Pedro Rosario Poet I do not know?

Label Me

Tired of everyone playing 
all there silly games
Callin me and labeling me
all these names
 
They call me a thug
they call me a player
When all in all 
they themselves don't have a prayer
 
They are quick to judge
when they don't know me
What have I ever done to them
why don't they let me be
 
I walk down the street
hear what they say
Why don't they say it to my face
come out and play
 
Since the day I was born
I was looked down upon on
From the way I dressed and also looked
I still stand strong
 
But people still try to punch me down
call me what they can
They try to break me down
from being a man
 
Why so much disapproval of me
what have I done
I never thought being human can hurt
or being one of gods sons
 
I've prayed to god to forgive me
for all my deadly sins
He has resurrected me now
with a better life to begin
 
So now I stand strong
as I brush off my shoulder
No longer getting younger
getting a lil bit older
 
I have knowledge on my side
this world is not a dream
Listen to me now as I voice my power
and begin to scream
 
Label me what you want to label me
I'm not going no where
I am what I am no matter what you think
or even tend to care
 
I come from a humble home
where everyone is respected
But cross us the wrong way
you will be corrected
 
Since I been young I have fought
to be where I am now
Look thru these eyes and see
its an epic performance as I take a bow
 
I have struggled thru thick and thin
bled my own blood and tears
Had broken bones and all
thru all these years
 
Label me if you must label me
is what I must say to  the rest
No matter what words or names I'm called
I'm still here standing tall and blessed
 
I don't care what you call me next
but I will make it come to an end
Either come clean and grow up
keep walking or be a friend
 
Enemies are a dime a dozen
and I let them all just be
So I stand now in silence 
and ask why do you all label me
