Caught in the crosshairs, looking for a fight
You're pushing me to defense, thinking I'ma hide
But I'm in focus, setting my sights
I won't be another stereotype
Stereotype
Wouldn't it be easy
If you could put me in a box
I'd be a target for your outrage
You could treat like me a prop
Like you could stop me
Like it's only black or white, no grey
Worry about you, I'ma be okay
I listen for the nuance, everything they say
Don't take face value, this is not a game
This is not a game
Stereotype [2x]
I won't be another stereotype
Turn all the pages, left to the right
History changes, look from the side
In heavy darkness I will be light
I won't be another stereotype
Like it's only this or that, no space
Hard lines, but I leave no trace
Shots fired and I'm noble in my aim
Stakes getting higher, this is not a game
