1
00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:03,543
Boys like us walk by and we shake our heads in disgust

2
00:00:03,543 --> 00:00:04,746
Look at that queen!

3
00:00:04,746 --> 00:00:06,249
That woman!

4
00:00:06,249 --> 00:00:07,770
That cunt!

5
00:00:07,955 --> 00:00:12,134
Disgusted at images that mirror back at and between us

6
00:00:12,134 --> 00:00:14,306
we don't find ourselves worthy

7
00:00:14,306 --> 00:00:16,566
as objects of our own lust

8
00:00:16,997 --> 00:00:18,825
Are we the kind of boys we want?

9
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:20,697
Are we the kind of boys we want?

10
00:00:20,882 --> 00:00:22,965
Are we the kind of boys we want?

11
00:00:23,103 --> 00:00:24,106
And if not?

12
00:00:24,106 --> 00:00:25,510
who will have we?

13
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:26,548
who will have we

14
00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:27,991
who will have we

15
00:00:27,991 --> 00:00:29,421
if we wont have us?

16
00:00:29,421 --> 00:00:34,294
who will have we if we wont have us?

17
00:00:38,886 --> 00:00:43,586
I like men masculine men like a man's man

18
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:50,659
i sorta compress what i'm looking for

19
00:00:50,859 --> 00:00:53,362
i wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone who's feminine

20
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,239
masculine men can be flamboyant as well

21
00:00:56,239 --> 00:00:57,816
p diddy's a perfect example

22
00:00:57,816 --> 00:01:01,457
titles kind of mess us up

23
00:01:01,457 --> 00:01:02,865
like how we interact with each other

24
00:01:02,865 --> 00:01:05,338
how we get along with one another

25
00:01:05,338 --> 00:01:07,609
operative word being "get along" with one another

26
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:12,458
i think that is predicated on how we perceive masculinity and femininity

27
00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:19,717
If we are not the

28
00:01:19,732 --> 00:01:20,687
muscle fitted

29
00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:21,874
doo rag wearing

30
00:01:21,905 --> 00:01:23,428
shoulders sturdy

31
00:01:23,459 --> 00:01:25,153
broad and daring

32
00:01:25,199 --> 00:01:27,171
if we are not the baritone speaking

33
00:01:27,371 --> 00:01:29,678
block motion reaching

34
00:01:29,724 --> 00:01:31,853
testerone jeering

35
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:33,360
black

36
00:01:33,406 --> 00:01:34,363
butch

37
00:01:34,394 --> 00:01:36,034
men

38
00:01:36,034 --> 00:01:37,973
if we are not

39
00:01:37,973 --> 00:01:39,444
if instead we are

40
00:01:39,444 --> 00:01:41,115
limp wrested

41
00:01:41,115 --> 00:01:42,285
high pitched

42
00:01:42,285 --> 00:01:43,555
circular in motion

43
00:01:43,555 --> 00:01:45,628
and dressed with good stitch

44
00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:47,436
if instead we are emotionative

45
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:48,843
and outward

46
00:01:48,843 --> 00:01:51,216
bodies human and beautiful

47
00:01:51,216 --> 00:01:54,104
in imperfect design

48
00:01:54,196 --> 00:01:55,135
if we like to cook

49
00:01:55,135 --> 00:01:55,935
to read

50
00:01:55,966 --> 00:01:56,611
to snap

51
00:01:56,657 --> 00:01:57,433
to snap

52
00:01:57,495 --> 00:01:58,269
to snap!

53
00:01:58,269 --> 00:01:58,769
to snap!

54
00:01:58,769 --> 00:02:00,809
to snap!!!

55
00:02:00,809 --> 00:02:02,949
or to cry

56
00:02:02,949 --> 00:02:03,885
but you

57
00:02:03,885 --> 00:02:04,692
but me

58
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:05,666
but we

59
00:02:05,666 --> 00:02:06,577
but I?

60
00:02:06,577 --> 00:02:09,087
are we the kind of boys we want?

