Stereotypes are a commodity Stereotypically My childhood should be filled with only happiness Happiness because of my color No struggle
Struggle should never have confronted me Never should have shown me how to survive Or how to better myself Because me being me I realize
I realize the uneducated hide Hide behind stereotypes the unconsciously enforce Enforcing by proving the statistics and stereotypes Statistics and stereotypes that have to have an origin
If you judge me by stereotypes You will fail to realize The stereotypes you fight to uphold will never define me
I will succeed not because of my color Or because of a stereotype I will accomplish my goals Only because I refuse to let others limit The excellence I can achieve By pushing stereotypes that hold hardly any truth onto me
