I sit and wonder tonight about the kid I am. Honestly I’ll admit to you guys now I’m a very stubborn person. I’m stubborn because I don’t know when to tell myself to give up. I’ll admit to you that I’m rough around the edges. Looks wise…I have thick framed glasses, I don’t have abs, my pecs could do some work, my acne is beyond crazy, my hair is a lifesized mushroom, and I got a massive overbite. What do you think I have to say about that? Nothing. Those things make me who I am. They used to be my insecurities, and people made fun of me externally because of them but now I’m proud. Plain proud. With that being said, I can steal your girlfriend in a heartbeat. I say that with confident because that’s what chicks like your girlfriend dig about me. My boy Jason talked to me one day and truthfully told me I could get any girl I want. That’s some true ish. I can. I’m a cute ass dude, my swag is off the meter. My snazz is to die for, woahdere. Aside from that, I’m a cool dude that can hold a conversation about anything. My ear is there, and I’m open to say a word. I still have much more to learn and experience but that’s the COOL THING ABOUT ME in my opinion. I’m real and if I don’t know something I’m willing to sit and have you talk to me about it. I’ll do the most outlandish things. I might not have anything but I’ll give you EVERYTHING. That goes for friends too. Anybody could be my friend, I’m a cool cat that accepts everybody. Wanna know why? Because nobody growing up was like that for me. I never had that cool kid around the block I could talk to about girls. I never had that cool kid to talk to about the real world, until I became that kid and experienced it alone. I channeled my experiences to music, started teaching younger kids, and had a couple girls like me for it. Wanna know why though?

Because the kid I am…is REAL.

I don’t gotta have tats. I don’t gotta have abs. I don’t gotta have a baby face. 

I’m okay with my body, and I’m okay with the way I rock, because I LIKE IT.

I look at the past ex-boyfriends all the girls I’ve rocked with had and I looked nothing like them. Stuff like that makes me smile knowing that the dude I am can get me so far.

Music wise it has too. These kids see that I’m not like every rap artist. That’s why they rock with me. They love the personna, they love the voice, they love the realness. I’m raw like that. I’ve grown to be somebody I could be proud of. Hence “Pryde”.

But anyway, I hope you had a nice read. I’m sipping OJ and currently had a “…damn, this dude totally surpasses my swag” moment. Then I thought to myself, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…You must be kidding, you’ve made it this far Russell. Quit being a drag. Look at what you have.

Message to ya’ll? Be happy with you, and also learn. To be perfect is to not live. Learning forever means living forever so always be up to admitting when you’re wrong, and also admitting that the world is too big for you to take over. Explore it, and adore it. Be real. People love that, and you live more like that.

I’m outtie. Peace troops.
