Lyrics

As Black men in America Our beauty is both demonized And fetishized at the same time You know people look at us And they're afraid Our very presence Is considered dangerous Or threatening And yet people are also filled with Jealousy or lustful fantasies Because of racists myths about our bodies You think it's feminine To struggle wit your self image So you lying every summer Say you hate swimming Yous a dolphin undercover Just embarrassed of your flubber Feelin like a turkey In front of these fly women You liftin everyday But never getting bigger Eating steak drinking shakes Still a stick figure If real men protect You get knocked out in a sec Guess you aint really a man Less you flex triggers You rocking beanies Even in the summertime Cause your confidence is fading Wit your hairline Been receding since a teen Plus you short with crooked teeth Funny dude But never cheesin' on your profile Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Young man Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Young man Aint no ugly billionaire Says the wisdom of Hov So you on a mission To make your residuals grow Stackin money steady rocking The expensivest clothes And you finally get attention From the women you know Now you caught a couple feelings But won't open ya soul Scared that she don't want your heart Unless it comes wit ya dough So you ghost her out of fear Say she digging for gold Didn't know that she was ride or die Wealthy or po Now you standing in the mirror But you look at the flo Cause you hate your own reflection Won't admit to it though Really wishing you was handsome With a confident glow Wanting love but forever screaming Money over hoes Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Young man Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Young man Got a body all your homies Really jealous of But you still need validation From the rest of us Run through women like a track Every selfie showing abs Cause your confidence dependent On another's lust Never cheating on your diet You addicted to gyms And you started doping Cause you close to peaking again Stronger than you ever been Manliest of the men Paranoid of getting older Losing power and strength Never been more insecure Than at the top of your game Cause you got a lot to lose Wit all the muscle you gained So confused You thought this would put an end to ya pain Still feel like your younger days Getting bullied and chased Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man You're beautiful Young man You're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful Young man You're beautiful Young man You're beautiful I guess another thing Just like girls need aunties You know Boys need role models The forming of who they are I like it when my boys Talk to you I like it when they Hang out with their dad And my brothers And people who We respect their opinions Because I expect their Image of self to be formed by These people Sometimes I tell you Oh the kids said this Because you said it That makes me happy Because I know that helps To fortify their perception Of who they are
