0:00:00.220,0:00:03.543
Boys like us walk by and we shake our heads in disgust

0:00:03.543,0:00:04.746
Look at that queen!

0:00:04.746,0:00:06.249
That woman!

0:00:06.249,0:00:07.770
That cunt!

0:00:07.955,0:00:12.134
Disgusted at images that mirror back at and between us

0:00:12.134,0:00:14.306
we don't find ourselves worthy

0:00:14.306,0:00:16.566
as objects of our own lust

0:00:16.997,0:00:18.825
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:00:19.010,0:00:20.697
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:00:20.882,0:00:22.965
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:00:23.103,0:00:24.106
And if not?

0:00:24.106,0:00:25.510
who will have we?

0:00:25.510,0:00:26.548
who will have we

0:00:26.548,0:00:27.991
who will have we

0:00:27.991,0:00:29.421
if we wont have us?

0:00:29.421,0:00:34.294
who will have we if we wont have us?

0:00:38.886,0:00:43.586
I like men masculine men like a man's man

0:00:48.298,0:00:50.659
i sorta compress what i'm looking for

0:00:50.859,0:00:53.362
i wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone who's feminine

0:00:53.500,0:00:56.239
masculine men can be flamboyant as well

0:00:56.239,0:00:57.816
p diddy's a perfect example

0:00:57.816,0:01:01.457
titles kind of mess us up

0:01:01.457,0:01:02.865
like how we interact with each other

0:01:02.865,0:01:05.338
how we get along with one another

0:01:05.338,0:01:07.609
operative word being "get along" with one another

0:01:07.609,0:01:12.458
i think that is predicated on how we perceive masculinity and femininity

0:01:18.299,0:01:19.717
If we are not the

0:01:19.732,0:01:20.687
muscle fitted

0:01:20.733,0:01:21.874
doo rag wearing

0:01:21.905,0:01:23.428
shoulders sturdy

0:01:23.459,0:01:25.153
broad and daring

0:01:25.199,0:01:27.171
if we are not the baritone speaking

0:01:27.371,0:01:29.678
block motion reaching

0:01:29.724,0:01:31.853
testerone jeering

0:01:31.884,0:01:33.360
black

0:01:33.406,0:01:34.363
butch

0:01:34.394,0:01:36.034
men

0:01:36.034,0:01:37.973
if we are not

0:01:37.973,0:01:39.444
if instead we are

0:01:39.444,0:01:41.115
limp wrested

0:01:41.115,0:01:42.285
high pitched

0:01:42.285,0:01:43.555
circular in motion

0:01:43.555,0:01:45.628
and dressed with good stitch

0:01:45.628,0:01:47.436
if instead we are emotionative

0:01:47.700,0:01:48.843
and outward

0:01:48.843,0:01:51.216
bodies human and beautiful

0:01:51.216,0:01:54.104
in imperfect design

0:01:54.196,0:01:55.135
if we like to cook

0:01:55.135,0:01:55.935
to read

0:01:55.966,0:01:56.611
to snap

0:01:56.657,0:01:57.433
to snap

0:01:57.495,0:01:58.269
to snap!

0:01:58.269,0:01:58.769
to snap!

0:01:58.769,0:02:00.809
to snap!!!

0:02:00.809,0:02:02.949
or to cry

0:02:02.949,0:02:03.885
but you

0:02:03.885,0:02:04.692
but me

0:02:04.692,0:02:05.666
but we

0:02:05.666,0:02:06.577
but I?

0:02:06.577,0:02:09.087
are we the kind of boys we want?

0:02:09.272,0:02:13.172
alright so, would u date you?

0:02:14.049,0:02:15.952
Um.. would u date yourself?

0:02:16.090,0:02:17.903
I would not date myself?

0:02:17.965,0:02:19.466
I wouldn't date myself

0:02:19.558,0:02:20.448
No.

0:02:21.038,0:02:23.016
would u date you?

0:02:23.016,0:02:24.320
I would?

0:02:24.320,0:02:25.824
what about you, would u date yourself?

0:02:25.824,0:02:28.254
Yes (Laughs)

0:02:30.069,0:02:30.569
Would u date you?

0:02:30.569,0:02:31.069
yes.

0:02:31.069,0:02:33.651
okay tell me more about that

0:02:33.913,0:02:35.389
i mean, its just a yes

0:02:35.389,0:02:37.571
i mean we have the same things in common

0:02:37.571,0:02:39.502
it means our personalities click

0:02:39.502,0:02:41.573
and that means that it's game

0:02:41.573,0:02:44.381
i would love to meet someone with the standards that i have

0:02:44.381,0:02:48.826
and with the outlook with the outlook

0:02:49.088,0:02:51.828
the feeling of freedom that i Have

0:02:51.828,0:02:53.174
I know I look good on sight

0:02:53.174,0:02:54.243
so if i see me

0:02:54.243,0:02:55.919
I'm like God leee!!!

0:02:55.919,0:02:57.590
I don't know

0:02:57.590,0:03:02.671
cause like i i think i got some stuff i need to work on for myself

0:03:02.671,0:03:06.395
but i think, like i said before, if i dated myself being another person

0:03:06.395,0:03:11.802
i would have to have a really good understanding of myself

0:03:11.802,0:03:15.278
i would really have to spend time with myself and learn myself

0:03:15.278,0:03:17.622
now would u date you?

