The real me?

Now who could that be?

The scared little boy,

Who puts on a tough face,

For these unforgiving Baltimore Streets?

Who drapes himself in the newest materials

That pop culture makes him believe I will die without?

The boy who believes love is nothing more than a whim?

The boy who understands that no one owes you nothing in this world?

 

Or am I different?

Am I the charismatic boy I try to be?

The one who smiles and waves at everybody?

The one who cares how everyone is doing no matter who he feels?

Mr.No Conflict right?

The child people pray for?

Polite, averagely handsome, and smart?

 

I can tell you now I am neither

I am tough nor nice

Strong nor weak

Neither dumb or smart

I am the boy who attempts to please the world

To prove to the world that I am here

To prove to history that I existed

I am just a boy

On a mission

 

The real me?

I know who that may be?

I am Goke Sanusi

And I will earn my keep.
