Role model
A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. The term "role model" is credited to sociologist Robert K. Merton, who coined the phrase during his career. Merton hypothesized that individuals compare themselves with reference groups of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires. An example being the way fans (oftentimes youth) will idolize and imitate professional athletes or entertainment artists.
In the second half of the twentieth century, U.S. advocates for workplace equity popularized the term and concept of role models as part of a larger social capital lexicon—which also includes terms such as glass ceiling, networking, mentoring, and gatekeeper—serving to identify and address the problems barring non-dominant groups from professional success. Mainstream business literature subsequently adopted the terms and concepts, promoting them as pathways to success for all career climbers. In 1970 these terms were not in the general American vocabulary; by the mid-1990s they had become part of everyday speech. Although the term "role model" has been criticized more recently as "outdated", the term and its associated responsibility remains prominent in the public consciousness as a commonly used phrase, and a "powerful presence" in the entertainment industry and media.

Role Model
by: FreesolCome here baby, tell me what you doing with him?
I bet you'll want me once you catch up to my rythym
You gotta pay attention to me like a symptom
This shit got me amped up, ritalin
Now don't be fool, I ball like a laker
I wipe that smelly shit away like erasers
And I never missed the mark like a maker
But you know I'm from the south, yeah yer
Maybe me standing here this is evolved
Maybe you should be more like me, involved
I'm going hard like the opposite of soft
Now clap on applause
Maybe you just mad cause I am who you wanna be
Maybe I'm a canvas you paint what you wanna see
Maybe you're right, maybe I'm an asshole
Oops, did I take it too far? Super bowl
I'm a still grab my balls, I'm on a roll
Yeah I'm that white boy shooting free throws
Automatic, Kobe but 2 to go
You need a role model, fuck it, you can play the role
Freeze, now put your fingers up
I got a rocket in my pocket,
Everybody on their knees
That means I make the rules so pay attention to me
You don't want to piss me off
Cause I might fuck around and squeeze
You can get you some of these nuts
Cause I'm going in my own direction
If you don't like it you can cut your tv off
Do it at your own discretion
And no apologies I'm on one soaking love
Role model, a role model, a role model
I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model
Role model, a role model, a role model
I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model
You need a role model, fuck it, you can play the role
You need a role model, fuck it, you can play the role
Freeze, you think I give a damn or worry about what these suckers think of me
Baby my name is Free and I do whatever I please
So keep it pretty, these bitches 7 inches away from me
Or they might end up on these, nuts
Cause I'm going in my own direction
If you don't like it you can cut your tv off
You can view it at your own discretion
And no apologies I'm on one soaking love
Role model, a role model, a role model
I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model
Role model, a role model, a role model
I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model
I ain't your mama, your daddy, your granny, cousin or uncle
In fact, I don't even know you, you follow me on my Twitter
But that don't mean that you know me
So tell me how did you figured that I'm supposed to be bigger
And try to handle my temper
But if you knew me remember, the 25 of December,
When I... from the... and then... preacher
And yes I'm breaking some habits, no matter how hard you push
You can judge me or love me
Or you can grow you some nuts
Cause I'm going in my own direction
If you don't like it you can cut your tv off
You can view it at your own discretion
And no apologies I'm on one soaking love
Role model, a role model, a role model
I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model
Role model, a role model, a role model [x2]
You need a role model, fuck it, you can play the role
You need a role model, fuck it, you can play the role.