0:03:18.253,0:03:20.330
I'd date a more masculine version of me

0:03:20.577,0:03:23.440
I would date myself

0:03:23.440,0:03:24.359
obviously you would

0:03:24.359,0:03:25.279
no

0:03:25.279,0:03:29.932
knowing how I am now i would date myself

0:03:29.932,0:03:32.085
I'd probably get into a lot of fights with myself

0:03:32.331,0:03:35.340
we sit stare out like vultures in need

0:03:35.340,0:03:37.952
what drives this desire for the masculinity

0:03:37.952,0:03:39.806
of which we feed?

0:03:39.991,0:03:42.030
um a few years ago i would have said that

0:03:42.030,0:03:44.470
i would have never dated another feminine guy

0:03:44.670,0:03:51.596
but..i guess..i've become in touch with myself more

0:03:51.596,0:03:54.571
and i realize you know there are other guys like me

0:03:54.571,0:03:56.658
and being that im a good person

0:03:56.658,0:03:59.853
i think i'd probably be missing out on someone else

0:03:59.853,0:04:02.766
so i open the door to anything

0:04:03.028,0:04:05.101
I don't care if you're a top bottom or verse

0:04:05.101,0:04:08.415
it shouldn't really matter if you're masculine or feminine

0:04:08.415,0:04:10.381
if I like you I like you,

0:04:10.381,0:04:12.267
but in our community that's not the case

0:04:12.359,0:04:16.407
You know as a top, you're supposed to be masculine?

0:04:16.638,0:04:18.043
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:04:18.181,0:04:20.114
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:04:20.206,0:04:22.320
Are we the kind of boys we want?

0:04:22.397,0:04:23.772
and if not?

0:04:23.849,0:04:24.838
who will have we?

0:04:24.931,0:04:25.970
who will have we?

0:04:26.047,0:04:27.006
who will have we

0:04:27.068,0:04:27.968
if we won't have us?

0:04:28.368,0:04:29.360
who will have we

0:04:29.760,0:04:31.906
if we wont have us?

0:04:37.727,0:04:39.207
My name is Anthony Antoine

0:04:39.207,0:04:42.722
and sadly I was never the type of boy i want,

0:04:42.722,0:04:44.126
thankfully i grew up,

0:04:44.126,0:04:47.014

My name is Orlando Montford,

0:04:56.333,0:05:00.019

0:05:00.327,0:05:02.186
My name Is Darian Aaron,

0:05:02.186,0:05:04.221
and I am the kind of man i want

0:05:04.590,0:05:08.266
When I hear this poem,

0:05:08.266,0:05:10.358
"Are we the kind of boys we want"

0:05:10.358,0:05:14.242
I think about all of the kinds of boys that i have been

0:05:14.396,0:05:18.730
trying to get the boy that i want

0:05:19.068,0:05:22.572
i've been all the boys in the poem

0:05:22.572,0:05:26.160
and now i'm just me

and my name is Khalid.

0:05:28.562,0:05:30.725
and I am the kind of boy that i want

0:05:30.940,0:05:32.210
When i hear this poem

0:05:32.210,0:05:33.481
i think of all the beautiful boys

0:05:33.481,0:05:35.085
waiting to be loved

0:05:35.085,0:05:36.389
my name is Anye Elite,

0:05:36.389,0:05:40.226
and finally, I am the man that i want

0:05:41.426,0:05:43.655
my name is Tobias,

0:05:43.655,0:05:45.815
and i might just be the kind of man i want!

0:05:58.027,0:06:03.308
Circular in motion and dressed with good stitch laughing (Ok)

0:06:04.385,0:06:06.314
You can't laugh!

0:06:10.312,0:06:13.542
Block motion reaching...

0:06:13.542,0:06:14.745
do that one more time

0:06:14.745,0:06:15.715
stop stepping out of the camera!

0:06:15.715,0:06:17.286
What are you doing?!

0:06:17.286,0:06:18.810
It just that your laughing at me man!

0:06:22.943,0:06:24.104
Read!

0:06:24.104,0:06:25.274
To snap!

0:06:25.274,0:06:26.592
Or to lie!!

0:06:28.423,0:06:30.745
Do it again do it again

0:06:30.745,0:06:31.245
Say it again, what's the line?

0:06:31.245,0:06:34.089
we may like to cook to read to snap or to cry

0:06:34.089,0:06:35.409
Oh to cry?

0:06:35.409,0:06:36.504
Did you say lie or did i?

0:06:36.504,0:06:37.340
Naw i didn't say it

0:06:37.340,0:06:38.687
oh okay give me the line again!

0:06:44.573,0:06:46.452
what drives this mas..ugh

0:06:53.594,0:06:56.752
My name is Yolo Akili

0:06:56.752,0:06:59.420
and when i first wrote this poem

0:06:59.420,0:07:03.532
I was not the kind of boy that I want

0:07:03.532,0:07:07.844
however it feels good to say in this present moment

0:07:07.844,0:07:12.590
that I am the kind of man that i want

0:07:12.590,0:07:14.568
and I want to invite you

0:07:14.568,0:07:16.024
