Swagg. Everyone swears they got it. And many would do any damn thing to act like they got it.
I think a lot of us got it twisted, however. Swagg has nothing to do with the brand of your clothes and how you wear your hair. It isn't based off of materials at all. Swagg is within...no joke. Either you got the shit or you don't. And too many of us spending a whole lot of time and money on an element that just can't be bought in stores. So stop it.
Let's first identify what it means to our society for someone to have no swagg. A straight lame. Who, in the eyes of our society, talks like a lame, dresses lame and just gives off lame ass vibes when they're around. You know, the Steve Urkels of the world. Well here's my "lame" opinion about those types: that's their swagg! And because it isn't the swagg that society deems as "cool", hell, it's who they are. But here's the confusion...it's not so much of who they are based off of what we see. It's who they are based off of what we feel when they're around.
You see, somewhere down the line, we began to equate swagg with our possessions. Fancy cars, that's swagger. Gucci sneakers, that's swagger. Mohawks and dreads, that's swagger. Not at all my loves. That's stuff and styles...it may improve our looks, make us feel good and attract people, but it is not us. When it all comes down to it, swagg is who you are. It's the air that you give off when folks come around you. And that, like personalities, varies from person to person. So there's no particular swagger we all need to try to achieve. You already have it. Only time your swagger is lame is when it's not true to who you really are. Fakes and phonies; that's lame as hell.
We give swagg recognition to some of the most unattractive people and truly...they have swagg. It's about integrity, sex appeal and demeanor. And when you can dress up some integrity and throw some sexy shoes on demeanor, holla at me. Until then,embrace your own swagg and just be. And nobody does that better than you.
Love,
Vee
