I Hate Being Categorized
He's this, he's that,this is what he should be like
He shouldn't have that many tattoos, he shouldn't dress like that
He's clearly a wannabe gangsta because he listens to Hip-Hop and Rap
I'm just me, and I hate being categorized
Sicker than your average, don't worry, its no biggie, but you're about to get hyptonized
My mind is complex, but i know the world want my words Simplified
Always got told I should follow trends and get the latest haircuts
I don't follow the latest trends, sorry I don't care enough
I don't dress to fit in, I'd much rather stand out
So you can ridicule me, but I'd rather be the odd man out
You place me as a wannabe gangsta because I wear hoodies and listen to Hip-Hop
But when have you heard me go on about selling drugs and getting people shot?
That's right you Haven't, because I don't pretend to be something I'm not
I'm a mixture of everything I love, and no I'm not lost
I'm comfortable in my own skin sorry if that scares you
So I'm going to be me, and when you talk I won't hear you
You look at my tattoos and try to label me
You can take your shots but you won't disable me
Because I wear Pink some of you want to call me gay
You must be homophobic,a phobia is something you're scared of, So that's the wrong word to say
I've dated numerous girls so I get called a playa and I deserved it when I got my heart broke
I can understand that, But we all have different ways to cope
Oh he must be a hooligan because he loves football
Go ahead and call me what you like, I'm done caring at all
He's this, he's that,this is what he should be like
He shouldn't have that many tattoos, he shouldn't dress like that
He's clearly a wannabe gangsta because he listens to Hip-Hop and Rap
I'm just me, and I hate being categorized
