Shawn The Writer

From new kicks,

To new friends,

First kiss and fist fights,

Early mornings and late nights,

This is what shapes a boy to stand straight.

From listening to Pops speak,


To hearing pops down the streets,
Learning gang signs and handshakes,
Shaking the hand of your first boss,


This is what shapes a boy to be well rounded.

From Music videos,

To Surreal vision,

Amateur hour and all star weekend,

Being full without homies eatin

This is what shapes a boy to keep moving.

From OutKast

To Wu-Tang

Roasting sessions and lunch cyphers

Hidden talents and talent shows

This is what shapes a boy to stand out.

From Funerals

To Graduation

Becoming “My brother’s keeper” and losing a friend

Getting left alone and finding yourself

This is the shaping of a boy.
