Stereotypes

They say black people ain’t shit

Your skins too dark

Your such a whore

Black people can’t keep their bodies covered

They can’t be successful because black people are too dumb

We’re not, it’s you who’s dumb, fast, aint shit

Bc if you were, you wouldn’t be trying to put me down

It you who is the thief, loud, and aggressive

It’s you who’s a thug but on the inside isn’t that correct??

Your fear isn’t taking over

Your too bold

But not for long

They say stereotypes wouldn’t be so bad if black people were nicer in general.

Well how ‘bout you be a little nicer

Their not worried why?

Bc THEY dont get followed all through the store when they enter

They don’t get judged by the clothes they wear, rarely

It is them who doesn’t have to watch their back when they walk down the street every night

They don’t have their community decreasing daily due to police brutality

Police brutality what’s that never seen it

FORGET THAT

Police brutality they know what it is

They act Dumb

Then when it’s time, you throw us under the bus

I thought we were friends

Guess not

Thought we had a bond

Guess not

It is them who judges us due to our darker skin, our melanin

But they just want attention right?

Right?

They just want us to feel down so they could feel better

Well i got something to say

I say

FORGET THAT

Because it’s them who feels the remorse inside especially if we don’t pay attention to them.
