That Kind of Man

I want to be the kind of man that makes women smile, not cuz of his slick tongue or ability to get their feminine wiles. I want to be the kind of man that makes you smile, simply cuz you know I'm crazy for argyle. I spaz for it, if I see it I adore it, if you with me and you see it, buy it, I shouldn't have to ask for it..Jus kidding, I'd rather treat, and before I disrespect you, I'd rather we didn't speak. I want to be the kind of man that's 100% independent, in the political arena I'm not a demo or a rep I'm independent. I want to be that kind of man that ladies love, not cuz of my looks, but the appreciation I have for what God made me capable of. I want to be that kind of man that looks out for others and treats his own enemies like his brothers.

I want to be that kind of man that makes big money, but with or without it my disposition is still sunny. I want to be that kind of man who is never quick to judge, and who can still love my wife even if she develops a pudge. I want to be that kind of man that calls you to say nothing, I know what I had to say was important but your sweet voice always makes me forget something. I want to be that kind of man that Jesus describes, asking similar questions like, "Who do you think that I....am?"

It's amazing that the kind of man I want to be involves more pain than a visectomy. I want to be that kind of man who isn't defined by his sexual prowess, or moves out of the country to live in a palace. I want to be that kind of man who trusts his woman completely, knowing she is the thing God sent to complete me. She's much more than a thing though, but to convey all her positives and keep this to rhyme, I'd have to speed up the tempo. Just so you know I have no dream girl, the girl God sends is the one in my world. I'm single not cuz I'm playin the field, it's jus for so long I been pushing 100 when God has been simply saying "yield." I use to define myself by who was on my arm, sorta like the rappers define themselves with their charm. I used to define myself by people's opinions of my poetry, now I'm like a duck your negativity will jus flow from me.

I never understood why people would thank their haters, now I know, it's because they elevate you higher than any of our skyscrapers. I want to be that kind of man that doesn't please others to get recognition; I simply want to do it because that's my heart condition. I heard that God knows the true you, so what if that means your idol is more evil than you? I want to be that kind of man that doesn't assume the worst, I wouldn't have to if I put God first. I want to be that kind of man that slow to jump into the fray, even though my temper is hotter than Pompeii. But hey, time to cut this short, and if you didn't know I'm one of God's cohorts. I fulfill some of these qualities in that kind of man, but I'll indulge you like Jesus indulged his punishers by asking, "Who do you say that I am?"

**Fueled by passion, driven by pain before I die the world will know my name**
