14. What is your purpose? What will your legacy be?

15. I refuse to be another black statistic A black man who can wine and dine in the sin of the world and still be considered a Christian I plan on being great I care not to be less I refuse to wear a barcode across my chest I refuse to let a black tee or throwback jersey define me I refuse to let my children witness divorce Or make mature decisions in court I refuse to grow up carrying the generational curse I refuse to feel the need to curse in my verse I hate being automatically looked at when someone asks can anyone rap I wanna be a black man that can flip it from urban to corporate measures A black man who doesn't gain knowledge from the world for his own pleasures A black man who reps Christ to the fullest with no regrets My only regret is the stigma that many black statistics in the past have set Like going to jail, bragging about bail, leaving our kids, cussing at church, married and you still flirt, no father present at birth Animosity within the ministers of our church I refuse to let my people be viewed as temporary I plan on planting a seed not for the moment but for one that’s legendary As for statistics My father broke the mode And I feel its my job for the next generation to continue in it Because I refuse to be another black statistic
