Y’all Better Quit Letting Those Tat
Y’all better quit letting those tat run things like they own the place. It’s wild how quick folks forget who’s really in charge. Back in the day, people stood for something. Now it seems like all it takes is a little flash, a little noise, and suddenly, everybody’s listening to the wrong voices.
The “tat”—you know the type. Loud, messy, always stirring something up. They’re the ones who talk the most but say the least. They’ve got opinions on everything, solutions for nothing, and somehow still manage to sway a crowd. It’s not because they’re right—it’s because they’re relentless. Always posting, always talking, always demanding attention. And folks fall for it every time.
But y’all better quit letting them steer the ship. They don’t care where we end up, only that they get to sit at the wheel. You think they’re helping? Nah. They’re just loud enough to drown out the ones who actually know what they’re doing. That’s the real danger—not ignorance, but noise. Noise that sounds like leadership, but ain’t. Noise that looks like courage, but folds the minute things get real.
See, leadership doesn’t come from shouting the loudest or calling people out online. It comes from listening, from showing up, from doing the work when no one’s watching. But those tat? They thrive on attention, not action. They’ll burn the whole thing down just to warm their hands. And we let ‘em. We hand them the mic, the spotlight, the steering wheel. Then we act surprised when things go sideways.
It’s time to reclaim our space. Time to stop mistaking drama for direction. Time to start lifting up the quiet ones—the thoughtful ones. The ones who’ve been working behind the scenes, putting in the time, building bridges instead of tearing them down. They don’t always speak first, but when they do, it matters. They don’t move fast, but they move right.
Y’all better quit letting those tat make the rules. Quit giving them your likes, your shares, your votes. Quit treating noise like wisdom. The world’s too complicated, too fragile, to be run by chaos merchants. We need people with backbone, not just bravado. People who care more about others than their own brand. People who can lead with both strength and grace.
So next time someone comes around spitting hot takes and stirring the pot, ask yourself: Are they building something, or just trying to be seen? Are they leading with purpose, or just chasing clout?
Because at the end of the day, it’s on us. We decide who we follow. We decide whose voices matter. And if we keep letting those tat run wild, we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves.
