Do you give a thought to what you say
Always use words in a different way
Does God even understand you when you pray
Don't want to be no one's boss
Have no reason to control it all
Only those things close to my heart
No longer can I be happy today
Now it became an orientational social name
To be gay will never mean the same.
Don't want to be no one's boss
Have no reason to have the control of you
You're not a minstrel you don't have to shine my shoes
Innocent words use as racial slurs
Generational slave mentality in just one word
You have to make mistakes before you learn.
Don't want to be on one's boss
Have nothing to prove
Just call me brother or friend

I might not fully understand the context of your comment. But the word BOSS is so overused and miss understood its definition is a person in charge of a worker or organization. It comes from the Dutch language BAAS and in America, it was used to replace another word MASTER because it was too reminiscent of the slavery past. I find it more of annoyance word when being called that so I see it as the person saying it is more disrespecting themselves than the one that they are saying it to. When writing poetry I do some research when using metaphors on a topic. So what I am saying with the poem respect your self just as much as you respect others.
