Am I bougie and stuck up

Because I want to be a success?

Because I wear suits and speak with manners

And don’t let trivial stuff cause me stress?

Am I bougie and stuck up

Because I don’t respond to you quickly?

Everything doesn’t revolve around you.

You better hold on and wait your turn.

Am I bougie and stuck up

Because I don’t marry

when you think I should?

Because I have goals

that you don’t know about

And challenges that are misunderstood?

Am I bougie and stuck up

Because I choose to be my own man

By going against the grain of popular opinion

With a mind state

of creating my own brand?

People despise who they can’t conquer.

And label who they can’t figure out.                     .

What’s wrong with having some substance?

What’s wrong with choosing a godly route?

Is it incorrect to be a leader?

Shouldn’t we blaze a trail

when given the latitude?

God gave all of us free will.

Of course, it’s your choice

if you don’t like my attitude.

Step out of the box and try new foods.

Save money and travel to different places.

See how other people do things.

Everything doesn’t revolve

around your homeostasis.

Calling someone bougie

may just mean

That the name caller

is bitter and miserable at heart.

Our lives are not over by any chance.

We just have to learn from mistakes,

Vow not to repeat them,

And move forward

with the word “progress”

At the forefront of our thought process.
