Stereotype - Steven Cooper

I won’t be your average rapper

I won’t be whatever you call it

I won’t be somebody who follows

Somebody hollow, just keep on walkin'

I won’t be your man or puppet

I won’t be your man with strings

I won’t be that person who keeps on searchin'

And turn me to what you want me to be

I’ll stick with my suit and my tie on

Ready for business, so quickly they ride on

Skin thicker like nylon, Let it all pile on,

Guess I’ll be the target for people to fire on

Can’t be someone different, believe me I’ve tried

You think that you know me but look in my eyes

I’m not what you think take a minute and break

Down these walls that divide us, I’m cleaning the slate

They think they know what’s best

They think they know what’s good

I guess I’ll always be

Misunderstood

You think you know me so well

You think you know what I’m like

You think you’ve figured me out

But that’s a stereotype

You think you know me so well

You think you know what I’m like

You think you’ve figured me out

But that’s a stereotype

Don’t mean a thing if you don’t know my life

Not one to be walked on, ain’t telling you twice

I can be good, yeah I can be nice

But if you just see money, than just take a hike

Box you right in, my back on the wall

Most of you here, don’t know me at all

You think you know me so well

You think you know what I’m like

You think you’ve figured me out

But that’s a stereotype

You think you know me so well
