A question that seems simple to answer when asked Who are you?
Go down the old fashioned road of birth and parents, siblings and pets, then the moves over my life and what I have achieved and what I plan next. But is that all I want people to hear? Is that all of who I am. So I dug down deep below the exterior to find out who is C?

First I went to what is familiar school, education, where I spent most of my life I should get some validation. They said I was the cream of the crop. The top. What people want. That is great but that means I am just what they need at the moment. Because of my brains people come to gleam my field of knowledge. After it is gone who is going to want what’s left. Am I just a piece of meat or just a cash crop to be used until there is nothing left. Naaa that can’t be who I am.

So who am I?

Then I went to the world and entertainment industry. I hear Nas say I can be who I want to be. . I hear be hard in the streets and getting this paper is what I need. Being soft and mannerable isn’t cutting it. I’ll be Wayne Brady and he makes Brian Gumbell look like Malcom X. . no no that ain’t me. So getting sex and getting high is for what I should strive Then we see babies and their moms pushed to the side. . Strugglin doing odd jobs just to provide. Killing and fighting just to stay on top cause if ya don’t handle ya biz your going to get dropped. . . 6 feet that is. All of that that’s not me . . that’s not C.

So who am I?

Finally I hit the Bible the word from which I was raised. It says I’m more than a conqueror . .nothing can stand in my way. . I am royalty my father is the king of kings and I’m rich. I may go through things but there is nothing that can be fixed. Just have faith to move mountains and make my enemies my footstool cause of the light that shines through me.

So when the question is asked who are you?

I can say . . I may not speak with eloquent speech like Dr. Martin Luther King but I can inspire and use my words to lift people higher. I may not sing like Trey and make the girls weak. But I can say a lil something sweet to sweep them off their feet, something like
♫“Since you’ve been gone I just can’t seem to get by, And I love you more than you’ll ever know”♫

I am an African American but that does not make me a statistic, like being an unmarried man neglecting my kids living off a welfare plan. I am a conqueror and strong yet can be smooth and gentle like silk sheets rubbing across your legs and feet. A comic in his own right cause your’re going to learn something about me today!! Alright alright alriiiiight. All of these things are embodied in one person and that is me C. And that my friends is who I am.

Peace.
