Pinky (my bestie/roomie) and I had an engaging conversation the other night in which we discussed the current state of mind men seem to have these days. The subject of "real niggaz" came up, and needless to say we each went off on a tangent.
Dudes who claim to be real niggaz have this cocky, arrogant, ignorant (not in the 2 Chainz, Cam'ron, Juicy J way) attitude about them. They justify anything they do by stating that they're a "real nigga". Sorry to burst your real nigga bubble, but that shit is not a valid response for everything. You didn't pay your child support and your fridge is empty but that's okay 'cause you're a real nigga. You're still selling dimes and twins outta your mom's basement and smoking your profit by that's okay, 'cause you're a real nigga.If being a real nigga means disregarding what's ACTUALLY real in favour of acting like a coon, then real niggaz are far more of you "real niggaz" than y'all would have us believe.
Truth is, "real niggaz" (in the misconstrued sense) have an expiry date. Why? 'Cause they spend so much time doing shit to prove their "realness", they forget about the shit that matters. This is where grown men come into play. A grown man knows his priorities. And proving himself to other people is certainly not one of those. A grown man would rather live his life to his expectations and make himself happy within himself.
The opinions of others only matter for so long. If you still find yourself explaining and justifying your actions perhaps you need to re-evaluate what is most important. I'm speaking to the fellas on this one. Seriously, get your shit together. No one is expecting you to be Mr. Fortune 500 at 25, but you should be at least working toward something of substance. Nickle and diming aint gonna cut it forever sweetie. Bitches fuck with "real niggaz" because they too, care about the opinions of others. Being with a "real nigga" impresses her friends and makes her feel... what's the word I'm looking for?.... Validated. A real bitch wants a grown man. A guy who handles his business with class and that sexy masculine grace that only grown men have.
Real niggaz... really? Time to grow up.
