You have been given a challenge Black man
One you can not decline,
It will require your strength of body
And a clear, concise mind.
You have been tasked
To deliver what no one else can
To teach your young son
To become a strong black man
This your duty
As assigned by high above
To teach all that is needed
Including the power of love.
I say to you good luck
Go forth and carry on
For the task you've been given,
The road will be hard and long.
