Statistics

I utterly respect Lyfe Jennings. He's one of the very few hip-hop/R&B male artists actually saying something with his lyrics and trying to better his target audience. He speaks about love--real love, practical love, tough love, lost love... He's just great. Some of his songs include: Must Be Nice, Hypothetically, Never Never Land, and S.E.X. (a personal favorite of mine). Seriously, check him out. His music is smooth, very easy to listen to.

Well, Lyfe has a new song. Statistics. This song is, for lack of a better word, scary. Here's a bit of the lyrics:

25% of all men are unstable
25% of all men can't be faithful
30% don't mean what they say
10% of the remaining 20% are gay
that leaves you with a 10% chance of ever finding your man.

15% of all men got a complex
15% don't practice safe sex
20% come from a home without a father
so you have a 50/50 chance of marrying a coward.

Now I don't know where Lyfe got his information from or if he's talking specifically about Black men, American men, or what. Still... 1 in 4 chance of infidelity? 1 in 2 chance of marrying a coward (which, he's really unclear as to what that could mean). Eep. And let's not even talk about the 15% of men practicing unsafe sex...

Just something to think about...
