Stereotyping
you type me in stereo
of how i should be
how i should sound
to whom i should speak
where i should live
in or outskirts of town
what circles to mix
who to hang around
are we not unique
in our own special way
why then look at me
when i say what i say
yet you think i should walk
the same steps as you
learn how to talk
just like you do
eat at the same table
be a part of the crowd
wear the same labels
as you're wearing now
i'm my own person
not out on a loan
can't think of much worse than
typing me in stereo
