Stereotypes


Ahmed kassim 

 

making fun fun of where we came from 

 

                                      Trying to make us feel the shame 

 

based on some they judg the whole nation 

 

                                    And for their acts we get the blame 

 

I was so happy that I am here 

 

                           But now I wish I never came 

 

we’re the reason for everything wrong 

 

                               That’s what they say and what they clai. 

 

And for everything wrong they do 

 

                            They just put us in the frame 

 

but no we are not going to shut up 

 

                                And to end this we will aim 

 

yes they laugh at us because we’re different 

        

                                            But we laugh at them because they are the same 

 

stereotypes are like an aggressive animal 

 

                                          And that animal we will tame 

 

we need to stop it at the moment 

        

                        Because it’s driving me insane
