Being COOL... HARD... BAD...
MAD SWAGGER... a BOSS... a BAD BITCH...
a STRONG BLACK WOMAN... The SHIT...
a MUTHA FUCKIN MAN... the H.N.I.C....
...a REAL NIGGA...
I guess @ some point we ALL seek some type of "Reputation", to be seen as someone who's definitely ABOVE "average", not to be "Fucked with"...
It doesn't even matter if it's not true, just as long as people see you in the "image" you're trying to project.
But I get it... being Black in America (on Earth) means that that we deal with being "Disrespected" constantly. It starts in your childhood. You don't even notice it at first, but it goes on & on until one day U SNAP on a "Mutha Fucka" and it feels... "ORGASMIC" !!!
NOW you walkin around "WISHIN a M.F. would"...Now, nobody better not "DISS" you or you're gonna make sure they know not to ever do it again...even over petty/dumb shit. (I think FREE therapy should be included in that "Reparations Bill"...but don't hold ur breath 😕).
There's nothing wrong in having confidence, or demanding RESPECT (though "Respect" is actually EARNED), but this type of thinking has led TOO MANY of US to our own destruction!
Don't focus on creating a "Rep", focus on getting Great at what you do...or what you want to do in life.
So many of US are walking "time-bombs", we're wound up so tight that it wont take much for us to BLOW!!!...

*PLEASE be aware of your state of mind at ALL times.*
So, proclaiming you're a "Bad" this, or a "Real" that, is either done out of fear (of being "dissed"...especially in PUBLIC)...or out of insecurity (needing people to see you a certain way)...ALSO, "haters" will definitely "challenge" you about how "real" or "bad" you are and this is when shit can go REALLY wrong...
(🎼You might get shot or stabbed or killed or hurt...)
How you carry yourself tells everyone all they need to know about you. No need to tell people who you are. What you're SHOWING them may actually contradict what you're TELLING them! Also, ... the more you have to "proclaim" your "TITLE", the LESS true it becomes.
They say it's the "Quiet Ones" that you have to watch out for...
Wait. Damn!...that's a "REP" too, huh...😳
