I'm trying to be respectful, ma'am
don't force me to get mean
If you overtalk me one more time
I'll make your life a meme

Let's start off with the basics
dress size? weight? your beauty score?
So, thirty-five, three-daddy clan
makes you a solid "4"

I know you rate yourself an eight
Beyonce's got that spot
Again, not to be mean, my dear
have you been smoking pot???

The marketplace sets your value
so don't get mad at me
Women value resources
men value what they see

You ladies don't quite get it
seems you're waiting on a fable
You can't expect the world
if you bring nothing to the table

This delusion will be your downfall
a man of means so you can rest?
My best advice? Stay in your lane
you're average...just...at best

There's nothing wrong with average, ma'am
despite what you've been told
Accept it or it's cats and wine
from now 'til you grow old

The family is under siege
while values crash and burn
This delusion of entitlement
is what I came to overturn

So don't grieve for my departure
Godfathers come and they go
I came. I cared. I planted seeds.
It's up to you now to make them grow!

In Memory of Kevin Samuels
