Stereotypes

Stereotypes So now you join an equality club and think you’re an activist You seriously wanna get hired but now a high school graduate It’s really really sad that it even had to come down to this Oh my God!! You going against racism, profiling, and produce brutality But behind closed doors you killin yo own, this I reality Can’t wear a colored scarf in public, it’s the hood mentality Just because you wear that color they shoot. Got the audacity? Back in the day they made us work for free, manual labor But nowadays you can’t even get a job. Do me a favor? Pull up ya’ pants, fix ya’ collar. That’s what they pay attention to. You try to get a job, they dismiss you before the interview. We got it hard being black, yo. The hatred and the despise. Shout out to the Central Park five And Korey Wise Not like the other guys. Only there for support And we here today in and outta court Man quit goin’ to jail. How you help your family? Gotcha “baby momma” workin’ 2, 3 jobs. This is a tragedy. You think you get all these chances? No, man this is insanity. You get one chance to get it right, then you’re in the system. Police shot a man, thought a brush was a gun, now po po po the victim. No I’m not dissing you, just giving words of wisdom. Don’t give in to the stereotypes. It’ll ruin your life. They can’t wait to call you an animal because you got in a fight They called us monkeys and that n-word, and you here repeating it. Can’t find anything else to say? It’s like the insult...hmmm... you’re needing it. You should be a part of a movement-matter of fact- you should be leading it. Instead of calling each other that, you should be defeating it. Yes, the world can get outta hand. But it’s all according to God’s plan. So don’t try to change destiny and end another life man.
