Maroon 5 playing out the jukebox!
I like Linkin Park, Fort Minor, and Green Day...
The Cool Kids, Lupe, and Corinne Bailey Rae,
my n***a Neal put me on with Coldplay...
and The Killers too, I like some of U2.
Panic at the Disco and Gym Class Heroes,
only played it once but I like Guitar Hero,
All-American Rejects and John Mayer...
Josh Groban, Mike Shinodin, Call Of Duty multiplayer,
Ingrid Michaelson, B.O.B, and Lauryn Hill,
New Edition with and without Johnny Gill,
my n***a strawhat put me on with K-OS and Rise Against,
Common been that n***a since he was known as Common Sense.
Anyone who knows me knows Outkast takes the cake
as the fyest motherfonkers on the planet, no debate!
I keep a pick in my hair when my hat's not on
and I always have a pen by my right earlobe,
I wear a lot of red like the georgia clay mud,
I just love the f*****g color...I swear I'm not a blood! (fa'real!) lol
Basketball is my life, but naw I ain't a damn fool,
4 things still above it: God, Family, Friends, and School!
I'm a shy a*s dude, everybody says I'm quiet,
but I think before I speak, some of y'all might wanna try it! lol
I can't lie, my ego says I have a great personality,
but that could be me dreaming, perhaps that's far from reality.
But the funny thing about it is I don't give a f**k,
cause whatever I'm like I promise I'm just being Chuck!
So if you see me and you thinking "that's what losers do",
go ahead cause I don't have s**t to prove to you!
Do you think your opinion actually matters to me?
As if your thoughts have control of what I'm destined to be!?!?!
Negro please!!! I've found myself...or I'm damn close to it,
you still searching bruh...or too scared to do it!!
Scared of what people think or what they'll say,
s**t! you can have second, I'll just take first place!
Charles Ja'maal Paggett is who I will be,
if you see me on campus...s**t, I'm just being me!!
