Stereotypes...Some of us accept them for what they are, others try their damndest to disassociate themselves from them. Who really cares? Stereotypes are just things that are a part of one's culture that another uses to generalize them. Again I ask, who really cares?
I'm Black...Obviously
I can sing...Well, I can "sang" there's a difference
I can rhyme...Who doesn't?
I can dance...Oh yeah, don't let the girth fool you
I don't know who my father is...There are things you can't control
I like fried chicken...Am I the only one?
I like red kool aid...Yes, I know red is not a flavor
I am lazy...You try cooking for 150 mofos and see if you wouldn't be
I've been on welfare...The class system affects us all in one way or another
I wake up on CPT...Only on the weekends though
I partake in "herbal conversations"...But I'm not into drugs
I talk to the movie screen...I shoud be able to after they charge me $100.00
I am good at sports...Practice will do that for you
I wear baggy clothes and Timbs...But I own a nice suit collection
I have a baby's mother...She wears my ring also
Whether you allow stereotypes to define you or not is your choice. Live your life...Just make sure you live it right. Nothing else matters.
Truly Yours,
