Grown-A$$ Man.
What does it mean?
It means I ain t got time to play no nonsense.
For one thing, it means I don t wear baggy pants sagging off my bootie. I can t let you see my underwear label. That s not cute. I m a grown-a$$ man.
Grown-a$$ man is more than a catch phrase. It s a way of life. It s a perspective.
Say you got a younger cousin. He s got one of those ghetto nicknames. He calls himself Delicious. Says, Hey, call me Delicious. You say: Listen, I m a grown-a$$ man. I ain t going to call a guy Delicious.
Making love is no longer a full time occupation, not the way it once was. I used to do it all night, but now it takes me all night to do it. It s not that I don t like sex, but I m a grown-a$$ man. I got other things to do.
You know those 500 mile walkathon people? I m a grown-a$$ man. I got a driver s license.
*****
Cedric the Entertainer has sold out major theaters across America, starred in Spike Lee s hit movie The Original Kings of Comedy, added his lovable appeal to the WB s The Steve Harvey Show, and his Bud Light commercial was voted the #1 ad on the Super Bowl. Now in Grown-A$$ Man his laugh-out-loud, first ever book he proudly presents the very best of his unique brand of comedy.
Here s the red-hot comic in all his hilarity, talking about everything from old music vs. new ( I like Big, curl-ain t-quite-right Luther. His curl never really curled all the way over. Always concerned me. ) to the pain of political correctness ( You can t even smoke cigarettes on Earth now. You got to leave Earth to do it. ) to the differences between black people and white folks. He talks about the influences that shaped him while growing up in small town Missouri, a town so small anyone could whip your butt, not just your mama. In Grown-A$$ Man, you ll see the many faces of Cedric, all outrageously funny and delivered with his trademark warmth and wit.
