Stereotypes of a Jamaican Boy
Awww man
I just dont understand
All these stereotypes
About a Jamaican man
People call me violent
They say i am worth nothing
They call me petty
They say i'm not good at anything
Burt swinging a machete
They say i am angry
And i am mean
Beacuse at times
i'm a loner
And they say i pride myself
at being a stoner
But of all the stereotype
They throw at my plate
The one that say we all smoke
Is the one
I most loathe
At the start of 10th grade
I was introducing myself to the folk
in my class
Described myself
And said that
I never and would never
do drugs
in the present, futer nor past
Suddenly this loud voice spoke
He said
What? man, that gotta be a joke
Your Jamaican so
You gotta smoke
I was offended and upset
I wanted to get
My fist next
To his face
But if i did that
They would all be right
And i'lld be a disgrace
So whenever i here those stereotypes
I just laugh
Because if those were what defined a Jamiacn
I guess i would be a rear man
From the islands.
