Cant Clamar Black Thought Killer

Ala says he never had an identity issue. It was other people who couldn't accept it. They didn't like the fact that i understand anim of the culture. And yet, you know, this is the shade. We call it ultra light skin. But i feel like, a, that was extremely difficult. I'm blacked and black, black, as beautiful black as this. The good always outweighs the bad. At anything you can be interested in, you'll find others who are. That's what i found in in hippop i found other nerts, you know.

That's not true. I whole heartedly can. Ah, but this this concept of life you ought to have tough skin, like, don't. I'm an emotional human being. I'm a man who's in touch with a, you know, the essence of his feelings. And these are the things that i wrap about. And if you tell me that you think my kid should die and my wife's that's going to make me feel a certain type of way. So i'd rather just not even read that or be on the internet. And because of that, ah, then there's a result of the internet, which is pay to play. So it's like, i have six million plus a, i don't know, followers on ansegram, whatever that means, which i used to equate to worth and self worth.

You know, those feelings that i was feeling, i decideid, no, it's not worth it. I have a corps fan base who all follow me on spotfy, and can't leave a bunch of comments.

And i, i wrote a book called the mask of masculinity, because it was breaking down the dfferent masks that men put on to feel axcepted, to fit into society, with their friend group, with their family, with school, whatever it may be.
