THROWBACK MAN

I'm a throwback to the old days. When men respected women. When a man was dating a girl, he wasn't seeing five others behind her back. When men opened doors, and called when they said they would. When they treated their girl like she was the only one in the world they wanna be with. When after working a 10 hour day, no matter how tired, the only thing he wanted to do was see her. When a man couldn't stop missing her when she wasn't their, but couldn't get enough her when she was? I am a.....THROWBACK MAN!


SO WHERE IS MY THROWBACK LADY?

TATTOO\TABOO

TATTOO USE TO BE TABOO. ONLY REBELS AND CRIMINALS. HOWEVER ACCEPTABLE FORMILITARY PERSONAL TO SHOW THEIR UNITY. SLOWELY BUT SURELY WE CAN CHANGETHE PERCEPTION ONE PERSON AT A TIME. WE ARE JUST ONE HAND SHAKE CLOSERTO THAT DAY IGNORANCE IS THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. ORGANANIZATIONS ARE FORMINGUNITIES AND CHAPTERS IN EVERY STATE WITH THEIR MAIN PURPOSE OF BEING ANEDUCATIONAL TOOL. THEY ARE CARRYING THEIR TEACHINGS TO ANOTHER LEVEL.WE ARE SEEING DOCTORS,LAWYERS, SCHOOL TEACHERS AND PREACHERS DISPLAYINGFREELY. HEY THIS IS ME! TATTOOS ARE AND HAVE BEENA WAY TO PROFILE. A WAY TO IDENTIFY APERSON. LETS TAKE IT SKIN DEEP. SOMETIMES IT IS A SPORATIC DECISION.OTHER TIMES IT IS A WLL THOUGHT OUT PLAN TO SIT UNDER THE ARTIST HAND.IT IS A PROCESS THAT CAN NOT BE DONE ALONE. IT IS CONCEIVED BY A IDES,A IMAGE TO REMIND THEM OF BACK HOME. A RELATIONSHIP THAT WENT WRONG. ASYBOL SPARKED BY COMMITITMENT, A STEP OF CLOSURE,FUELED BY THE GRIEVINGPROCESS. WE CARRY THIS THRU THE TATTOO SHOPS DOOR. WE GIVE THE IDEA TO THEARTIST.THE TRANSFORMATION BEGINS. IT IS THIS TIME IN THE ARTISTS CHAIRWHERE THE WARE AND TARE OF LIFES JOYS BRING BIGGER SMILES. A ENDING TOA WINDING ROAD OF SORROW, TEARS OF CLOSURE CAN SOMETIMES FLOW. AS THESKIN STARTS TO HEAL SO DO OUR HEARTS. THIS BEAUTIFUL IMAGE IS BIRTHED. WE ARE NOT SOCIETIES WRONG. WE ARE MOTHERS, FATHERS,AUNTS,UNCLES,SONS,DAUGHTERS THAT ENJOY ART AND TAKE THAT FINAL COMMITMENTPROCESS TO WHO WE ARE AND WHERE WE HAVE BEEN. WE SHARE OUR JOYS AND OURPAIN ON OUR SKIN. THE TATTOO ARTIST ARE MORE THAN INK SLINGERS OR JUSTA TATTOO ARTIST. THEY CARRY A DEEPER MEANING. SHOW THE CREDIT WHERE ITIS DUE. WE ARE A WALKING CANVAS THAT THEY DISPLAY OUR IDEA THAT WE SEEIN THE DARK. THEY BRING IT TO THE LIGHT WITH A TALENTED BLESSED HAND.WE COULD NOT EXPRESS THIS WITH JUST OUR OWN HANDS. WISDOM ISCONTAGIOUS. THANK YOUR ARTIST FOR MAKING YOUR VISION COME TO LIFE..

SHE KEEPS PASSING ME BY

My mother aint hit me when i was lil boy for nothin

everytime I didnt open the door for a woman.

See i was raised to be a gentleman

Good, kindful & intellegent

but most importantly be respectful to a woman.

So now im a grown man and Im thinkin to myself

Being a gentleman leavin me lonley and by myself

So Im sorry ma, that your hard works all went in vain

cuz girls is lookin me over and i feel like im tha blame

& as always nice guys finish last u kno its all tha same.

just anotha face in tha crowd

You see im Not a typical thug in tha club spittin game

tryin to impress u wit his car

and how many rocks is in his chain.

Meanwhile yall just get sucked in to his words like a mosquito to a flame

not realizin he treat all his "hoes" just tha same.

damn whats a man to do, what u want me to beat on you

slap u a couple times, call u a b****, or just cheat on you.

or would u rather have man that, ask how your day was,

listen to your problems, and when u sick take care of u.

A man who realize u for the beautiful individual u are

and explore your mind and treat u like a star

Time keep passin and im askin why,

Im still sittin in last place and she keep on passin me by

But imma hold my head high cuz my limits is set beyond tha sky

So go head suit yourself, choose tha playa if u want

cuz when yall in public then u kno that he gon' front

cuz deep down inside i kno u wonderin

y he not holdin ya hand and y he starin at that woman.

and his wonderin eyes dont tell u nothin but lies

ill treat u to a steak dinner he just bring u burgers n fries

And im baffled, whats wrong, and still tha girls is dissin me

yall want a good man but yet yall tha ones who killed chivalry

but naw i aint mad i forgive you, even though u kno not what u do

all tha while im still lonely feelin sad and oh so blue

and u at home alone wonderin where ya man has been

just look at tha bright side, he got some ice and a car

wit some shiny rims that spin

but i hope u feel betta when he leave u in tha cold cuz by then

all tha gentleman will b long gone and blowni in tha wind

im searchin for a woman, thats respectable and true

good personality and her smile lights up tha room

Angelic and her essence brings joy to all who come in contact

a smart educated woman, thats not wonderin where her baby dad's at

seems like alot but i just wanted yall to see

im not lookin for a perfect girl, just one thats perfect for me

so if no girl out ther can luv me for me

Im not gonna stress it cuz i guess i was born,

not to understand,

by lettin her pass,

i proved to be a better man...
