MY Stereotype


I am different,

But not why you think.

Sure I live in South Central,

but I don't smoke, and I don't drink.

 

I'm not ghetto, and I'm not in a gang.

Although it's tough, I manage to hang.

Don't judge me on where I'm from,

Because my journey has just begun

 

I wish to pursue my education,

to improve my generation.

I'm just as good as others, if not more

Although they may be closed, I can open the doors

 

So don't look at me as inferior,

See me as competition.

For I won't just run against you,

I'll win this election