61
00:02:09,272 --> 00:02:13,172
alright so, would u date you?

62
00:02:14,049 --> 00:02:15,952
Um.. would u date yourself?

63
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:17,903
I would not date myself?

64
00:02:17,965 --> 00:02:19,466
I wouldn't date myself

65
00:02:19,558 --> 00:02:20,448
No.

66
00:02:21,038 --> 00:02:23,016
would u date you?

67
00:02:23,016 --> 00:02:24,320
I would?

68
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,824
what about you, would u date yourself?

69
00:02:25,824 --> 00:02:28,254
Yes (Laughs)

70
00:02:30,069 --> 00:02:30,569
Would u date you?

71
00:02:30,569 --> 00:02:31,069
yes.

72
00:02:31,069 --> 00:02:33,651
okay tell me more about that

73
00:02:33,913 --> 00:02:35,389
i mean, its just a yes

74
00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:37,571
i mean we have the same things in common

75
00:02:37,571 --> 00:02:39,502
it means our personalities click

76
00:02:39,502 --> 00:02:41,573
and that means that it's game

77
00:02:41,573 --> 00:02:44,381
i would love to meet someone with the standards that i have

78
00:02:44,381 --> 00:02:48,826
and with the outlook with the outlook

79
00:02:49,088 --> 00:02:51,828
the feeling of freedom that i Have

80
00:02:51,828 --> 00:02:53,174
I know I look good on sight

81
00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:54,243
so if i see me

82
00:02:54,243 --> 00:02:55,919
I'm like God leee!!!

83
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,590
I don't know

84
00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:02,671
cause like i i think i got some stuff i need to work on for myself

85
00:03:02,671 --> 00:03:06,395
but i think, like i said before, if i dated myself being another person

86
00:03:06,395 --> 00:03:11,802
i would have to have a really good understanding of myself

87
00:03:11,802 --> 00:03:15,278
i would really have to spend time with myself and learn myself

88
00:03:15,278 --> 00:03:17,622
now would u date you?

89
00:03:18,253 --> 00:03:20,330
I'd date a more masculine version of me

90
00:03:20,577 --> 00:03:23,440
I would date myself

91
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,359
obviously you would

92
00:03:24,359 --> 00:03:25,279
no

93
00:03:25,279 --> 00:03:29,932
knowing how I am now i would date myself

94
00:03:29,932 --> 00:03:32,085
I'd probably get into a lot of fights with myself

95
00:03:32,331 --> 00:03:35,340
we sit stare out like vultures in need

96
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,952
what drives this desire for the masculinity

97
00:03:37,952 --> 00:03:39,806
of which we feed?

98
00:03:39,991 --> 00:03:42,030
um a few years ago i would have said that

99
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:44,470
i would have never dated another feminine guy

100
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:51,596
but..i guess..i've become in touch with myself more

101
00:03:51,596 --> 00:03:54,571
and i realize you know there are other guys like me

102
00:03:54,571 --> 00:03:56,658
and being that im a good person

103
00:03:56,658 --> 00:03:59,853
i think i'd probably be missing out on someone else

104
00:03:59,853 --> 00:04:02,766
so i open the door to anything

105
00:04:03,028 --> 00:04:05,101
I don't care if you're a top bottom or verse

106
00:04:05,101 --> 00:04:08,415
it shouldn't really matter if you're masculine or feminine

107
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:10,381
if I like you I like you,

108
00:04:10,381 --> 00:04:12,267
but in our community that's not the case

109
00:04:12,359 --> 00:04:16,407
You know as a top, you're supposed to be masculine?

110
00:04:16,638 --> 00:04:18,043
Are we the kind of boys we want?

111
00:04:18,181 --> 00:04:20,114
Are we the kind of boys we want?

112
00:04:20,206 --> 00:04:22,320
Are we the kind of boys we want?

113
00:04:22,397 --> 00:04:23,772
and if not?

114
00:04:23,849 --> 00:04:24,838
who will have we?

