Off The Dome

Wanted

a G-Q nigga,

a top notch nigga,

a nigga that's not afraid to play hop-scotch nigga,

a nigga with everlasting ties to the strret,

a nigga that wears Timberlands even when the summer brings heat.

I mean a nigga that's cool,

finished school,

and I'm speaking of college,

with just enough knowledge to know when to shut up,

a nigga that knows how it feels to be down on his luck,

but won''t be stuck in the past.

OK, OK, he gotta be able to wax that ass,

in more ways than one.

A fun type nigga like Jay-Z, Busta,Tyrese, or Tigga,

hell, I'd even take Eminem, if he can live up to my definitoin of a nigga.

As you can see I don't discriminate,

I can't wait any longer,

could it be you or him?

I'm stepping out on a whim here.

Oh yeah look there I almost forgot....

A thug type nigga that kinda acts like a snob,

a sometimes lazy motherfucker but he always has a job.

A bended knee nigga, I mean one that prays,

a sentimental type cat that always remembers birthdays.

A nigga with a heart,

a nigga with a soul, a nigga that does what it takes to acheive his lifelong goals.

A nigga that's talented,

that can make the best bowl of cereal in the world,

a nigga that appreciates a woman,

and won't settle for little girls.

I'm posting this ad on ever corner and streetlight.

In hopes that one day the answerer(is this a word), will one day be right.

I know this might sound funny,

and really I'm not trying to flaunt it,

but once in while women have to go out of their way to

meet the nigga that they wanted.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

wouldn't it be funny to see this on your block?

Great poem. I know it's written a while back, but sounds like you're just looking for a decent man with a good head on his shoulders and not afraid to treat a woman with respect..
