Stereotypes


Stereotypes Whats stereotypes The stereotypes of African Americans that make me want to fight How do you act a color How do you dress a color We are all people, we are no better than one another Diversity, Individuality How come being ya own person is causing some many casualties Why do we say things so hurtful and deceitful Why cant we realize we all the same people Criticism, Hatred, I see this everyday we are all individuals thats what I am here to say We are all equal just as God wanted us to be Because im voicing my thoughts, you going to get mad with me Or you trying to flee from the words of realization Lets open our hearts and lets all be patriots of our nation Lets not result to harming the harmony of a nation that suppose to be a freeland Dont classify none of us like animals or label any man I dont follow these stereotypes, I break them I am my own person, wont allow no one control me like im dumb Lets stand tall in the grace of our gallons of glorious And for centuries on, let's tell our many stories Of how we stood 3,000 plus stories together Un-segregated, holding hands was once an early stage of love and passion Now it's has changed forever with horrible misconceptions