115
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:25,970
who will have we?

116
00:04:26,047 --> 00:04:27,006
who will have we

117
00:04:27,068 --> 00:04:27,968
if we won't have us?

118
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:29,360
who will have we

119
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,906
if we wont have us?

120
00:04:37,727 --> 00:04:39,207
My name is Anthony Antoine

121
00:04:39,207 --> 00:04:42,722
and sadly I was never the type of boy i want,

122
00:04:42,722 --> 00:04:44,126
thankfully i grew up,

123
00:04:44,126 --> 00:04:47,014
and i'm definitely the type of man I want

124
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,109
My name is Chase Andrews,

125
00:04:50,109 --> 00:04:52,960
and I am the kind of man I want

126
00:04:53,129 --> 00:04:54,028
I think.

127
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:56,333
My name is Orlando Montford,

128
00:04:56,333 --> 00:05:00,019
and I am working up to becoming the kind of boy I want

129
00:05:00,327 --> 00:05:02,186
My name Is Darian Aaron,

130
00:05:02,186 --> 00:05:04,221
and I am the kind of man i want

131
00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:08,266
When I hear this poem,

132
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,358
"Are we the kind of boys we want"

133
00:05:10,358 --> 00:05:14,242
I think about all of the kinds of boys that i have been

134
00:05:14,396 --> 00:05:18,730
trying to get the boy that i want

135
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:22,572
i've been all the boys in the poem

136
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:26,160
and now i'm just me

137
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,562
and my name is Khalid.

138
00:05:28,562 --> 00:05:30,725
and I am the kind of boy that i want

139
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:32,210
When i hear this poem

140
00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:33,481
i think of all the beautiful boys

141
00:05:33,481 --> 00:05:35,085
waiting to be loved

142
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:36,389
my name is Anye Elite,

143
00:05:36,389 --> 00:05:40,226
and finally, I am the man that i want

144
00:05:41,426 --> 00:05:43,655
my name is Tobias,

145
00:05:43,655 --> 00:05:45,815
and i might just be the kind of man i want!

146
00:05:58,027 --> 00:06:03,308
Circular in motion and dressed with good stitch laughing (Ok)

147
00:06:04,385 --> 00:06:06,314
You can't laugh!

148
00:06:10,312 --> 00:06:13,542
Block motion reaching...

149
00:06:13,542 --> 00:06:14,745
do that one more time

150
00:06:14,745 --> 00:06:15,715
stop stepping out of the camera!

151
00:06:15,715 --> 00:06:17,286
What are you doing?!

152
00:06:17,286 --> 00:06:18,810
It just that your laughing at me man!

153
00:06:22,943 --> 00:06:24,104
Read!

154
00:06:24,104 --> 00:06:25,274
To snap!

155
00:06:25,274 --> 00:06:26,592
Or to lie!!

156
00:06:28,423 --> 00:06:30,745
Do it again do it again

157
00:06:30,745 --> 00:06:31,245
Say it again, what's the line?

158
00:06:31,245 --> 00:06:34,089
we may like to cook to read to snap or to cry

159
00:06:34,089 --> 00:06:35,409
Oh to cry?

160
00:06:35,409 --> 00:06:36,504
Did you say lie or did i?

161
00:06:36,504 --> 00:06:37,340
Naw i didn't say it

162
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:38,687
oh okay give me the line again!

163
00:06:44,573 --> 00:06:46,452
what drives this mas..ugh

164
00:06:53,594 --> 00:06:56,752
My name is Yolo Akili

165
00:06:56,752 --> 00:06:59,420
and when i first wrote this poem

166
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:03,532
I was not the kind of boy that I want

167
00:07:03,532 --> 00:07:07,844
however it feels good to say in this present moment

168
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:12,590
that I am the kind of man that i want

169
00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:14,568
and I want to invite you

170
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:16,024
whoever you are

171
00:07:16,024 --> 00:07:17,910
or wherever you are

172
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:22,392
To Become What You Desire
