Beyonce Has No Idea How Big My Ego Is

Dear Beyonce,
There are a few things that I need to get off my chest, and I figured the best way to express them in an organized manner was to write you a letter. At this point, the excitement has died down over your latest single, “Ego.” But before the American public completely moves on to something new, I did want to share this…
My “ego” is a lot bigger than you may think.
Now that isn’t an attempt to brag on the amount of money in my pocket, or the depth of my crotch (since both serve as the basis of your song.) Instead, it speaks to a steadfast belief that my “ego” is derived from qualities that have been inside of me since I was 8-years-old. It was at that point that my mother began to instill in me the true definition of what it means to be a man. She had no doubt that her son would one day grow up to be successful, and possess the ability to financially support his family. But her concern was more about my inner qualities. She wanted to make sure that I was defined by more than just money and sex. So she poured into me the value of faith, love, strength, peace and loyalty—all of which are more important qualities than the ability to be “too big, or too wide.”
My mother succeeded.
But now, I can’t help but be disheartened by the men and women who listen to your song, and to the songs of others, and use those two qualities as a barometer to determine who’s a real man, and who isn’t. If only there was a way to get them to understand that money comes and goes, and that age will one day strip them of their ability to be “the man” in the bedroom. If and when that happens, what then?
That’s precisely my point.
There has to be a way to show the world that the “substance” of a man is far more important than his “show.” In many ways, I’m sure it was those qualities, and not the ones from your song that led you to walk down the aisle and say “I do.” More people need to understand that. And that can only happen if we start working together on this. Do we have a deal? I sure hope so.

P.S. Tell your mother that Mr. Thunder said what’s up … she’ll know who you’re talking about
